Goals and Questions to be Addressed

Goals and Plans of GG3

GG3 will cover operations issues including attaining a high availability, special needs for commissioning, and the machine and personnel protection systems. The spotlight will be on ways these requirements effect major machine design decisions. The output of the group should be a list of how operations is effected by some of the design choices and a list of features needed to attain an ILC that will efficiently integrate luminosity. In cases where we cannot answer the questions, we should describe the work needed to attain the answer and find someone to do that work.

Schedule2

Availability (Simulation Study)

Benchmarking Availability Code with HERA, S.Schaetzel• well reproduced failure numbers indicate that the

failures are consistently generated in the program, i.e. a consistency test of the code

Availability Simulations for ILC, T.Himel• Key assumptions: MTBFs and MTTR

• Mean Time Between Failures• Mean Time To Recovery

• Undulator requires availability of electron beam. • two tunnel system achieves 78%, a single tunnel 64%

availability. • MTBF of several components have to be increased by

factors up to 20 to yield an 85% uptime.

Full list of Components

One vs Two Tunnels (cont.)Reliability studies favour 2 tunnel solution

(recommendation from WG2/GG3 based on these studies)

• People generally agreed with the above notes on the 3 talks.

• The control system must be able to record synchronized data of many time scales from many systems to allow fault analysis

• Need naming and numbering conventions that are followed.

• It would be nice to have DR not with linac to give more commissioning time of the DR while the linac is under construction.

• The effect of 1 vs 2 tunnel and DR location on phased commissioning are important and need further work in week 2.

Commissioning Discussion -1/2-

Commissioning Discussion -2/2-

• The method of energy upgrade will effect commissioning. Needs further work in week 2

• It would be nice to have a keep-alive type e+ source to commissioning the e+ system (in addition to the e- source)

• Diagnostics should function at 1% beam intensity for commissioning and MPS recovery. It is OK if wire scanners are replaced with profile monitors for this.

• An automated alignment system that runs on tracks and automatically surveys component positions would be very useful

Tom Himel; 8/18, Tom Himel; 8/18, Notes from Commissioning Session of GG3

Running out of time….• Main accelerator beam dynamics (WG1)• Bunch Compression (WG1)

– Recommendation: 2 stage preferred(6mm→150m or 9mm → 300m)

• Instrumentation (GG2)– BPMs, wire scanners (laser-wire), MPS issues, etc.

• Machine Protection System (GG3+GG2+WG1)– Very high risk (US LC options study)

• Operations, reliability, commissioning (GG3)– Major issue for complex machine

• Cost & Engineering (GG4)– Cost is everything!

• Much much more….

An incredible amount of work has been done/presented at this workshop!
