Fermilab timeline generation system
In this paper the technique used to control the relative timing and synchronization of the major accelerator systems at Fermilab is described. The various operating modes of the injector accelerators include fixed target and colliding beam operation in conjunction with simultaneous machine studies. For example, in a 60 second interval the conventional main Ring may be called upon to: (a) load the Tevatron with 12 high intensity Booster batches each containing 82 rf bunches at 150 GeV, (b) transfer a Booster batch at 8 GeV with 8 rf bunches to the Debuncher or Accumulator, (c) accelerate high intensity beam several times to 120 GeV for antiproton production, and (d) accelerate beam to 150 GeV for Main Ring studies. In the case of colliding beam operation, the different tasks can be even more varied. All this requires a simple, flexible means of coordination.
