“…The "Pansophy" system, as it came to be called, provided a convenient user interface with which to both structure and use a robust underlying database. [102][103][104] The system provides the tools for electronic "travelers" to be created directly by engineers and scientists. These version-controlled travelers are both "prescriptive" and "descriptive", in that they specify actions and procedures, and also collect data and part-specific comments from each implementation of a task.…”

CEBAF, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, has been actively serving the nuclear physics research community as a unique forefront international resource since 1995. This CW electron linear accelerator (linac) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National AcceleratorFacility (Jefferson Lab) has continued to evolve as a precision tool for discerning the structure and dynamics within nuclei. Superconducting RF (SRF) technology has been the essential foundation for CEBAF, first as a 4 GeV machine, then 6 GeV, and currently capable of 12 GeV. We review the development, implementation, and performance of SRF systems for CEBAF from its early beginnings to the commissioning of the 12 GeV era.

“…Pansophy, a web-based system conceived as a vehicle for collecting, managing and exploiting the data from SRF accelerator subsystem development and production efforts, began development in early 2000 [1]. Because data from the construction of the original CEBAF accelerator was saved in paper form, it was cumbersome to search, and trends were difficult to spot.…”

Jefferson Lab has developed a web-based system that integrates commercial database, data analysis, document archiving and retrieval, and user interface software into a coherent knowledge management product called Pansophy. Pansophy provides key tools for the successful pursuit of major projects such as accelerator system development and construction by offering elements of process and procedure control, data capture and review, and data mining and analysis. Today, Pansophy is used in Jefferson Lab's SNS superconducting linac construction effort as a means for structuring and implementing the QA program, for process control and tracking, and for cryomodule test data capture and presentation/analysis. Development of Pansophy continues, with improvements to data queries and analysis functions that are the cornerstone of its utility. In this paper the present configuration and operational environment of Pansophy is described, along with future development goals. Additionally, specific examples of its use in an accelerator construction project will be presented.

Jefferson Lab has extensively used a proprietary webbased system (Pansophy) that integrates commercial database, data analysis, document archiving and retrieval, and user interface software, as a coherent knowledge management product during the construction of the cryomodules for the SNS Superconducting Linac, providing elements of process and procedure control, data capture and review, and data mining and analysis. With near real-time and potentially global access to production data, process monitoring and performance analyses could be pursued in a timely manner, providing crucial feedback. The extensibility, portability, and accessibility of Pansophy via universally available software components provide the essential features needed in any information and project management system capable of meeting the needs of future accelerator construction efforts, requiring an unprecedented level of regional and international coordination and collaboration, to which Pansophy is well suited.
