HVB delivery HVB buffer @ ISR ~2000 HVB HVBs delivered from IHEP New shipment expected from IHEP end September (800 HVB)
HVB replacement Still 25 chambers at ISR with old HVBs Mostly spares & chambers for later (underground) installation rounds (6 MB1, 9 MB2, 5 MB3, 2 MB4/9-11, 3 MB4/4) Teams from all institutes have been present during the summer for replacement AACHEN: HV & scaler tests except last replacement round CIEMAT: All chambers tested under gas & scaler tests LNL: Only HV tested after closing! Next replacement rounds AA: Urgent: test chambers from last replacement (in progress) CIE & LNL?
HV long term test The achieve of a stable HV behavior is the most time consuming operation and the main source of delays in chamber certification. Many problems appeared only after weeks under gas & HV. Grass-like discharges are still present. In some cases even despite HV components substitution the problem didn't disappear. Careful isolation and handling of components is fundamental
Some additional problems Pay attention to discharges in HV connector (additional shrink tube is recommended for hot pins) Please add the mylar foil properly (covering the whole risky surface)

YB+2 chambers status Surface installation for this wheel is complete (apart from feet chambers, to be installed as soon as cabling is finished) Feet chambers are at the ISR, already fully certified (equipped with MC and tested), waiting for RPC coupling. All installed chambers have been commissioned. 1. One MB3 had HV problems during a few days (continuous wire discharges), intervention was planned but the problems disappeared by themselves (?) 2. One MB3 had to be substituted due to HV problems (continuous strip discharges) and FE problems in the Theta SL. It was substituted for MB3C34 (initially assigned to YB+1) and equipped with HVB5. 3. One MB4 had to be returned to the ISR from SX5 before installation due to HV problems. At the ISR the discharges were identified inside of a cell in phi1, which had to be disconnected. We succeeded testing it under cosmics in upsidedown position (RPC coupled).

YB+1 chambers status Surface installation just finished last week with the last MB4s (again, no feet chambers installed yet) MB3 removed from YB+2 (MB3C) was repaired (cell disconnected), HVB substituted and reinstalled in YB+1 after testing. One of the MB4/ (MB4/C31)chambers was installed with HV problems. It will be repaired as soon as the gas flow at SX5 comes back to normality. One of the big MB4 (MB4C) had some gluing defects along certain cathodes of the upper plate in phi2. They induced noise and some mechanical problems. It was compensated by gluing a thick plate on top of the problematic region.

YB0 chambers status Next installation will proceed with the positive sectors of wheel 0 and negative sectors on the bottom part of the wheel (total 8 sectors to prepare). All chambers for these sectors have been aligned and equipped with HVB5. They are at the ISR going through certification (only 2 MB4s not yet present) As soon as these chambers are ready, equipped with MCs, and coupled to RPCs they will be stored in vertical position in order to advance the installation tasks and free some space at the testing area (Up to 24 chambers, tool will be ready in the next days). Actually already 6 of them are sitting on the transport frames

Chambers for magnet test Chambers for sectors & 11 of negative wheels are being prepared as well. Certification is still a few steps behind YB0 chambers.

Perspectives Two wheels completed, YB0 in progress. We expect to have the chambers ready on time, but Final certification is conditioned by settlement of HV problems. These delays are unpredictable. MC availability is not delaying recently chamber availability. HVB production and delivery is out of the critical path. HVB for all chambers needed for next installation rounds before the magnet test have been already substituted. Only a few chambers are left for HVB substitution. For this few chambers, it s important to minimize the time required to have them ready for MCS. We ask the replacement teams to test the chambers (HV & scalers) after substitution. A new data base with final versions of the traveller files is almost ready. It ll be released in the next days. Data from MC & MC tests will be included, and we are planning to create an electronic logbook for tests.
