Summary of Discussions Beam Instrumentation Folks

Rhodri Jones & Lars Jensen• Satisfied with Schottky work• Proposed a new Daemon/GUI project for bunch-by-

bunch measurement and display– Details coming…

BE/CO/Applications Folks Katarina and Stephane

• They strongly acknowledge the good work that the LAFS team has provided and can provide

– RBAC– Daemon Infrastructure– Operations Applications

• Propose a new project to help with InCA (Injector Controls Architecture) and LSA database configurations.

– Details coming…20 April 2010

LAFS 5

Department Heads Eugenia (BE/CO)

Will initiate the creation of a new M.O.U. for our bosses (Paul Collier and Roger Dixon)

Mike (BE/OP) Described the week’s work, and

the status of LAFS They said

Words of encouragementWould like to see more contributions

Status of Existing WorkSupertable

Wire Scanner AppSchottky Suite

BSRT (Synchrotron Light) App

LAFS 7

Supertable Taken over by BE/CO (Mario

Pereira) Prototype is working

http://cern.ch/test-supertable Not online: Need work from DM

20 April 2010

LAFS 8

Wire Scanner Bunch-by-bunch capabilities fully

integrated Listened to lots of criticism/suggestions for

improvement.

Schottky Suite Daemon and GUI Only bunch-by-bunch device

active!Well, there’s the Fast BCT, too.BSRT is almost there.

Synchrotron Light Unclear future for LAFS They proposed that we write a

DaemonStarted in early FebruaryWas not accepted (late February)

Talk of having a new GUI createdNot good

Terri and I are paying attention!

20 April 2010

ProposalsBI: Bunch data displayCO/AP: LSA Config GUIs

LAFS 18

Project Proposal: BI Bunch GUI A new BI GUI

Imagined by Rhodri, Lars and Jean-Jacques Gras Basics:

Gather bunch-by-bunch info from all BI devices that do bunch-by-bunch

• Schottky (Daemon)• Fast BCT• BSRT (soon)

Concentrated in one place • a Daemon

Republish in coherent manner Create a GUI

• Configure the Daemon• Allow easy access to all bunch-by-bunch data

Proposal letter (pre-requirements) coming Audience: LAFS team, BI group, P. Collier and R. Dixon.

20 April 2010

LAFS 19

Proposal: LSA DB Config GUIs Katarina and Stephane Need a simpler way to configure the

LSA device database LSA Database being pushed into injector

Have existing tools, but must be replaced Configure front ends directly, through a non-standard

interface But easy for PS-Complex operators to use

LHC/SPS Situation? Only Extreme experts can configure Requires raw SQL (through Benthic)

20 April 2010

LAFS 20

LSA DB Config GUIs, cont’d A limited number of GUIs are required

Less than ten? But we would develop the pattern for making more

Stephane will write a proposal letter Target: LAFS team, E. Hatziangeli, M. Lamont, P. Collier and

R. Dixon. Proposed team:

Deghaye would be the liaison Katarina and Mike would designate a “customer” LAFS team will decide on a work group

20 April 2010

LAFS 21

Proposals: Next steps? Awaiting these documents

Jones (Bunch data concentrator and GUI) Stephane (LSA Configuration GUIs) Eugenia (M.O.U. proposal)

Analyze LAFS work force Now: 1.x FTE (Jerry and me), plus Terri. Can we increase that number?

• Are *YOU* interested in these new projects???

Personnel Liaison

Terri returns to SLAC soon• Officially: May 31• Would like to extend

We have requested for Suzanne to be at CERN starting in October• Support from Prebys and Dixon• Official approval is pending

Elliott and Jerry C.: ~full time
