•The Time Line Generator (TLG) sequences
all accelerator operations.
•Traditionally, each sequence (“module”)
is independent, including any necessary Booster prepulses.
•This wasn’t really compatible with the goal of getting the maximum possible beam out of the
Booster.
•In the new scheme:
–Standalone sequences are placed in the
time line, with necessary prepulses
–MiniBooNE pulses are
“trailer-hitched” to the end of these to achieve a specified average
repetition rate, subject to an overall total rate.
–If there aren’t enough modules to
trailer-hitch to, new modules will be built (still working the bugs out of this
one).
