Summary of LS1 opening

Detector movements to Standard Opening Planned from Feb. 14th to March 8thFrom Feb.14th to March 13th, + 3 days

C side in Large Opening configuration Planned on March 28th Completed on March 25th, - 3 days

Pixels in SR1 Planned on April 18th Completed on April 9th, - 7 days

Opening process went fine even if a very intense period2 teams of 12 persons working in 2 shifts + experts supports : Safety, RPE… + Interventions of many experts on the various systems : Beam Pipes, Calorimeters, Cryogenics, Muons, Lucid, Survey

Only one major problem : 140 T crane failed during HF Truck lifting on C side (on Feb. 19th)Repair completed on Feb. 22nd

M. Raymond – July 1st, 2013

Planned on March 13th Completed on March 19th, + 4 days

The installation of the lifting frame on the Small Wheel has been more difficult than expected : Expected difficulties were well

anticipated Some unexpected ones appeared !!

This milestone was not on the critical path of the schedule :Work has been done quietly without taking risk

The whole opening process has been performed in reasonable agreement with the time schedule presented on previous Atlas week. It has open the door to significant activities on various detectors.

SW-C at surface

M. Raymond – July 1st, 2013

EE chamber installation

Important activity regarding the schedule because of a strong impact on the activities in the experimental cavern :

Parallel to the opening process Requires specific configuration + dismounting of many access platforms on A side Space consuming on A side, Large use of crane

Preparatory workPlanned to start on Feb. 21st actual start on Feb 26th

Chamber installation (mechanics)EEL planned from Feb. 25th to March 18th performed from Feb 28th to April 2nd EES planned from March. 29th to April 26th performed from March 26th to April 18th

Chamber alignment and commissioning Planned to be completed on May 8th actual completion on May 15th

M. Raymond – July 1st, 2013
