Description
A Monte Carlo model of Tevatron operations has been constructed to help us determine the optimal manner to run the Complex.
This model includes randomizations on essentially all processes, including transmission efficiencies, emittances, beam intensities, luminosities, injector performance, antiproton collection issues and downtime. Analytical formulations are used, but phenomenological considerations are paramount.
Shot Data Acquisition (SDA) provides data that connects the model to reality. Present performance is presented and future performance is predicted, along with many interesting things we have learned along the way.
