Ralph Pasquinelli Fermilab Marc Ross SLAC
2

• Charge of surveying RD requirements for new
  machines
• Machines surveyed
• ee- colliders
• Muon Neutrino Source
• NLC
• Proton Driver
• TESLA
• VLHC

3

• Common diagnostic requirements
• Beam parameter lists orders of magnitude more
  demanding than current machines
• Kilometers of beam lines to monitor
• Beam energies capable of vaporizing hardware
• Personnel, environment, and hardware protection

4

• Reliability
• Thousands of channels to monitor and control
• NASA style quality engineering?
• Severe consequences to beam losses
• Can HEP assign to high reliability

5

• Diagnostic Installation
• Radiation environments are similar in all
  machines
• Machine designs do not put diagnostics at the
  forefront of RD
• Complexity, should implement KISS
• Data collection, feedback loops, bandwidth

6

• Commissioning
• Need plans up front
• Dynamic Range issues

7

• Focus of RD
• Most and resources relegated to magnets,
  structures, RF,
• Diagnostics should receive stronger support up
  front
• Time saved in commissioning and operations is
• Abandon the cowboy approach to commissioning
• Prototyping and cooperation
