**Minutes/Action items of the Accelerator performance monitoring tools
meeting, September 28^th^, 2006**

Just a quick summary about what we discussed during the meeting and the
action items we decided to work on. Some of the work has already started
(been completed). Some still has to start.\
\
The list of the monitoring tools we discussed is presented as well in
the power point file which is part of the same document:\
**1)** Supertable,
<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDAMisc/new_supertableII.html>

We will keep adding information as needed. E.g. we plan to add there
shortly 10 more columns of fit parameters for Tevatron luminosity fits

**2)** Intensities/Efficiencies and Emittances Summary Tables for each
store which go into the Shot Scrapbook

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/shot_intensities_catalog.jsp> and

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/shot_emittances_catalog.jsp>

No action items here

**3)**
http://www-bdnew.fnal.gov/pbar/AEMPlots/today/DataSummaryTables.html\
(Paul Derwent's daily plots)

[Action items:]{.underline}

We discussed:\
i) improving the format of some plots as well as adding a little bit
more information in some of the plots, like stating maximum and current
values for some of the quantities (peak luminosities, weekly integrated,
etc)

ii\) adding in the caption of the plots themselves or in a separate link
(if too detailed) some more details about what exactly is plotted, how
averages are being performed, etc.\
iii) removing the "by source" luminosity density plot\
iv) adding a few plots like:

a). Total stacking time per week\
  b). Total number of pbars stacked per week\
  c). Total number of pbars delivered to Recycler per week\
  d). Total number of pbars delivered to Tevatron per week

This is work in progress

**4)** Intensities SVG plots

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDAMisc/intensities.jsp>

[Action item:]{.underline}

Can we have a similar package that allows for comparison of stores for
proton and pbar emittances as well? Perhaps implement here some of the
features of the "Derived Tables" package for emittances?

**5)** Supertable Views/SDA Views

No action items here. Please ask if you want more of them generated.

**6)** ACC to RR pbar transfer history table:

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/acc2rec_fast.jsp?last=50>

Work complete, beams-doc writing in progress. Please ask for any
additional columns you may want to have for the shots.

**7)** Intensities/Efficiencies and Emittances Summary Tables for each
shot which go into the Recycler Shot Scrapbook:

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/shot_intensities_catalog.jsp>

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/acc2rec_emittances_catalog.jsp>

Work complete for the current format. A possible expansion was
suggested.

[Action item]{.underline}: In order to give the option to take into
account what happened in the previous transfers before we make new ones,
could we build/updtae the tables above after every transfer and send
them into the Recycler Shot Scrapbook only in the end of all transfers
as ususal?

**8)** Integrated luminosity tables:

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/javaapplications/html_write/tables/IntegratedLuminosity.html>

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/alt_lum_catalog.jsp>

[Action item]{.underline}: Can we provide the CDF- D0 average integrated
so that the run coordinator does not have to do it by hand?

**Implemented already**

**9)** Luminosity Decay Fits

<http://mccrory.fnal.gov/tevatronDecayFits/>

[Action items:]{.underline}

1)  some of the fits do not look good; can we improve them to make this
    more useful for determination of optimum time for store termination?

2)  Can we develop an OAC to be used in the beginning of the store for
    tuning adjustments?

This is work in progress. Please see as well minutes of the Oct. 9 SDA
meeting, beams-doc 2511,
[http://beamdocs.fnal.gov/DocDB/0025/002511/002/SDA_Minutes_Oct%209_2006.doc](http://beamdocs.fnal.gov/DocDB/0025/002511/002/SDA_Minutes_Oct 9_2006.doc)

**10)** OACs (Tevatron emittance OAC as well as an OAC that compares
FBI, SBD and DCCT intensities)

[Action item:]{.underline} Work in progress in addressing an
inconsistency between horizontal Tevatron emittance values reported by
the OAC and the Supertable in some cases. The difference has been traced
to different values of delta p/p used in the OAC and in StorePhysics.

**11)** Bunch by bunch intensities/emittances

a\) Derived tables: <http://www-bd.fnal.gov/OSDA/TableMaker.jsp>
(Suzanne)

b\)
<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDA_Viewer/bunch_by_bunch_emittances_catalog.jsp>
(Tim)

c\) Jerry's tables (Tim)

a\) has a lot of very useful info but does not have the 28 cm lattice
for Tevatron; b) has the correct info for emittances but we need to
develop it more; c) has a lot of useful info but it is not publicly
linked right now.

[Action item]{.underline}: We will develop a bunch by bunch tool that
combines useful info from a), b) and c). It was asked that we provide
the info in excel format in addition to html or aida.

**12)** Linac/Booster:

We do not have much information from the Proton Source in the Supertable
and summary tables. Linac performance plots can be found in:
<http://linac.fnal.gov/> and Booster performance plots can be found in:

<http://www-ad.fnal.gov/proton/booster/booster.html>

In the Supertable we have only number of Booster turns, Booster bunches
and Booster intensity (related to the G:TURN15, G:BNCH15 and B:CHGB15
devices).

[Action items:]{.underline}

Two questions came up which we are exploring:

a)  Can we plot Booster mode lines and the Booster bunch length
    (B:BNCWHD) information from dataloggers. (Tim's array plotter and a
    program that Paul has should be able to do that)

b)  Do we need to add more info about emittance of proton bunches (from
    the Booster) in SDA?

**13)** S. Valishev store analysis

<http://www-bd.fnal.gov/SDAViewersServlets/valishev_sa_catalog.jsp>

[Action item:]{.underline}

Investigate if we can we have an OAC performing this analysis.

**14)** Main Injector:

[Action item:]{.underline} Investigate the possibility of datalogging on
a turn by turn basis Flying Wire and BPM data.
