Abstract :
A Monte Carlo model depicting the operation of the Fermilab Tevatron Complex has been constructed. The purpose is to replicate the general behavior of the Complex, incorporating aspects that are known to affect its performance, in order to learn how optimally to run the Complex. The newest ring at Fermilab, the Recycler, has been added to the model in order to understand how best to incorporate it into the rest of the Complex. This model includes numerous parameterizations of the Complex, including reasonable random fluctuations and normal interruptions in operation of each accelerator due to downtime. Optimizations are performed to guide us in making using the model in order to maximize the integrated luminosity delivered to the experiments.
