Task Coverage
 Each institution is responsible to provide its share of service
proportional to its membership count
 Philosophy of ‘you build it, you maintain it’ works reasonably
well
o
o
Funding agencies have a strong preference for this
• a legacy of the Memoranda of Agreement signed during detector
construction
Software/computing service is more flexible.
 Effort for major upgrades come from the existing groups.
These new efforts never have problems attracting eager postdocs and students from the more flexible US institutions.
o
It is more difficult to man systems that require only routine
maintenance: streamlining the task helps here.
 New groups joining BaBar sign MOAs taking responsibility for
specific tasks. New member burdens are 0.5 FTE in the first
year.

Summary of service work effort
Based on annual audit of systems in 2004 and 2005
Differences are largely due to completion of DCH
upgrade and LST fabrication

[1]Graduate Students are Stanford University Assistants who typically have half-time appointments, i.e. 0.5 FTE each.
[2] FY06 is the first year of a multiple-year transition of linac operations to BES. PEP-II FTE's include those supported from BES linac operations funding.

New initiative to fill system tasks
Examined system manpower requirements last December in the
Technical Board
o All systems are at a minimal asymptotic level of support,
with well identified tasks and needs
Have now examined with system mangers the plans for coverage
of these tasks, as well as open needs, through end of operations
o We are at the beginning of a process of engaging PIs and
national groups in filling open positions
o We will also be paying specific attention to institutions that
have below average service contribution rates
We expect that the present service task policies will be sufficient
to fill most positions
o In some cases, the tasks are quite technical requiring
specific expertise; these will be more challenging
o SLAC has been very supportive in using short-term staff
positions to help alleviate these special positions

Conclusions
 Operation of BABAR is routine with well understood
requirements
o
o
Revised computing model has proven very robust, with most
development complete at this stage
We have scrutinized the needs of systems and do not see
substantial possibilities for reductions
 Generally appears to be a good match between
requirements to maintain efficient operations and PI
plans for participation in BABAR
o
o
For some specialized tasks, finding experienced or qualified
people is becoming more challenging
SLAC is fully supportive and recognizes that in some cases
short-term staff appointments are needed

Conclusions
 Requirements to complete LST project are well
understood
o
Installation is well supported by participating US and Italian
institutions, with extensive planning based on work in 2004
 Small number of additional development projects are
underway
o
Relieving DAQ limits, removing remaining dependence on
Objectivity, further work on bookkeeping system
