  High reliability is a very important goal for third generation light sources. Very often the beam availability is used as the operation metrics to measure the reliability of the accelerator. A survey at several light sources revealed that the calculation of this statistics varies significantly between facilities. This prevents a useful comparison of their reliabilities. The authors propose a specific metrics for the reliability of third generation light sources; a metrics that will allow a detailed and meaningful comparison of these particle accelerators.

  A high reliability is a very important goal for most particle accelerators. The biennial Accelerator Reliability Workshop covers topics related to the design and operation of particle accelerators with a high reliability. In order to optimize the over-all reliability of an accelerator one needs to gather information on the reliability of many different subsystems. While a biennial workshop can serve as a platform for the exchange of such information, the authors aimed to provide a further channel to allow for a more timely communication: the Particle Accelerator Reliability Forum (http://reliability.forumotion.com). This contribution will describe the forum and advertise it's usage in the community.

THPRI024 Finding Your Happy-User-Index 3816

  Reliability is defined as the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time. If we are talking about accelerator reliability then we have to know what the required functions are. Many accelerator facilities restrict their analysis to the beam availability: how reliable is beam provided to the users? We will show that this metrics is often not fully adequate. Specific metrics can be much more useful to allow you to optimize your facility to the needs of your users. The three accelerator user facilities at PSI will serve as examples for these happy-user-indexes.

THPRI025 Accelerator Reliability Reporting at the Swiss Light Source 3819
 
  • A. Lüdeke

  Third generation light sources do aim for a very high reliability of the accelerator. This contribution describes the reliability reporting of the Swiss Light Source at the Paul Scherrer Institut, as it has been performed in the past decade. We will highlight the importance of a formal reporting on the accelerator reliability to support the long term optimization of the reliability of an accelerator facility.

THPRI026 A Review on Accelerator Operator Training 3822

  Operators of accelerator facilities have to be trained in order to safely operate their machines. While the amount of training varies between the different types of accelerators, many best-practices could be applied to the training of operators for a variety of different facilities. The aim of our study is to survey the best-practices for operator training for a larger number of accelerator facilities. The results may provide useful insights to advance the training-plans for operators of particle accelerators.
