Some numbers for ‘fun’:BMS Machines:2007: 80000 bricks have been inserted in the target in 11 months => 1700 /week
2008: 70000 bricks have been inserted in the target in 6 months => 2900 /week19500 bricks have been extracted and reinserted in the target in 6 months time => 800 /week
2009: 14000 bricks are extracted and reinserted in the target in 3 months => 1170 /week
Since 2008: BMS machines have moved 894 tons of bricks in the target with great care: 28 motors and 100 sensors are active all the time and mechanics and actuators are working very hardly with challenging reliability.
BMS VV have travelled about the distance Roma-L’Aquila: 50 km in 2008 and already 70 km in 2009(diameter of wheels: 40mm)

BMS Machines: hardware status
The BMS maintenance + repairs are programmed from Monday April 27th to May 8th 2009. a LAPP team will work to address the following items:
• Preventive maintenance after black CS replacement• total revision of the BMS bridge on the Rock Side• Replacement of some profibus cables on the Rock side (Y and Z chains)• Try to correct the geometry of the Rock side platform due to the deformation • Replace and readjust the guiding of the portico along the large Z movement•Z Navig driving belt tension system analysis on corridor side• Revision of the drums and the rotating parts of the cage• Recalibration of the whole BMS setups
The work should be carefully organised such that the other activities are not interfering
We need at least 3 days (from May 6th to May 8th to run without interference in order to reoptimise the BMS for the new Run

Black CS extraction reminder:2 groups have to be extracted: The first 13000 bricks produced by the BAM for which there was no hole in the
CS envelop: they are considered as the first 13000 bricks loaded in the detector (Brick Id < 14400)= group A
There are additional 4000 bricks for which there was a hole but stored during long time under vacuum. Those brick positions are not so sharply defined as in the first category. But looking at the CS fog data we isolated the group B: 34000< Id < 37500 (about 3500 bricks)A

sas of March 9th 2009: remains 289 rows (blue squares) = 7500 bricks to extractas of March 30th 2009: remains 157 rows (blue squares) = 4082 bricks to extract
7
To be careful: some rows contain good bricks or bricks which should not be treated: (0.3% candidate bricks and 0.6% not high fog bricks) : both types will be reinserted in the detector
However the priority are given according to the rows where there is a maximum of CS to replace.
We use a BMM tool interface to the DB to do the bookkeeping of the extracted bricks
Black CS extraction strategy:
A dedicated activity has been installed beginning of this year and made operational in Hall C since Feb 2nd 2009

‘theoretical’ upper limit achievable for the BMS if there is no major hardware failure during 2 shifts/day:
BMS Insertion max. rate: 900 bricks/day 4 drums/dayBMS Extraction max. rate: 2/3 of insert rate = 600 bricks/day
‘Average’ rate achieved for the BMS during 2 shifts/day including all sort of hardware and Gran Sasso related failures since Feb 2nd :
BMS Insertion average rate: 3 drums/day (max=3.72) (eff = 75%)BMS Extraction average rate: = 586 bricks/day (eff = 98%)
However several unrelated show stoppers occurred: • Tunnel closure (-15 hours), • Snow storms (-5 hours) , • OPERA DB Oracle access problem (-8 hours),• etc…
BMS performances

Summary for the last 2 months (Feb 2nd-March 30th): Black CS extraction Expected: 10800 achieved: 11902Brick reinsertion: Expected: 7650 achieved: 6084CNGS extraction: Expected: 260 achieved: 231
BMS performances and schedule
Goals for the period (Feb 2nd-April 24th): Black CS extraction Expected: 13700 originally: 15000Brick reinsertion: Expected: 14900 originally: 22000CNGS extraction: Expected: 460 originally: 260
Activities foreseen from May 11th – May 23rd Brick reinsertion: Expected: 2200 (includes last BAM production)CNGS extraction: Expected: 100 (4days)
BMS maintenance and repair April 27th – May 8th
Start CNGS 2009 run extraction from May 25th
15
CNGS extraction efficiency is then: 99.80 ± 0.10 %
• 4 rows with candidate bricks inside are blocked. and are not yet recovered and no hope to easily recover them
Those achievements were not done without pain:BMS Extraction suffers from bad skates + glue + lost/destroyed CS coverUnexpected and damaging LNGS power cuts on BMS systems and hardware + loss of BMM DB…Hardware failures: motors, servo-control, vehicle, crashes due to external factors
1906 bricks extracted up to March 27th 2009 (for 1690 events!).
CNGS Brick candidate extractions:
However during the black CS extraction in the worst rows with the bad skates only we have 16 rows with blocked bricks! It is why the maximum exchange of black CS would have been the best option for the 5 coming years
16
CNGS Brick candidate extractions: At the Exec meeting of Feb. 13th Dario summarised the need for additional extractionsBricks still to be extracted: (first) 76+70+60+25 (2nd estimated with (second, first extracted) 36040% ineff on 1st) (second, first not extracted) 90 Total 680It was asked to modify the planning during the black CS extraction period to include more CNGS extraction which we did and went from 5 to 10.5 days of extraction.
It was corresponding to double the rate and should end up with 460 extracted bricks up to April 24th 2009 among the 680 possible requests
However the drawback was the reduction of the number of black CS to be treated of about 2000 => 14000 instead of 16000 treatable
At the beginning of 2009 run: a maximum of 100 bricks may still to be extracted if we base on the above numbers

Shielded area Storage capacity: 1000 bricks
up to March. 28th
# places on shelves
We extract more but this gap increases!

Brick Handling and new BMM development:
Brick to Brick connection management actions have been implemented this week in the BMM software.The knowledge of the B2B characteristic is known at the time of the brick extraction request retrieved from the central database.For those bricks the flow will be:
• CS-ray is done• CS is developped• when the brick arrives in the shielded area, its state will go directly to waiting for X-ray if put on a shelf
