Sector 5 -6 & 6 -7 n LSS 5 R Ø Ø n Arc 5 -6 and DS Ø n Ø Ø UA 63: short circuit tests in progress (8 th zone out of 15) US/UX 65: installation of QULA in progress UA 67: power converters in place, cabling (AC, DC, Control & Water cooled) in progress Arc 6 -7 and DS Ø n Cryo-magnet transport in progress: 153 MB and 49 SSS in place LSS 6 L/LSS 6 R Ø n Low-β, DFBX, D 1(6 MBXW) and TAN in place UJ 56 -RR 57: power converters & energy extraction systems (DQR/DQS) in place short circuit tests start mid-November Cryo-magnet installation: 52 dipoles and 26 SSS in place (24/10/2006) No passage through 7 -8 & 8 -1 from Monday to Thursday due to interconnection work transport of cryo-dipoles and special SSS during week-ends, arc SSS via UX 65 LSS 7 L/R Ø Ø Straight section: all services completed UJ 73 & UJ 76: power converters and energy extraction systems in place short circuit tests start mid-December 24 October 2006 Sylvain Weisz - LEMIC

No dipole transport from mid-December to January: Cool-down of sector 7 -8 (ambiant temp. to 80 K) No time to perform nominal Hardware Commissioning in 2007 4 weeks for cool-down: crude calibration & tuning of cryo. loops 4 weeks for power tests: restrict to injection energy 24 October 2006 Sylvain Weisz - LEMIC

Sector 1 -2 & 2 -3 n Sector 1 -2 Ø Ø n LSS 2 L/LSS 2 R Ø Ø Ø n Water cooled cables installation in progress in UA 23, done in UA 27 Air treatment and cooling units installation close to completion in UA 23/27 Installation of power converters in progress in UA 23, done in UA 27 Arc 2 -3 and DS Ø Ø n QRL installation completed: pressure tests scheduled October 28 th QRL work behind us! Installation of support jacks in progress Cryo-magnet installation in progress: 40 dipoles and 6 SSS in place QRL jumper preparation done LSS 3 L/R Ø Ø 24 October 2006 Installation of Power Converters in UJ 33 completed, PC cabling just started DSLC (cryogenic power line) installation in progress Sylvain Weisz - LEMIC

Last DFB’s in May 07 Delays installation of low-β in LSS 2 L Other cryo-magnets in place by March 07 Closure of LHC by end of August 07 (incl. leak & pressure tests) Global operation tests with 7 Sectors in // Preparation for beam 1 week for Sector 1 -2 24 October 2006 Sylvain Weisz - LEMIC

Main Installation Milestones o o o o End of interconnect in Sector 7 -8: week 45 (mid-November) Start of cool-down of Sector 7 -8: week 51 (mid-December) Start of power tests in Sector 7 -8: mid-March 07 End installation of cryo-magnets (except LSS 2 L low-β): end of March 07 LHC Closure (including leak & pressure tests): end of August 07 End of power tests up to injection energy: mid-November 07 Ready for beam commissioning at 450 Ge.
