components partly reused in FAIR

Status 2008 and the realization is based

on the concept of Inkind contribution




8

An international partner takes over a work package

in own technical and financial responsibility

according to the functional needs

and basic specifications of the work package

and the costs as listed in the cost book.

The concept of InKind-Contributions:

Because of this many administrative and political

Issues had to be solved in the last 2 years.

- Because of an increase in cost for

- accelerators

- experiments

- civil engineering

the Modularized Start Version was defined

and agreed upon by the international partners.

12

Political and financial status

-There are firm commitments of 16 international partners including Germany summing up to 1.1 Billion €.

-Recently announced commitments of more interested countries are not included in the sum.

Contracts are finalized and supposed to be signed in the third quarter of 2010.

FAIR GmbH is expected to be founded in the third quarter of 2010, too.




13

Technical status

- The modularized civil construction design is in an iterative loop to meet the financial limits as given by the Modularized Start Version.

- It will be finished in July 2010.

- This construction design is not the detailed final construction, but it defines the fundamental layout and later, major changes are not possible because of the German procedure for building projects funded by public authorities (ZBau).

An example for the actual iteration loop is the tunnel for the two accelerators SIS 100 and SIS 300 and the parallel tunnel for components, which should be close to the machine but do not have to be in the machine tunnel.



SIS 100/300 Paralleltunnel Created in the first ZBau-loop:

- Components are in non radiated area

- access to components while beam is on

- very short cables to the beam line

Thickness of radiation shielding is in discussion

Width of parallel tunnel is in discussion



Independent from the modifications due to the Modularized Start Version

there are more technical changes in the project since the status of 2008

An example for changes as mentioned above is the connection to the Electrical Power Grid.

Technical Status continued

Electrical Power Grid : Status 2008




17

Increase of Common Power C2 to 63 MVA because:- all magnets of HESR are decided to be normal conducting- Dipols of CR-Ring are decided to be normal conducting

Electrical Power Grid : Status 2008 to 2010

63 MVA transformers are placed on the FAIR-site because: - reduction of number of transmission cables to the site

Decision to parallel the transformers PP1 and PP2 because:

- voltage fluctuations due to reactive power swings of 46 MVAr are reduced to 3.7%

- additional costs are very small

Increase of Pulse Power PP2 to 63 MVA because:- all magnets of HEBT are decided to be normal conducting- Transformers of PP1, PP2 and C2 are interchangeable- 3 Transformers of the same type 63 MVA do not cost much more

than 1 transformer 31,5 MVA and 2 transformers 63 MVA
