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, it is ambitious in size, complexity and technical objectives. Availability is a significant challenge. Rising to this ambition requires a coordinated availability-driven design strategy. Three broad objectives are identified: (1) R\&D opportunities must be evaluated and compared across holistic metrics to enable early and informed design decisions; (2) Precise and balanced targets for availability must be defined ready for detailed system design; (3) Viable solutions to improve performance must be optimised against cost constraints to deliver efficient as well as performant solutions. Towards these objectives, this paper presents early results from ramilab, an integration-level performance-cost optimisation tool designed to evaluate, compare and optimise accelerator designs in terms of their holistic effect on machine availability and integrated luminosity.
