The Accelerator Integration Department is in charge of making sure that the accelerators are running at peak efficiency, that the resources needed to run these machines are available, and that the interfaces amoung the machines are properly maintained and configured.

  • Operations Group
    • Create and coordinate the operational plan for the Accelerator complex.
    • Runs the 9:00 meeting.
    • Shares responsibility for handling unusual operational situations.
    • Develops and oversees operational guidelines for the Operations Dept.
    • Evaluates and oversees operational policies of the Systems Depts.
    • Monitors peak operating performance of the accelerators
  • SDA and Operations Model Group
    • Assures the integrity of the collider/shot data
    • Conducts physics analysis using the collider/shot data
    • Develops guidelines for shot strategy
    • Develops and integrates collider/shot data analysis tools
    • Shares responsibility for handling unusual operational situations
    • Develops the operational model of the accelerator complex
  • Physics Group
    • Responsible for the physics model of the accelerator complex.
    • Responbible for the Lattice Repository
    • Develops and prioritizes the study plan for the accelerator complex.
    • Monitors the study proposals and write-ups of the Systems departments.
    • Prioritizes the accelerator physics issues of the accelerator complex.
    • Coordinates the accelerator physics task forces
    • Coordinates the Thursday Run II Accelerator Physics Meeting
  • Rapid Response Team
    • Used to solve pressing operational or accelerator physics problems that have a life span of ~3-6 months
    • Focuses on one or two problems at a time (i.e. Injection matching into the TEV, Bunch length in the Main Injector, NUMI commissioning)
    • Consists of a strong group of accelerator physicists in the division; membership will be dynamic
    • Deployment of Rapid Response Team controlled by the Coordination Team
