1.Welcome and Update
Because Rob does not want any printed agendas and the ACCESS website does not work yet, Indico may be an option to spread information.
2.Project Office Update
Update A2T: There are significant changes regarding beam and accelerator.
There will be columns instead of shielding all the way which gives additional space.
3.Bunker Update
The Monte Carlo modelling for shielding has been started, requirements are on the way.
Optics and Shielding: The right choice between the kind of optics and the kind of shielding has still to be done. A coupling or global optimisation is necessary to be sure that the choices made will not have a negative effect for other divisions.
At J-Parc originally 30 % of the facility costs were calculated for shielding, after careful modeling the sum was down to 15 %.
4.NMX
Requirements for the optic group were sent to Phil.
LOKI has to define its own requirements, Esko and Ken will deliver possible options which the chopper group will evaluate.
The non-functional requirements are still very vague, indications are awaited.
The definement of a skeleton has been started, based on the proposal.
5.LOKI
The requirements are progressing well with good feedback.
The non-functional requirements are still missing.
Rob will send PSAR – Preliminary Safety Analysis Report.
There is a CAD – skeleton for the instrument existing.
In the end of January a LOKI kickoff-meeting with the scientific partners and the STAP took place.
Ken reports about possibilities of applying for external funding in Sweden. After some discussion a possible application seemed most effective for next year.
Esko had an internal kickoff-meeting with the technical staff and would like to have a STAP-meeting in September which is to be further discussed.Phils STAP is keen to help.
There should be a discussion about merging the advisory panels in the future.
6.ODIN
For this instrument work is started regarding the requirements, together with various instrument scientists who meet regularly.
CAD-work on the skeleton is started as well, but Markus’ parameters are still missing. The project planning is still to begin.
There should be a kickoff-meeting with Markus’STAP, preferably in April.
Iain is waiting for non-functional requirements.
7.Electrical Engineering
The employee for the NMX project will arrive 1 March. A definition for the handling of the robotics is necessary.
8.Detector Group
The NMX contact person will be Dorothea Pfeifer, currently located at CERN, who in the future will be present at ESS regularly. There is still no contact person for ODIN. The detector engineer will come in August.
9.Planning tools – MS Project or ProjectLibre
After some discussion about Planning Tools Rob proposes an evaluation group with the following members: Andrew Jackson, Phil Bentley, Iain Sutton and Guiseppe Aprigliano. The results of their evaluation should be presented in two weeks.
10.Baseline documents
Rob would like comments on Baseline documents by Tuesday next week.
In case there are a lot of comments a special meeting would be needed.
11.AOB
Phil proposes to use the Docdb – ESS-Server for charters. He will be sending a link and instructions.
