    The Statement of Work outlines a year-long project to support graduate student thesis research at the Accelerator Facilities Division (AFD) focused on high-brightness electron and laser beams. Two graduate students with prior ATF experience will assist the ATF staff, engaging in an approved experiment and various operational tasks. Responsibilities include supporting system upgrades from CAMAC to VME64X architecture, training for facility operations as Capability Duty Operators at both the ATF and the Low Energy Accelerator Development (LEAD) Facility, analyzing machine performance, and participating in planning meetings. The University will provide a principal investigator experienced in accelerator science to supervise the students. The project emphasizes hands-on training and research to enhance the students' expertise in accelerating beam technologies at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), with provisions for contract extension if necessary. This initiative aligns with federal funding goals as it develops skilled personnel in advanced scientific research fields.
