WAO2023 International Workshop on Accelerator Operations

The presentation will describe how ISIS neutron and muon source is operated: Layout of accelerator, operation hours/year, structure of operation team, number of operators, shift Schedule, control room layout/occupation, describe the on-call system.

TRIUMF currently has four operations groups spread across our site and between them we run 5 cyclotrons, 4 linear accelerators, 2 target stations and an offline ion source. The Driver Control Room operates the 520 MeV Cyclotron and an electron linear accelerator. The Applied Technology Group operates three compact cyclotrons—two TR30s and the CP42—for commercial production of medical isotopes....

"The European Spallation Source is in the finishing stages of the construction, with large portions of the project being either in the commissioning phase or already in the operational one. This new situation also presents us with new challenges, in particular in the work coordination between the installation of components, the commissioning of parts of the Accelerator and Target, and...

"During the twice annual extended maintenance periods operators at the Canadian Light Source are able to get together as an entire team and spend a few days together in what we refer to as a retreat. These retreats are currently a 5-day collection of activities that encompass training, presentations, team building, and opportunities to talk with operators at other facilities. The retreats are...

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University started operations as a user facility in 2022. The FRIB accelerator is a 400 kW superconducting linear accelerator which can accelerate stable ions up to uranium to energies of at least 200 MeV/u. Rare isotope beams are produced in a graphite target and magnetically separated in the ARIS fragment separator. The facility is...

At KEK, the proton accelerator complex in Tokai campus and the lepton accelerator complex in Tsukuba campus are continuously operated for several months except the scheduled maintenance days and the machine troubles. The lepton accelerator complex comprises two light sources, two collider rings, a positron damping ring, and an elec-tron/positron injector linac. The five lepton accelerator...
