Operations-Related Tasks

    Administering Configuration Control Policy

  • Define configuration parameters
    • Implement tagging and identification of components: labyrinths, beam transport, and all components that are part of the Radiation Shielding System (RSS).
    • Post a list of RSS devices in the display case, known as the Configuration Control Component List (CCCL).
  • Understand CCWP Procedure
    • Accept CCWP requests
    • Understand the conditions of the work permit.
    • Verify the approval authority required.
    • Follow up on work being done.
    • Close out the CCWP.
    • Give APS enable.


APS Enable

  • Evaluate and approve beamline readiness.
  • Initiate APS Enable allowing beam into the beamline.

Postings

  • Understand the posting requirements and responsibilities for a beamline:  CAA, ESAF, Shutter Authorization (green sheet), Administrative restriction (pink sheet), Ray tracings, RSS devices list.
  • Enter correct date/time data for the start/end of experiments, especially proprietary experiments, in the online ESAF entry form.
  • Global On Line

  • Putting a beamline Global On Line
    • Understand Global On Line/Off Line Procedure
    • Approvals:  PSS system manager, ACIS system manager, Floor Coordinator
    • Notify control room of actions taken
  • Taking a Beamline Off Line
    • Understand Global On Line/Off Line Procedure
    • Approvals:  Floor Coordinator
    • Notify control room of actions taken
    •  

    Shielding Verifications

  • Set up beam scatter devices, ozone equipment, and flight tubes.
  • Measure beamstops using Ray Trace information.
  • Assist in arranging for BCRRT, Beamline Commissioning Readiness Review.
  • Prepare beamline configuration controls:  Configuration Control Components List (CCCL), tagging, etc.
  • Post commissioning documents, Commissioning Activity Approval (CAA) form.
  • Assist Configuration Control System Manager (CCSM), Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), and Health Physics (HP):  participation and oversight.
  • Help to set up verification hardware and equipment.

  • Administer APS Enable.

Mode Changes

Switch beam type between white, pink, and monochromatic.

    Trouble Reports

  • File trouble report for recurring or unusual faults, or any faults that require investigation.
  • Follow up on actions related to the trouble report.
  • Calls to users and support personnel

  • Know and understand which users need to be called for each situation.
  • Know when and how to call support personnel, HP system specialists, and emergency personnel.

    Beamline Steering Requests
