## FY08 Tactical Plan for ILCTA Controls

- Relevant Strategic Plan(s):
- FY08 Tactical Plan for ILCTA Controls [2240]
- Strategic Plan for DAQ (_[2217](https://cd-docdb.fnal.gov:440/cgi-bin/ShowDocument?docid=2217)_)
- Strategic Plan for Linear Collider (2214)
- FY08 Tactical Plan Status Report for DAQ and Controls (2694)
- FY07 Tactical Plan Status Report for Engineering Support (2716)
- Tactical Plan Leader: Margaret Votava
- Organizational ILC/DAC
- Tactical Plan Goals
- Lead and contribute to the ILCTA controls group efforts to provide a controls framework and device interfaces for the SCRF R&D  program. This is primarily focused on the ILC cavity R&D program at FNAL and the most substantial effort will be for the cryomodule testing facility at  NML (New Muon Lab) running with ILC beam like parameters.
- Provide integrations and infrastructure expertise to other ILCTA R&D areas in particular  instrumentation (BPM – Beam Position Monitors) and LLRF (Low Level RF).
- Collaborate with data management effort into bringing a cavity database into fruition

## NOTES: (not part of the template)

- Software efforts were terminated at the beginning of January (3 months) with the exception of some small support by Ron in early spring for BPM testing at ATF (KEK)
- Hardware efforts reflect effort through the end of January.
- M&S was all under project 18, including travel
- Margaret’s effort in ILC L3 management was reported by Jerry
- Is Bakul’s effort accurately being reflected here?
- Are Connie and Troy’s effort accurately being reflected here?

## Project Activity: ILCTA Controls

- Original Goals Related to this Activity [from Tactical Plan]
- 1. Goal 1
- ILCTA Controls Leadership and Development
- 2. Goal 2
- Provide integration and infrastructure expertise to instrumentation]
- 3. Goal 3
- Collaborate with data management project

- Adjusted Goals Related to this Activity [given FY08 Budget adjustments]
- 1. Goal 1
- Halted
- 2. Goal 2
- Halted
- 3. Goal 3
- Halted

**Key Milestones**
- We made work assignments to the NML requirements document and were starting to  work out details.
- We had completed v1_0 of the project plan for the test areas and were starting to chart progress.
- We had participated in several trips to DESY and KEK solving some integration and data collection problems with BPMS (instrumentation).
- ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) Crate was brought up (controller swapped because of infant mortality) and shelf management software being tested.
- System administration was handed off from developers to CD admins.
- Completed readout of several key devices in DOOCS including new fireware cameras.
**Issues and Risks (specific to this activity, includes budget impact)**
- Loss of CD involvement in controls efforts means projectX will most likely not include EPICS or DOOCS

## Tactical Plan Issues and Risks

- Issues and Risks (+ impact of FY08 DOE/FNAL budget)
- List here if impacts entire Tactical Plan
- Entire project suspended
- FY09/FY10 Budget is being planned at a much restricted effort (for Controls) even with budget restoration.
- No funding for FNAL for controls work: will all be concentrated on LLRF
- List here if serious consequences for CD and stakeholders
- FY09/FY10 Budget is being planned at a much restricted effort even with budget restoration across the US. No funding for FNAL for controls work: will all be concentrated on LLRF.
- US credibility is severely compromised. Will be difficult to reassemble team if funding becomes available. Controls effort was always imagined to be managed by the hosting country. Is US even a viable candidate now?
- Cannot participate in EDR (Engineering Design Report). Exit strategy for Controls L3 involvement.
- Lost opportunity for ATCA development experience.
