TPC Status
TB 07.11.06 Peter Glässel, Heidelberg 2
Pre-Commissioning
Phase 1 results see Oct Forum
Phase 2 (till Nov 19):‘endurance test’ for sectors, 2 days, 2 at a time
Finalized cabling
Better known gas composition
Full DCS functionality: monitoring and storing of parameters (i.e. FEE temperatures)
ISEG HV: monitoring currents
Prepare sectors for transport
2/3 done
Sector covers (cooled)
TB 07.11.06 Peter Glässel, Heidelberg 3
Main results in phase 2
FEE life: no single failure
Gain curves, gain margin A-side
HV trips:Only seen with ISEG: fast hardware trip
Mainly seen for OROCs
regardless of trip current settings
No clear correlation with HV, time (conditioning?)
Modify time constant: with 15 M series resistor only one trip since 5 days on C-side
Gain spikes (high gain on a pad row): go away with time

OROC A00 exchange
Wire broken
150 V below max HV tested
Decision to exchange OROCPreparations in parallel to phase 2 commissioning C-side: remove electronics (1 sector only), cabling, FEE frames
Yellow platform in non-standard asymmetric fashion (keep I-bars on A-side)
Re-test spare OROC before exchange
Time schedule till end Nov: 10 days delay

TPC transport to UX2
Technical questions for transport resolvedTransport document http://www.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/~glassel/TPC/TPC-transport/TPC-transport.pdf
Except maybe weather: T < 10 deg?
Preparations start late Nov, actual transport 4.12.?
Last minute technical problem for installation:Connection rails are incompatible with BSF
need to be modified, redesign done, calculations pending
Critical part taking large forces (5.5 t vertical)
Load test needed
Have to be in place before transport: time schedule risk
