Accelerator Operations
Operating the LANSCE Accelerator
LANSCE Accelerator Operations Central Control Room.
Accelerator Operations (AOT-OPS) Group operates the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator; designs, installs, and maintains protective systems; operates the 1L (Lujan Center) target; and designs, maintains, and operates 1L target systems.
AOT-OPS provides for safe and efficient operation of the LANSCE beam delivery systems on a 24/7 basis during operational periods. This effort includes delivering 100 MeV H+ ions to the Isotope Production Facility, 800 MeV H- ions to the Proton Radiography facility or the Ultra-Cold Neutron facility, and simultaneously delivering 800 MeV H- ions to the Weapons Neutron Research facility and the Lujan Center.
