Description
The overall performance of the accelerators in 2004 will be
presented, in terms of
beam intensity and availability. This performance will be compared
with the original
expectations and the performance from previous years. This
comparison will reveal a
degradation in accelerator performance, possible causes for which
will be
identified. These will include ageing equipment, reduced
maintenance, and a general
lack of support for existing accelerators…. Finally, in order to
provoke a lively
discussion, the possible evolution of the performance, if we cannot
reverse this
trend, will be shown.
