Preparation of pre-CDR for LhARA

Last updated: 11Nov19 [KL]

An effort to develop a 'pre-CDR' has been initiated supported by the award of an STFC Opportunities 2019 award. This page is being used to collect and share information in the preparation of the pre-CDR.

Key dates

• 29 Nov 2019: First issue of the baseline. This will include lists from the various systems of what needs to be updated on the existing floor layout, WBS, interfaces document and the parameter table.
• 31 Dec 2019: First end-to-end tracking simulation.
• 31 Jan 2020:
  • Design of the facility will be frozen.
  • First view of the costs.
  • R&D programme needed to realise LhARA and be able to write a technical design report will be defined.
• 28 Feb 2020: Complete the write-up of the pre-CDR.
• Mar 2020: External review of pre-CDR in advance of publication.
