Presentation Transcript

  1. Some Historical Issues with the Proton Source • Design predates good modeling tools. • Historically seen as “workhorse” of the lab. • Not always productive interaction between linac and booster. Booster 400 MeV “DMZ” Linac BooNE Meeting, Dec 5, 2003 - Prebys

  2. Jumping on the Restructuring Bandwagon… Proton Source Department New • New group. Responsibilies: • Coordinate modeling and studies • Address global issues BooNE Meeting, Dec 5, 2003 - Prebys

  3. Some Specific Responsibilities within Department • Doug Moehs, Ray Hren: ion source • Lester Wahl: old linac RF (7835’s) • Al Moretti: new linac RF (klystrons) • Elliott McCrory: linac control loops • Larry Allen: Linac tuning • Jim Lackey: Everything Booster • Roy Mraz: Booster power supplies • Bill Pellico: Low-level RF • Ray Tomlin: Booster tuning • Chuck Ankenbrandt: Coordinates studies, liaison (and filter) to other beam physics people. BooNE Meeting, Dec 5, 2003 - Prebys

  4. Issues to be resolved • Too many things overly “expert-dependent”. • Too many things “right-brained”. • Reproducibility still a big issue. BooNE Meeting, Dec 5, 2003 - Prebys
