Floor levelling

- floor DS of Q9 is not sufficiently flat- unevenness up to 2cm reported (T. Hayler)- a complete survey + levelling of the area is

needed prior to laying down the floor aluminium plate

- this (unfortunately) requires TOF1/KL to be temporarily moved

- TOF1/KL planned to be back on time for the next Data Taking

- Complete plan for un-cabling/move has been discussed with detector responsibles (M.Bonesini/L.Tortora)

- Experts from Milan/Rome on their way (18/2) to assist with operations (in particular KL horizontalisation)

- At the moment KL/TOF cables have been properly marked and de-cabled

MICE VC 12/2/2009 5

Two minor issues

Small leak noticed on Q7: mirror plates removed & being investigated (Spensley)

M. Bonesini requested some PMTs (from TOF0) back to Milan for test/repair. Cosmic Bar to be removedShould be easier now (DSA free access)
