In 2011 FNAL began a transition from a multi-program colliding beams facility to a multi-program fix target facility with an emphasis on Neutrino and Muon physics. This transition is now complete...how has it affected the laboratory, and the operations department? What's in store for the future? This is "How We Do Business" now.
An electron-positron energy-asymmetric collider, SuperKEKB, is under commissioning. This project is expected to be able to elucidate the flavor physics of elementary particles with 40-fold improved luminosity compared with the previous project, KEKB. Several operational shifts are organized for individual responsibilities for beam operation, safety, or machine domains. Not only a dedicated...
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) aims to provide an accelerator-based, D-Li neutron source to produce high energy neutrons at sufficient intensity and irradiation volume for DEMO materials qualification. The IFMIF/EVEDA project, which is part of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and EURATOM, has the mission to work on the engineering design of...
Defining effective organizational structure for research labs is a contextually challenging issue in the field of systems engineering. Maintaining a balance between subsystem autonomy and system cohesion has proven difficult to achieve throughout R&D industry. Multiple system perspectives are always present across divisions and project based funding contributes to competing priorities. ...
