Methodology: The study examined the feasibility of remotely operating large accelerators by considering a hypothetical facility designed, built, and operated by a worldwide collaboration of equal partner institutions, which was distant from most of these institutions. The full range of operation, including commissioning, machine development, maintenance, trouble shooting, and repair, was considered.
Methodology: The study examined the feasibility of remotely operating large accelerators by considering a hypothetical facility designed, built, and operated by a worldwide collaboration of equal partner institutions. This collaboration would be remote from most of the institutions, and experts from each laboratory would remain at their home institution but participate in the operation of the machine after construction.


Results: The research found that there is no technical obstacle to controlling an accelerator from a distance. The major challenge lies in solving the complex management and communication problems. Experts from each laboratory would remain at their home institution but continue to participate in the operation of the machine after construction. Experts are required to be on-site only during initial commissioning and for particularly difficult problems. Repairs require an on-site non-expert maintenance crew. Most interventions can be made without an expert and many of the rest can be resolved with remote assistance.

Implications: The implications of this approach are significant. It allows for the maintenance of a broad base of expertise from various accelerator laboratories around the world, which is crucial for the successful development of advanced accelerator technology. Additionally, it reduces the cost and complexity of international collaborations by allowing experts to participate in the operation of the machine from their home institutions.

Implications: The implications of this approach are significant. It allows for the participation of a critical mass of highly qualified and experienced physicists and engineers, promoting collaboration among accelerator laboratories around the world.

Title: Remote Operation of Large Accelerators

Question: Can large accelerators be operated remotely from far-off sites, and what are the implications of this approach?

Methodology: The study examined the feasibility of remotely operating large accelerators by considering a hypothetical facility designed, built, and operated by a worldwide collaboration of equal partner institutions. This collaboration would be remote from most of the institutions, and experts from each laboratory would remain at their home institution but participate in the operation of the machine after construction.

Results: The study found that there is no technical obstacle to controlling an accelerator from a distance. The major challenge is to solve the complex management and communication problems. The researchers concluded that a model for an international multi-laboratory collaboration to construct and operate an accelerator facility could be effective in maintaining a broad base of expertise while allowing experts to continue participating in the operation of the machine.

Implications: The implications of this approach are significant. It allows for the participation of a critical mass of highly qualified and experienced physicists and engineers, promoting collaboration among accelerator laboratories around the world. Additionally, it enables experts to continue working on their home institutions while still contributing to the operation of the remote accelerator. This model could potentially streamline the process of constructing and operating large accelerators, making it more efficient and cost-effective. However, it also presents complex management and communication challenges that need to be addressed.
