## Safety

**I’d like to emphasize right at the start that working safely, and more importantly, not having any injuries, is important to me. **
**Please take care, do not take unnecessary chances, ask for help or training when needed.**
**I think that together we can keep our workplaces safe and even improve them.**

## ILC and Future Programs Overview

**On December 1, 2006 CD was reorganized into 4 “quadrants” **
**“****quadrant” is used for lack of a better word. **
**Each quadrant is a set of departments and groups that have some common mission.**

**http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_quadrants_Star_Trek**

## ILC and Future Programs

**The name:**
**The ILC part is pretty obvious**
**“****Future Programs” is encompasses a variety:**
**We work on NOVA**
**We support Run 2 and the accelerator**
**We support CMS and are involved in CMS development**
**We manage PREP and equipment repair**
**Etc.**
**But the emphasis is on the future and enhanced capabilities.**

## IFP Mission Statement

**The ILC and Future Programs Quadrant of the Computing Division promotes ****and fully contributes to and collaborates on International Linear Collider (ILC) and future scientific programs at Fermilab by developing and providing innovative and excellent scientific, computing, engineering and technical skills and techniques. **

## How this relates to CD and the lab’s mission

**The Computing Division’s mission is to play a full part in the **_**[mission of the laboratory](http://www.fnal.gov/pub/about/whatis/mission.html)**__** and in particular to proudly develop, innovate, and support excellent and forefront computing solutions and services, recognizing the essential role of cooperation and respect in all interactions between ourselves and with the people and organizations that we work with and serve. **_

## How this relates to CD and the lab’s mission

**Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory advances the understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy by providing leadership and resources for qualified researchers to conduct basic research at the frontiers of high energy physics and related disciplines. **

## How this relates to CD and the lab’s mission

**The Fermilab Research Alliance (FRA) proposal has many details about the lab’s mission and plans:**
_**[http://fra-hq.org/about.html](http://fra-hq.org/about.html)**_
**They mention three major areas:**
**Energy Frontier**
**Neutrinos**
**Astrophysics**
**I don’t have time to go into great detail but it is safe to say that ILC and Future Programs is involved in all three major areas of the laboratory.**

## Short ILC Interlude: ILC news

**Preliminary reference design report (RDR) and cost was released last week.**
**Many people in CD and the lab worked on this and will work on test facilities, detector R&D, controls, the Engineering Design Report (EDR), etc.**

**Amber Boehnlein**

## ADS Mission Statement

**The mission of the Accelerator and Detector Simulation Department/FNAL CD is to take responsibility in national and international simulation projects for critical contributions by providing leadership, scientific knowledge and technical expertise to the FNAL ILC detector design teams, in the accelerator modeling community, the CMS LHC Physics Center and as members of the Geant4 collaboration.  Our significant skills in C++ and other programming languages provides, advances and improves code bases used for simulation and other endeavors.**
**We contribute to the on-going scientific programs of the laboratory including CMS and Run II and the FNAL neutrino program by providing support and expertise to those communities by providing a library of certified generated events, as well as participating directly in physics analysis.**
