Description

The Future Circular Electron-Positron Collider (FCC-ee) is CERN’s leading proposal for the next generation of energy-frontier particle accelerators. At 91 km long, it is ambitious in size, complexity and technical objectives. Availability is a significant challenge. Rising to this ambition requires targeted reliability activities in the technical design phase, which is forecast to start in 2028. This paper outlines the tools and processes being developed to support design teams for reliability and availability in this defining phase. Tools are categorised into three groups: (1) Analytics resources for detailed modelling of subsystem requirements; (2) Performance prediction tools for assessment of proposed designs and architectures; (3) Integration-level support for cost-optimisation of R&D activities considering deliverables of the whole accelerator. The project scope of tools within each category is presented along with their intended use case in the FCC design process. Initial conclusions already gained from these applications is further showcased.
