  1. RHICsome slides from the ops efficiency review Q3. What actions have been taken to optimize the accelerator operations efficiency over the past five years and what cost savings have been realized? Q4. What is the feasibility and impact of the proposed accelerator facility five year plan (FY 2008 - FY 2012) for optimizing operations efficiency and realizing additional cost savings? For RHIC: optimizing operations efficiency means maximizing Int(L)/$ for Au-Au and Int(LP4)/$ for p- p

  7. RHIC Cryogenic System Power Consumption Progress (Q3) • Carnot efficiency improved from 9% to 15% (JLab consulting) (saved 4 MW) • Further improvements underway

  8. Calendar time in store after setup (Q3) Goal 100h/week Rest of the time: ~ 17 % machine tuning/ramping ~ 11 % machine studies ~ 7 % maintenance and access ~ 15 % failures • Over last five years increased time in store from 25% (42 hrs/week) to 50% (85 hrs/week) • system reliability upgrades, automation

  9. Goals for RHIC Enhanced Design Performance (~2008*) (Q4) * First 250 GeV p-p physics run currently scheduled for 2009.

  10. Improving Time in Store (Q4) • 1) Cool-down and warm-up (now 1 ½ + ½ weeks, close to limit): • Increase of cooling capacity (AIP) • 2) Set-up/ramp-up time (now ~ 3 weeks / mode, limit ~ 2 weeks): • More automation and beam-based feed-back and use of stored archives • Already achieved 2 ½ weeks • 3) Tuning, refill and ramping (now ~ 17 %, limit ~ 12 % ): • Improved automation and reproducibility of RHIC and Injectors • EBIS replacement of Tandem (inconsistent performance of stripping foils) • Challenging to make much progress with short (4 hour) stores • 4) Machine development and accelerator physics experiment (now ~ 11 %, limit ~ 8 %): • Required to reach short and long term performance goals • 5) Maintenance and accesses (now ~ 7 %, limit ~ 4 % ): • Scheduled maintenance every 2 weeks is optimal • Strict maintenance planning and coordination to minimize turn-on problems • 6) Failures (now ~ 15 %, goal: “as low as possible” ): see next slide • Could gain about 1 week of physics with 1) and 2) and reach about 102 hrs/week (61 %) of time in store with 3) through 5). Additional benefit may come from failure reduction.

  11. Improving system reliability (Q4) Run-6 system failure analysis (analysis done every year) • Special focus for reliability improvements: • RHIC Power supplies: climate control of PS buildings • Controls: upgraded UPS and back-up systems • Access controls: Replace gate switches and access doors

  12. Beam-based tune and coupling feed-back (Q4) • High precision control of tune and coupling • All settings are recorded and can be played back on future ramps (feed-forward) • Stable operation in the presence of persistent current variations • Plan to implement chromaticity feed-back • uncertainties at beginning of FY) Peter Cameron, “Closed-loop technology speeds up beam control” CERN Courier, May 2006

  17. RHIC longitudinal stochastic cooling (Q4) • AIP in FY06/07: • to built a system for the Blue ring • upgrade the Yellow system • Stochastic cooling system is expected to reduce or stop heavy ion beam debunching, leading to: • 20-50% luminosity increase • smaller vertex region • experimental background reduction • reduced demands on gap cleaner
