Mission Statements
IFP -- ILC and Future Programs Quadrant
The ILC and Future Programs Quadrant of the Computing Division promotes
and fully contributes to and collaborates on
International Linear Collider (ILC) and future scientific programs
at Fermilab by developing and providing innovative and excellent
scientific, computing, engineering and technical skills and techniques.
IFP/ADS
-- Accelerator and Detector Simulations Department
The mission of the Accelerator and Detector Simulation Department/FNAL CD is
to take responsibility in national and international simulation projects
for critical contributions by providing leadership, scientific knowledge and
technical expertise to the FNAL ILC detector design teams, in the accelerator
modeling community, the CMS LHC Physics Center and as members of the Geant4
collaboration. Our significant skills in C++ and other programming languages
provides, advances and improves code bases used for simulation and other
endeavors.
We contribute to the on-going scientific programs of the laboratory
including CMS and Run II and the FNAL neutrino program by providing support and
expertise to those communities by providing a library of certified generated
events, as well as participating directly in physics analysis.
IFP/ADS/IDS
-- ILC Detector Simulations Group
The mission of the IDS group is to become take valuable lead roles in ILC
Detector simulation. The idea is to combine strong computational developers
with good scientists (both in the group and external to our group) to meld a
team that has real impact in enabling Fermilab to be a key scientific
contributor to ILC detector design. The IDS group will initially take
responsibility for developing and packaging serious tracking and pattern
recognition capabilities, for the ILC community (including ourselves) to study
detector design issues.
A secondary mission is to provide a core of high-level
C++ and Java expertise, and to use that talent to assist ongoing and future HEP
activities. This expertise should make available high-quality libraries
providing key capabilities for HEP, and influence the evolution of the C++
language in directions favorable for scientific endeavors.
IFP/ADS/GDS
-- Generators and Detector Simulations Group
The Generators and Detector Simulation Group (GDS) supports simulations
activities relevant to current and future Fermilab projects, by
providing expertise in detector and physics modeling tools. The Group
concentrates on support and development of physics generators for Run II
and future energy frontier experiments, as well as on GEANT4 based
detector simulation applications related to future experiments such as
CMS.
The development and maintenance of physics libraries related to
simulations, such as HepMC and HepPDT, are also part of the GDS efforts.
IFP/ADS/CPA
-- Computational Physics for Accelerators Group
IFP/DAC
-- DAQ and Controls Department
The mission is to provide technical advice, develop and support performant,
robust, and well documented DAQ and Controls related software solutions to
Fermilab, the Fermilab user community and the global ILC effort in a timely
manner, appropriately reflecting Computing Division and Laboratory priorities.
The organization provides services tailored to the needs of the client, ranging
from design and independent reviews of systems and software to development and
support of new systems including high and low level project management where
appropriate, with the highest level of professionalism and excellence.
IFP/DAC/AIS
-- Applications and Infrastructure Software Group
IFP/DAC/CCT
-- Controls and Collaborative Tools Groupp
IFP/ESE
-- Electronic Systems Engineering Department
The mission of CD Engineering is to provide high quality design,
implementation, maintenance and project management support for hardware systems
for HEP and Astrophysics experimentalists and phenomenologists. Hardware
systems include board and system level hardware and firmware, and
infrastructure electronics.
IFP/ESE/DCT
-- DAQ Controls and Timing Group
IFP/ESE/DIG
-- Detector Instrumentation Group
