Lattice Information Service for the RHIC Project
- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
The accelerator physics group has put in place a computer information service derived in the main from the lattice design data stored in the CCD Sybase relational database management system (rDBMS). For example, the lattice described in the database "rhic92r0p3" corresponds to revision 0.3 of the RHIC 92 lattice, as tracked through CCB protocols. These primary data describing the beam related aspects of the machine which, in principle, we are building are stored in database tables tuned to the needs of the beamline designers and the codes that they use. Translation to the needs of users in other parts of the RHIC project is not immediately evident, although the data are one of the prime sources driving the machine construction. Accordingly, we wish to provide data and access mechanisms suited to the different parts of the project. We have started by building data files and database tables containing surveying information, CAD drawing instructions, beam parameters and so on. Our aim is to provide access to these data and to guarantee that they reflect the best knowledge of the detailed machine definition at any given time - a definition that is reasonable to base construction decisions on. Because what data and tools are available will be changing we wish to encourage computer access rather than paper communication. For those who have no desire to become computer gurus, we will try to provide advice and utilities.
