12th Workshop on Accelerator Operations

The pandemic has shifted the workforce around the world. With a relatively new operator group at the CLS, our group will present how we dealt with the pandemic right from the start. We will explain our situation involving the facility, working with staff and other important situations that have fallen on us during this time and how we adapted to rapid change that better prepared us for the future of the CLS Operator group. Some important situations included planned and unplanned power outages and the prolonged damaged it had caused on equipment in the facility, an outbreak of COVID-19 with facility staff as well as our mental wellbeing during a period of absolute uncertainty.
