AAC at Fermilab
The Accerator Advisory Committee has been convened from the 28th to the 30th of July 2010 at Fermilab
One of the goals has been to review the proposed experiments for the post-Run II studies
Proposals were put forward by the Tevatron, BNL & CERN

Recommendations
Prioritize experiments taking into account effort, benefit, academic interest, relevance for existing problems
Need commitment of management to allocate time on experiments, thus need to iterate of program planning with management
TEVATRON end of run-II or end of store should start to be coordinated and organized starting now and a coordinator should be designated.
Experiments should be formally proposed with well defined goals. 
A formal process should (which does not have to be very elaborate) be put in place to approve proposed experiments.
Experiments should be worked out well in advance with clear goals, simulations, clear understanding of needed instrumentation of hardware and needed time,
Each topic should have an FNAL liaision to assure feasibility and adequate preparation
Completed experiments should be evaluated and results should be captured in a written report if not a publication. This should be a condition for approval.

Consequence & Plan
Together with the Tevatron experts we have defined the CERN/FERMILAB teams for the 8 first CERN experiments.
It was felt that the last 2 were not quite doable at the Tevatron.
Of course it all depends on whether the RUN II will be prolonged or not.
In any event the collimation experiments will go ahead. There is a strong self-interest between the Tevatron colleagues to do these experiments in a parasitic manner.

Run-11
Recommendation of Program Advisory Committee (June 21-22, 2010):

Trip reports and BB software
Wolfram Fischer 10

11. Trip reports and BB software
Summary
Run-11: 250 GeV polarized protons goals P = 35  50% b* = 0.7  0.6 m Nb = 1.1  1.4x1011
Run-11: 100 GeV/nucleon goals b* = 0.75  0.65 m Nb = 1.1  1.1x more cooling
To allow for lower b* need to implement reliable optics measurement and correction

12. Further polarized beam upgrades
Polarized source upgrade 10x intensity, ~5% more polarization (2013)
Electron lenses up to 2x luminosity with source upgrade (2013)
In-situ pipe coating SEY and r reduction (start >2013)

New Developments
RHIC Orbit, Tune, Coupling, and Chromaticity Feedback
RUN-10: Tune and coupling feedback fully operational
First proof-of-principle of simultaneous:
Tune, coupling, and chromaticity feedback
Orbit, tune, and coupling feedback
Simultaneous feedback on all 4
Pictures at right are during the first execution in RUN-10
RUN-11: Goals: Fully operational 4-way simultaneous feedback
Orbit feedback during the store
Modifications to BPM and Orbit managers: (Al Marusic)
Merge BpmManager and OrbitManager
- Reduce load on FECs, resulting in fewer data gaps
Start using orbit correction library in RhicOrbitDisplay
- Integrate existing orbit tools & features into the Controls system.
Exception handling for non-converging orbit corrections (due to machine
optical errors).
Additional supporting efforts: (Al Marusic)
Reduce CPU usage by modifying loggers to use new fast networking services.
- Employ new network features including more efficient and faster paths.
Retire multiple loggers, replace with LogView display files
- Carefully clean up redundant logging, employ master loggers.
Ensure that existing stone-orbit correction select proper saved orbits.
-Time stamping or data retrieval problems could allow import of bad data.

Strong interest in the LHC Online Model
Massive Tracking planned with BOINC for e-lens tracking. This element has been included by BNL and Eric McIntosh has prepared the SixTrack run environment  could be of use for LHC upgrade?
6D element in Sixtrack has been tested, apparently weaker than expected???
Plan is to benchmark all BB codes of the 3 Labs: CERN, FERMILAB & BNL
 To this end extended studies planned for beginning of next year.

15. LHC Upgrade Requirements
For the LHC upgrade more severe parameters and/or new techniques might be required.
One option is to use flat instead of round beams.
It also seems that the crossing angle will be larger than for the nominal LHC version.
Both requires to use SixTrack differently than before:
Presently SixTrack has been set up to make use of the LHC anti-symmetry to calculate BB for round beams  a true flat option makes code modifications necessary.
The larger crossing angle raises the question if the plain 4D BB description is still adequate.  SixTrack has the 6D BB lens implemented à la Ripken.

Flat Beams in SixTrack
Emanuele has implemented a first version of flat beams by passing the sigma values to SixTrack via a file produced by MAD.
This is a good approximation but a small issue remains in case of strong coupling.
Eventually this will require to implement the BB force in the MAD-X PTC converter. This will be done in the future but will require extensive testing.
Nevertheless the present solution seems to be sufficient for the case of the LHC upgrade.
Once the benchmarking is finished and its usage is documented we are ready for the upgrade.

6D BB lens in SixTrack
Some 10 years ago Gerhard Ripken visited us and had derived a formalism of the 6D BB lens including coupling. This is an extension of the original work by Hirata.
Peter Leunissen implemented this 6D lens into SixTrack.
Besides basic tests it has not been benchmarked nor used extensively.
Since the needs arises now, the code will be reviewed and benchmarked with external codes.
