Colleagues:<br>
When we reviewed the issues with beam delivery in Jan/Feb of
this<br>
year, the need for a strong/deep Injector Support Group was<br>
identified and turned into an action item. I am pleased to<br>
announce the official formation of this group (Injector Design
<br>
and Support Group) within the Operations <br>
Department. The group will consist of, Reza Kazimi (Group<br>
Leader), Alicia Hofler, Yan Wang. In addition these
individuals, Curt<br>
Hovater will be matrixed to this group to support project<br>
management of the injector upgrade and any other projects owned<br>
by this group. <br>
<br>
The Injector Group will be responsible for supporting Injector<br>
operations and for bringing to completion the ongoing Injector<br>
Upgrade effort. The injector upgrade is a large effort which
will make <br>
the CEBAF injector 12GeV compatible as well as making
substantial<br>
improvements to ease of establishing parity quality<br>
beam. These projects are expected to continue for the next<br>
several years and include upgrading the injector energy to<br>
125MeV, a new quarter cryomodule, optimizing the arrangement of<br>
the warm RF section and optimizing the injector for a 200keV
gun.<br>
<br>
In addition, to this change, the Analysis High Application
Group<br>
leader will now be Michele Joyce (replacing me). Michele has<br>
been the de facto group leader for a while now as my other<br>
responsibilities have consumed me. This is not meant to
minimize<br>
this transition, but to remind people that all the good work<br>
coming from the AHLA group should be attributed to Michele's<br>
leadership, not mine. <br>
<br>
So join me in congratulating Michele and Reza in their
ascension<br>
to group leader and please support them in their new role.<br>
<br>
I'd like to thank Yan, Alicia and Curt for agreeing to take<br>
on these new roles. Welcome back to OPS, Alicia! <br>
<br>
The impact of Yan formally leaving the OPSMCC group is still<br>
being worked out. For now Noel will run the group without a<br>
formal deputy. Yan will work with Noel and the OPSMCC crew<br>
chiefs in transitioning his direct reports to new<br>
supervisors over the next few months(to be completed by<br>
Sept. 30th). <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Arne<br>
<br>
Details: The Injector group will be known organizationally as<br>
OPSINJ and will manage upgrade projects and the new (in FY12)<br>
RSRINJ project. Office moves will be worked out in the next
few<br>
months. <br>
