Intensity Development

1
Intensity Development MECO

• Performance Predictions/Limitations based on
  History and present plan (6Jan05 ahrens)

2
Summary

• Predict intensity and losses from history based
  model
• Apply ALARA constraints
• Calculate resulting throughput
• Evolve the machine and iterate -gt new throughput
• Gives a prediction of potential gains where it
  is useful to look for improvement

3
Model

• Model based on intensity measurements taken over
  the last decade (C-A/AP/86 10/02 Zeno)
• Realistic with modest intensity
• Optimistic at highest intensities linear
  transfer function, no high intensity roll off
• Performance beyond the model requires new ideas
  and development time

Evolution

• Historic machine
• AGS injection improvements (MECO)
• Booster acceleration loss control (ALARA)
• Booster injection loss control (ALARA)
• Booster acceleration eff (no ALARA)
• everything
