> **[Accelerator Integration Department]{.smallcaps}**

###### **19.d. Background**

The Accelerator Integration Department's primary task is coordination
and support for the operations of the accelerator complex. The
department has five components: Operations, Shot Data Analysis (SDA),
Accelerator Physics Coordination, and Energy Deposition Studies Groups,
and the Rapid Response Team.

###### **19.f. Accomplishments in FY05**

Operations Group: 1) successful coordination of operations as evidenced
by meeting the integrated luminosity goals, 2) completed transition to
the new model with a permanent run coordinator guiding the day-to-day
efforts of the crew chiefs, 3) routine mixed pbar source shots, 4)
successful Switchyard 120 operations, 5) initiation of NUMI operations,
6) incorporation of slip stacking for antiproton production, and 7)
support for improved stacking rate.

Rapid Response Team: 1) assisted in the commissioning of the Booster
collimation system, and 2) assisted in 400 MeV line improvements.

SDA: 1) specification and deployment of standard tables to monitor
store-by-store performance of the complex, including mixed source
stores, 2) several special purpose analyses for the Tevatron Department,
3) coordination of working groups for luminosity in conjunction with the
experiments and instrumentation issues in conjunction with the
Instrumentation Department, 4) introduction of Java Analysis Studio
methodology, 5) initial work on rewriting basic SDA physics analysis
library, and 6) incorporation of recycler into operational model and
subsequent understanding that mixed source stores were viable before
Electron Cooling is operational.

Accelerator Physics Coordination: 1) implementation of the Lattice
Repository, 2) release of beta version of CHEF (FermiLab oriented optics
application), 3) release of beta version of Web Portal, 4) initiation
with Tevatron and MI of the BLASTMAN database which will contain
component locations, survey information, and magnetic properties of
magnets for the machines and transfer lines, 5) coordination of study
plans and optics working groups, 6) creation of new low beta optics, and
7) lattice measurements for Tevatron.

Energy Deposition Studies: Developments of the MARS code system resulted
in a new generation MARS15 code: arbitrary elementary particles and
heavy ions, new systematics for inelastic and elastic cross-sections,
fully analog exclusive event generator based on CEM and LAQGSM codes
including spallation, fission and fragmentation products, new model for
leading baryon production, correlated energy loss and multiple Coulomb
scattering model, advanced geometry modules, improved MAD-MARS Beam Line
Builder, multi-processing version. Using the MARS15 and STRUCT codes,
calculation and design studies of optics, beam loss, shielding,
collimators and radiation environment for the Tevatron collimation
system (including a possible use of a bent crystal) and beam abort
system, CDF, D0 and BTeV detectors; first look at a Main Injector and
MI-8 collimation systems; optics studies for the Booster L13 upgrade
(new injection and orbit bump); model development, background and
radiation studies for NuMI/MINOS, MINERVA and MIPP experiments; beam
line, injection, stripping and radiation shielding designs for a 8-GeV
linac proton driver; detailed studies of the dipole-first IR for the LHC
LARP upgrade; first look at tertiary collimators in the LHC IR5 region;
building a realistic 3-D MARS model of the ILC beam delivery system
starting from the collimation system, through the IP, detector, and the
extraction line to the beam dumps; first calculations of beam loss
distribution in this model.

###### **19.g.1. Accomplishments Expected in FY06**

Operations and Rapid Response Team: 1) integration of Recycler with
Electron Cooling into operations, 2) faster transfers between
Accumulator and Recycler, 3) increased intensity and repetition rate for
NuMI, and 4) continued emphasis on integrated luminosity for collider
experiments. The Rapid Response Team will be assigned tasks as needed.

SDA: 1) ongoing maintenance and upgrades to standard SDA tables and
access tools, improved bunch by bunch tables, and integration of
information from improved BPMs, 2) implementation of upgraded libraries,
3) special purpose analyses, and 4) continuation of luminosity and
instrumentation working groups and Run II meetings as needed.

Accelerator Physics Coordination: 1) release operational version of
CHEF, 2) continue work on the Web Portal, 3) add additional machine and
transfer lines information in BLASTMAN as available from Technical
Division and the Alignment and Metrology Group, 3) expanded access tools
for BLASTMAN, 4) continue coordination of accelerator study plans, and
5) continue optics study groups.

Energy Deposition Studies: Maintenance and further development of the
MARS code system, including upgrade of the geometry, visualization,
heavy ion and electromagnetic shower modules. Activities of FY05 will
continue in FY06 with emphasis on the Fermilab Run II needs both on
accelerator (Booster, Main Injector and Tevatron) and experiment (CDF,
D0, NuMI and MIPP) sides. Beam loss and radiation studies towards a
design of the Proton Driver. Energy deposition calculations on the LHC
will continue for the IP1 and IP5 regions at normal operation and
accidental conditions with emphasis on the LARP IR designs (quadrupole
and dipole first), tertiary collimators, and the forward detector
regions (CMS, TOTEM, FP420 and ZDC). Further developments of the ILC
BDIR model with emphasis on the collimation system efficiency,
machine-detector interface, and extraction line and component designs.

###### **19.g.2. Future Accomplishments Expected in FY07 and Beyond**

Operations and Rapid Response Team: continue increasing integrated
luminosity for collider operation and NuMI by emphasizing stable
operation. Recycler operation with Electron Cooling should be routine.
The Rapid Response Team will be assigned tasks as needed.

SDA: 1) ongoing maintenance and upgrades to standard tables and access
tools and 2) analyses as needed with increasing pbar bunch intensities.
The need for the luminosity and instrumentation working groups should
have decreased substantially.

Accelerator Physics Coordination: 1) routine use of CHEF and integration
into control room applications, 2) additions to Web portal, 3) finish
adding other machines and transfer lines to BLASTMAN, 4) continue
developing tools as needed to access BLASTMAN data, and 5) continue
coordination of study plans and optics groups.

Energy Deposition Studies Group: The previous years\' activities and
support will continue with emphasis on the Run II needs at the
accelerator complex and in the collider and fixed target experiments,
and for the Proton Driver project. Further developments of the MARS code
system. Energy deposition studies and support for the LARP program on
LHC will continue in the three areas: IR design, magnet design and
collimation system. Further developments, studies and support of the ILC
BDIR and machine-detector interface with enginnering constraints taken
into account. Energy deposition modeling and support for possible
accelerator and experimental facilities when deemed necessary.
