Analysis Job description¶

I have written up a job description for analysis group and outlined how I think this should be divvied up. Logic is:

1. I want to understand what I am responsible for
2. We need to front load the analysis
   • We will only get one short go at data taking
     • Understand analysis in advance
     • Head off basic issues with getting the right data set
   • This will only happen if I allocate a WBS i.e. give people responsibility to decide what we want to do
     • at detailed level of e.g. what magnet currents
     • with analysis to support decisions (e.g. how do we reduce systematics etc)
   • Note a consequence is that the data plan will need modification
3. I would like to announce this structure at VC
   • I need people in place before christmas to coordinate these activities
   • Endorsement by MEMO today?
   • Endorsement by EB on Friday
   • Begin search for coordinators
     • This is what MICE is about, it should be easy (haha)

Notes:

• title is "made up" paper title, completely non-binding until we are really writing the paper
• the correspondence may not be one-to-one journal paper to "Measurement". Some may spawn more than one, some may get merged. It really depends on the results of the analysis.

Outcome of FF_2014-11-26

• ACTION (Pasternak/Rogers): determine magnetic settings routine - do we imagine "equivalent coil"? Implement iron in MAUS? Run everything through OPERA?
• ACTION (Pasternak/Rogers): determine standard magnetic settings for commissioning e.g. magnet currents for 420 mm beta in solenoid mode
• ACTION (Pasternak/Rogers): determine standard beamline settings
• ACTION (Dobbs/Rogers): specify MAUS implementation of "estimate of the error on the field as a function of position" in detail and implement
• ACTION (Someone): would like to know how well the bobbin on which the coils are wound is aligned to the SS bores
• ACTION (Rogers): arrange a "magnet bolting down meeting" to determine how Physics group does the handover of the magnet axes and how the installation will work
• ACTION (Rogers): Need to consider how we staff the "accelerator physics" during running
• ACTION (Rogers): Xboa specification document
• ACTION (Rogers): Bring in Dobbs MAUS analysis framework to xboa?
• ACTION (Rogers/delegate): need an accelerator physics helper for the analysis of existing batch simulations

Status of MDIC¶

• As per MICE note 452
• Reference looks to be preferred option following demonstration of 6D emittance reduction

Status of Step I Publications¶

• No update since CM40
