Highlights:
- A kick-off meeting for the design of the Site Preparation work was held on May 3, 2018.
- Held first PIP-II ESH focused IPT meeting this week with focus on international code equivalencies and contributions from in-kind partners.
- Defined top-level structure for PIP-II CAD model as the format for incoming lattice data.
- A wire scanner was installed in the PIP2IT MEBT and a new toroid was installed in the LEBT region.
ESH&Q (Teri Dykhuis & John Anderson):
- The IDNR and USFWS did not think that a survey for the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee was necessary because it’s known that the species is present. They requested specific information for both the PIP-II and LBNF sites. Our consultant, Arcadis is drafting letters to both agencies that will cover all species and both projects. These letters will be sent from FSO to the agencies.
- Held first PIP-II ESH focused IPT meeting this week. Focus was on international code equivalencies and contributions from in-kind partners.

International Coordination (Steve Holmes & Lia Merminga):
- Confirmed with Department of Commerce/BIS that the existing Fermilab Export License covers sharing of software with BARC.
- A table of assumed deliverables from international partners was developed. This will be used for building our resource loaded schedule.
- RFPI Technical Requirements Specification Rev 7 released, and ready for approval by DAE.
SRF & Cryo Systems (Allan Rowe & Genfa Wu):
HWR
- All RF ports outside of the HWR CM changed from SMA to Type-N (female) per Fermilab’s request.

- Assigned L3-managers received the HWR Interface Specification Document (ISD) for review and approval.
- Preparation for high power integrated (HWR&Coupler) test at ANL is ongoing.
SSR1
- SSR1 Cavities
- Results of cavity S107 tested in STC with LPC were analyzed and cavity meets the requirement.
- Installation of cavity S111 in the STC. Cooldown to 2K and testing in progress.
- Cavity S113 received HPC at MP9. Next 120C baking and STC-HPC testing.
- Flange maintenance of cavity S106. Next cavity to be processed (light BCP+HPR) at ANL.
- Validated the alignment model of cavities with the use of CMM.
- Updated tooling list and parts for string assembly with action items (i.e., electropolishing, location, etc.)
- Updating step-by-step procedure for string assembly.
- SSR1 Cryomodule
- Working on completing tooling for WS2-4 (string assembly through final cryomodule) at Lab 2.
- Drawings of the lifting tooling for WS2 have been checked and released. Next: procurement.
- Lab2
- Preparing facility for final cleanroom qualification.
LB650
- The four (2 conventional design + 2 new “shielded” design) coupler cold ends have been received at Fermilab.
- First 650 MHz coupler meeting held. Current status reviewed, potential action items have been identified. This meeting is proposed to occur on a weekly basis.
HB650
- HB650 1st CM P6 schedule being reviewed and changes being recommended.
Cryogenics Plant
- Finished draft of ICD
- Began reviewing Cryoplant building TRS and compiling list of building/utility requirements from Cryoplant perspective.
- Began compiling list of documentation requirements for Preliminary Design Review of Cryoplant Integration.
- In contact with ESS cryo folks and scheduled an informal visit to learn various aspects of the ESS cryogenic plant and system.
Cryogenics Distribution System
- Finalized travel plans to ESS to learn various aspects of the ESS cryogenic plant and systems. The ESS cryogenic system is very similar to the proposed PIP-II cryogenic system.
- Began compiling list of documentation requirements for Preliminary Design Review of Cryoplant Integration.
- Completing ICD documents.
Accelerator Systems (Paul Derwent):
High Power RF
- Argonne is working on installing the AC power for the Tomco amplifier. FNAL Personnel plan to go there for a visit next week.
- Amplifiers at CMTF have been operating well (RFQ and buncher cavities for PIP2IT).
- Stakeholders in 650 MHz STC RF distribution have informally agreed on a routing path and installation process for the coax cable run through the HTS-2 enclosure.
- 2-D drawings of 650 MHz coupler test stand RF distribution are complete.
Instrumentation
- During the PIP2IT 2-day shutdown, the MEBT wire scanner was installed in the beamline. Alignment scheduled for next week.
Vacuum
- CD-2 work in progress with drafts of the review plan and interface control document complete.
- PIP2IT RFQ vacuum work continues. During a 2-day shutdown, the pumping port side plate at Module3 right side was removed, inspected, and modified. It has been re-installed and vacuum pumpdown is underway.
Linac Installation & Commissioning (Fernanda G. Garcia):
PIP2IT:
- With most of the team participating in IPAC’18, the activities in PIP2IT were mainly focused on installation.
- RFQ vacuum work
-
-
- This is the primary work for the shutdown.
- Removal of one port blank off on the right side to assess suspicious o’ring sealing problems.
- Plate was machined, welded and bench leak checked prior re-installation on the RFQ.
- LEBT toroid swap
- A new toroid was installed in the LEBT region to improve signal/noise ratio.
- LEBT chopper connector shield was installed.
-
- Wire scanner installation
- Wire scanner was installed, and a rough alignment of the fork was performed.
- Checks on the limit switch were performed and adjusted accordingly. Also, the full out position to MPS connection was successfully tested.
Test Infrastructure:
- Preparatory work continues for the PIP2IT cryogenic transfer line.
- The north run is fully assembled and ready to be installed. Piping is staged at the CMTS building.
- The east run is being assembled at MW9.
Installation:
- Defined top-level structure for PIP2 CAD model as the format for incoming lattice data.
Conventional Facilities (Steve Dixon):
- A/E Acquisition Plan Corrections Underway – The technical corrections have been made and Procurement will address the contractual comments with a goal of returning the acquisition plan to DOE.
- Cryo Plant Building Requirements Requisition In Process – The requisition for this work has been circulated for signatures and in Procurement. A purchase order is expected to be issued in the coming week with a start of the work in mid-June 2018.
- Site Prep Design Kick-off Meeting – A kick-off meeting for the design of the Site Preparation work was held on May 3, 2018.
