Comments on Technical Systems
- Main magnet designs have been completed. Prototype dipole, quadrupole
and sextupole magnets meet design specifications and have been accepted
by the project.
- Standard girder vacuum chambers are in production. The first machined
QEC chambers have arrived and production welding will begin in March.
- The RF cavities are on track for FY2001 delivery. The 1.2 MW klystron
will undergo acceptance testing later this month.
- The accelerator physics program is steadily making progress and meeting
milestones.
- The I&C system continues to fefine the computer control system;
hardware is being tested.
- The project has formalized agreements to utilize SLAC resources for the
SPEAR3 cable plant.
