WEIB01 Chasing Femtoseconds – How Accelerators Can Benefit from Economies of Scale in Other Industries 1973

  Building accelerators we frequently push the limits of what is possible in terms of performance. When trying to solve a very challenging engineering problem, we normally resort to specialization; we narrow our focus. This talk suggests a possible alternative path. Huge benefits and great results can be achieved by combining creative ideas and approaches with ideas and solutions borrowed from the economies of scale like telecommunications. The aim of the talk is to show possibilities for combining ideas, technologies and components from different industries into innovative products.

WEIB02 Towards Developing Accelerators in Half the Time 1978
 
  • D.G. Reinertsen
    Reinertsen & Associates, Redondo Beach, California, USA
 
  The talk challenges conventional wisdom about how to improve product development processes and broadens the concept of product development cycle time reduction techniques. It provides some original ideas; it discusses approaches to managing product architecture that are well suited for rapid development and how the engineering concepts of system architecture, queuing theory, feedback theory, and information theory can be applied to manage the product development management.

WEIB03 Emerging New Electronics Standards for Physics 1981

A unique effort is underway between industry and the international physics community to extend the Telecom industry’s Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA and MicroTCA) to meet future needs of the physics machine and detector community. New standard extensions for physics are being designed to deliver unprecedented performance and high subsystem availability for accelerator controls, instrumentation and data acquisition. A key feature is a unique out-of-band imbedded standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) system to manage hot-swap module replacement and hardware-software failover. An additional goal is to achieve a much higher degree of interoperability of both lab and industry designed hardware-software products than past generations of standards. This presentation will describe status of the hardware-software standards extension plans; technology advantages for machine controls and data acquisition systems; and examples of collaborative efforts to help develop an industry base of generic ATCA and MicroTCA products in an open-source environment.

WEIB04 Accelertor-based Mega-science Projects in China and Their Impact on Economy 1986

  Along with the rapid development of national economy in China, a number of accelerator based mega-science projects were constructed, such as the Beijing Electron-Positron Colliders (BEPC) and its major upgrade project (BEPCII), the Hefei Light Source (HLS), the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) and its Cooling Storage Rings (HIEFL-CSR), the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) and the Dragon-I induction linac. The Beijing Radioactive Ion Facility (BRIF) and the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) are under construction. In this paper, China’s accelerator projects are briefly reviewed and applications of accelerators are reported. The paper emphasizes spinoff of the accelerator technology developed during R&D and construction of the projects. Collaboration between academia and industry on the projects are described. With some examples, the benefits experienced in the laboratory-industry collaboration and approach of its economic impact are illustrated.

WEIB05 Collaborative R&D in the Industry of Science 1991
 
  • C. Oyon
    ESS, Lund, Sweden
 
  Successful collaborative efforts involve committed partners that have established comforting level of trust. When industry and research laboratories establish such collaborations they create unique ecosystems that have potential to deliver creative solutions. Many times, however, those collaborations face unexpected legal and administrative limitations. The aim of this talk is to identify key limitations and suggest potential solutions that can streamline collaborative projects.
