## ILC Controls Planning

- September 20, 2005

## Snowmass Fact Finding

- Look for accelerator (ie, not detector) projects in which CD could contribute
- Global groups efforts seemed most appropriate (not to be confused with working groups)
- GG1: Parameters
- GG2: Instrumentation and Controls
- GG3: Operations and Availability
- GG4: Civil & Siting
- GG5: Cost and Engineering
- standards
- GG6: Options
- Some overlap between GG2 other groups
- Machine Protection System (MPS)
- LLRF Timing Distribution
- Because GG only met in late afternoon, didn’t really identify interested parties until the end of the week.

## GG2 

- Near term goals
- Contribute the instrumentation and controls write-up to the overall ILC Baseline Design Report at the end of December
- This won’t be the final design. Change control will be taking place
- Cost the beast in FY06.
- Created in the summer.
- Not as far advanced as many of the other workgroups in terms of research plan as well as organization

## People

- Conveners: Marc Ross (Slac), Hans Braun (Cern), Junji Urakawa (KEK)
- Organizations who have expressed interest and are in communication:
- SLAC – much experience and background information from NLC work
- Argonne – advanced photon source
- Fermilab – assembling interest. Very scattered.
- CD – Patty, Vince, Margaret, Luciano?, Ron?, Gustavo? (busy with SMTF)
- AD – Manfred Wendt (BPMs), Jim Patrick, Bob Webber?
- PPD – Geoff Savage
- Desy - Hera
- More are welcome

## This week

- ILC Indrustrial Forum contains a GG2 component.
- Well, not really. Only a couple of vendors with GG2 interests have registered.
- GG2 people will be here
- SLAC: Marc Ross, Ray Larsen
- Argonne: John Carwardine, among others
- Parallel meetings
- Remaining 2005 plans and FY2006 R&D efforts: Wed 4:00 Small Dining Room
- High Availability: Thursday 9:00 TBA
