Accelerator/Experiment Operations - FY 2013
The low-energy and high-energy neutrino beams, the SeaQuest beam, and the Test Beam in the Meson area were shutoff on May 1, 2012 to begin work on the accelerator upgrades for NOvA (ANU), and for overall accelerator system maintenance. The shutdown of the Main Injector ended July 30, 2013, with the startup of the Accelerator systems for commissioning. Vacuum issues in the Main Injector delayed Commissioning and neutrino running until September.

Accelerator/Experiment Operations - FY 2012
This Technical Memorandum (TM) summarizes the Fermilab accelerator and accelerator experiment operations for FY 2012. It is one of a series of annual publications intended to gather information in one place. In this case, the information concerns the FY 2012 MINOS and MINERνA experiments using the Main Injector Neutrino Beam (NuMI), the MiniBooNE experiment running in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), and the Meson Test Beam (MTest) activities in the 120 GeV external Switchyard beam (SY120). Each section was prepared by the relevant authors, and was somewhat edited for inclusion in this summary.

Project OASIS: The Design of a Signal Detector for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
An 8 million channel spectrum analyzer (MCSA) was designed the meet to meet the needs of a SETI program. The MCSA puts out a very large data base at very high rates. The development of a device which follows the MCSA, is presented.

TDRSS telecommunications system, PN code analysis
The pseudo noise (PN) codes required to support the TDRSS telecommunications services are analyzed and the impact of alternate coding techniques on the user transponder equipment, the TDRSS equipment, and all factors that contribute to the acquisition and performance of these telecommunication services is assessed. Possible alternatives to the currently proposed hybrid FH/direct sequence acquisition procedures are considered and compared relative to acquisition time, implementation complexity, operational reliability, and cost. The hybrid FH/direct sequence technique is analyzed and rejected in favor of a recommended approach which minimizes acquisition time and user transponder complexity while maximizing probability of acquisition and overall link reliability.
