Important Concepts in the Assembly and Early Characterization of the PBFA II Accelerator

摘要

Some of the concepts for orchestrating large numbers of events associated with accelerator assembly and characterization include: (1) structuring of activity into smaller workable and trackable packages, with associated subelements assigned to each section of the accelerator. (2) establishing detailed assembly and characterization documentation to assist in component testing and subsystem integration. (3) structuring the project team for efficient communication, identification of responsibility, and capability for problem and conflict resolution. (4) developing technologies for receival, inventory, controlled storage, staging, and phased installation and testing of components and pieceparts. The application of these and other concepts to PBFA II, and the progress of accelerator assembly is discussed. (ERA citation 10:035764)
