Costs to build Fermilab in 1984 dollars

Description: It is of current interest to examine the costs incurred to date to build Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and to determine what those costs are when stated in FY 1984 constant dollars. The appended tables are in support of this exercise and are based on all costs for Equipment items (reduced by obsolescence) and all Plant Projects which have been appropriated through FY 1984. Also included are non-plant costs which are required to complete the Energy Saver, Tevatron I and II projects (i.e.… more

A new main control room for the AGS complex

Description: A new Main Control Room (MCR) has been built to control the accelerators of the AGS Complex. A new physical environment was produced to better control light, sound, temperature, and traffic. New control consoles were built around the work-stations that make up the distributed control system. Equipment placement within consoles and console placement within the room reflect attention to the human factors'' needs of the operator. 1 ref., 2 figs.

Multiple gas analyzer sample test points

Description: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is now beginning to depend upon dedicated gas analyzers in their collider and large fixed target experiment areas. In the past one or two gas samples were taken and sent off to Argonne National Laboratory for gas analysis, for even a basic check of ratios for Ar (Argon) C{sub 2}H{sub 6} (Ethane) 50/50% mixtures. This paper discusses the measuring techniques.

Spool piece aperture: warm to cold temperature position changes

Description: In an effort to determine the position of the correction coil system contained in the spool piece in operation, a series of experiments were done in Lab 2 during the cryogenic testing of the spools. A special turn-around box was constructed which had a window through which a sighting could be made of the aperture of the coil packages. A set of four survey monuments were constructed with three point suspension, which were back-lighted by placing a small bulb behind each target which could be tur… more

Upgrading the Fermilab Linac local control system

Description: A new control system for the Fermilab Linac is being designed, built and implemented. First, the nine-year-old linac control system is being replaced. Second, a control system for the new 805 MHz part of the linac is being built. The two systems are essentially identical, so that when the installations are complete, we will still have a single Linac Control System. 8 refs., 5 figs.

Pressure measurements in the AGS Booster ultra-high vacuum system

Description: An average pressure of mid 10{sup {minus}11} Torr has been achieved and maintained in the AGS Booster ring vacuum system during its first year of operation. This ultra-high vacuum system is monitored through remote controlled Bayard-Alpert Gauges (BAGs). The characteristics of the pressure measurements with BAGs over the long cable lengths (up to 200 m) and under various accelerator operating conditions will be described. Two types of noise in the pressure readouts have been identified; the ele… more

Distribution of computer functionality for accelerator control at the Brookhaven AGS

Description: A set of physical and functional system components and their interconnection protocols have been established for all controls work at the AGS. Portions of these designs were tested as part of enhanced operation of the AGS as a source of polarized protons and additional segments will be implemented during the continuing construction efforts which are adding heavy ion capability to our facility. Included in our efforts are the following computer and control system elements: a broad band local are… more

Phase II beam lines at the National Synchrotron Light Source

Description: The expansion of the National Synchrotron Light Source has been funded by the US Department of Energy. The Phase II program consists of both increased conventional facilities and six new beam lines. In this paper, an overview of the six beam lines which will be constructed during Phase II is presented. For five of the lines special radiation sources are necessary and the designs of four of the devices are complete. The relevant parameters of the insertion devices under construction and developm… more

The evolution of cryogenic safety at Fermilab

Description: Over the past twenty-five years, Fermilab has been involved in cryogenic technology as it relates to pursuing experimentation in high energy physics. The Laboratory has instituted a strong cryogenic safety program and has maintained a very positive safety record. The solid commitment of management and the cryogenic community to incorporating safety into the system life cycle has led to policies that set requirements and help establish consistency for the purchase and installation of equipment a… more

pp collider construction scenario

Description: In order to bring the Fermilab proton-proton colliding-beam facility into operation at the earliest possible time, close coordination between the various aspects of the construction is essential. A possible scenario for how the installation might proceed is presented, and some important consequences for planning in the immediate future are discussed. Some important conclusions which can be drawn from the scenario are presented.

The design and manufacture of the Fermilab Main Injector Dipole Magnet

Description: Fermilab's new Main Injector Ring (MIR) will replace the currently operating Main Ring to provide 150 GeV Proton and Antiproton beams for Tevetron injection, and rapid cycling, high intensity, 120 GeV Proton beams for Antiproton production. To produce and maintain the required high beam quality, high intensity, and high repetition rate, conventional dipole magnets with laminated iron core and water cooled copper conductor were chosen as the bending magnet. A new magnet design having low inducta… more

The development of controls for pulse-to-pulse modulation at the Brookhaven AGS complex

Description: Operation of the AGS Complex, comprising a 200 MeV Linac, the 1.5 GeV Booster (400 MeV/amu heavy ions) which is under construction, and the AGS, requires service of multiple uses with different beam requirements. Local Linac users, Booster commissioning with protons and heavy ions, and the AGS physics program and accelerator studies must run concurrently in various combinations. A new timing system is being built which will distribute serially encoded events derived from real-time and magnetic … more

Distributed control system for the National Synchrotron Light Source

Description: Until recently, accelerator and similar control systems have used modular interface hardware such as CAMAC or DATACON which translated digital computer commands transmitted over some data link into hardware device status and monitoring variables. Such modules possessed little more than local buffering capability in the processing of commands and data. The advent of the micro-processor has made available low cost small computers of significant computational capability. This paper describes how m… more

Refurbishment of the vacuum system of the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron

Description: Three years ago a program was initiated at Brookhaven National Laboratory to upgrade the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) vacuum system. The three objectives of this work were to: (1) improve the vacuum system reliability; (2) improve its maintainability; and (3) improve its operating pressure from the present 2-3 /times/ 10/sup /minus/7/ Torr to < 10/sup /minus/8/ Torr. This paper discusses how these objectives can be met. 9 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
