WAO'18: Workshop on Accelerator Operations

Motivation

The 11th Workshop on Accelerator Operations (WAO) will take place on Long Island in Stony Brook, New York, USA, from September 30 to October 5, 2018. WAO 2018 is hosted by the RHIC and NSLS-II facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The objective of the workshop is to create an open forum for those involved in daily accelerator operation to present, discuss, and exchange ideas with their peers from around the world. Operators from facilities of all sizes gather to collaborate on topics such as accelerator operation, performance, organization, maintenance, documentation, software, control room layout, remote operation, and safety. It also serves the accelerator operations community as a means to establish benchmarks by facilitating comparisons of methods, efficiencies, costs, reliability, beam quality and other performance measures.

The workshop style atmosphere is organized with scheduled talks, a poster session, and discussion periods; along with the opportunity for further discussion at breaks and meals, it allows for interpersonal communications not commonly found at conferences.
