CMS Schedule

[Note: This information is obsolete. This schedule information is replaced by the US CMS Project Planning files available above. - J. Hanlon, 18-Dec-96]

The high-level CMS schedule and milestones for the experimental halls, magnet, and yoke have been extracted from CMS planning document "CMS/V23-26/06/96 MSP" (a Microsoft Project version 4 file) to a smaller Project file. It is these schedules and milestones which drive the fabrication, assembly, and installation schedules for the detector.

The HCAL fabrication, assembly, installation, commission and test schedule for both the assembly and collision halls has been added to this extracted Project file, together with the schedule for ECAL and Tracker installation, commission and test.

This Microsoft Project file is available below in a variety of formats. The schedule is available in gif and postscript formats, and the Project file itself is available in native mpp or interchange mpx format.
