## LHC@FNAL - LARP

**Introduction to LARP**
**LARP needs for Remote Access**
**LHC@FNAL plans**

## LHC@FNAL - LARP

_**LARP Mission Statement**_
- 	The US LHC Accelerator Research Program enables U.S. accelerator specialists to take an active and important role in the LHC accelerator during its commissioning and operations, and to be a major collaborator in LHC performance upgrades. In particular, LARP will support U.S. institutions in LHC commissioning activities and accelerator science, accelerator instrumentation and diagnostics, and superconducting magnet R&D to help bring the LHC on and up to luminosity quickly, to help establish robust operation, and to improve and upgrade LHC performance. Furthermore, the work we do will be at the technological frontier and will thereby improve the capabilities of the U.S. accelerator community in accelerator science and technology to more effectively operate our domestic accelerators and to position the U.S. to be able to lead in the development of the next generation of high-energy colliders.

## LHC@FNAL - LARP

_**LARP GOALS**_
**Advance International Cooperation in High Energy Accelerators**** **
**Advance High Energy Physics **
** ****Help bring the LHC on and up to design performance quickly **
** ****Improve LHC performance by advances in accelerator understanding and instrumentation **
** ****Use LHC as a tool to gain deeper knowledge of accelerator science and technology **
** ****Extend LHC as a frontier HEP instrument with a timely luminosity upgrade**
**Advance U.S. Accelerator Science and Technology**** **
** ****Keep skills sharp by helping to commission the LHC **
** ****Conduct forefront Accelerator Physics research and development **
** ****Advance U.S. capabilities to improve the performance of our own machines **
** ****Prepare U.S. scientists to design next generation colliders **
** ****Develop technologies necessary for next generation colliders**

## LHC@FNAL - LARP/LHC Requirements

**Four broad categories of Requirements – requirements scale up as scope of activity changes**
**Overarching (defined as ‘to extend over or throughout’)**
** ****Confidentiality**
** ****Space**
**Hardware Commissioning**
** ****Access to data as U.S. hardware – magnets and instrumentation - is installed and commissioned**
** ****Link to Field Control rooms in LHC tunnel**
**Beam Commissioning**
** ****More activity in CCC**
** ****Software development**
** ****Sector test **
** ****First beam**
**Post-LHC commissioning activities**
** ****Support of LARP deliverables**
** ****Beam studies**
** ****LHC upgrades**

## LHC@FNAL – LARP/LHC needs

**CCC**

- Model the CCC at CERN
-  speed assimilation prior to stays at CERN
-  ease in remote participation in studies
-  ‘service after the sale’
