The continuous electron beam accelerator facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab (JLAB) hosts unique and specialized experiments simultaneous with routine experiments in other end-stations. These unique experiments often have specialized beam requirements, new beamline configurations including diagnostic devices, and well defined commissioning periods. Each experiment's needs are different, so the Jefferson Lab Operations Group assigns an Experiment Liaison, a single crew chief or operator who works directly with experiment representatives during planning, commissioning and installation. This poster shows how the Experiment Liaison plays a key role in planning the beam instrumentation requirements, drafting experiment-specific setup procedures, and training Operations staff before the first beam is ever delivered to the experiment.
