Chris Marshall, a graduate student finishing his thesis at Rochester, was on the day shift today and contributed this screenshot from the Original UROC at Rochester.

The Fermilab ROC
Emily Maher, a Physics Professor at MCLA, who was doing the night shift, has kindly documented the official setup in the Fermilab control room. This is on the MINERvA shift wiki but that makes it hard to post pictures so I’m reposting here.
The remote control room
The MINERvA experiment at Fermilab is currently running 24×7 in the NuMI neutrino beam.
We have set up a Remote Operations Center (UROC) at Oregon State where we can run remote shifts monitoring data acquisition and controlling data taking. This frees up the experts at Fermilab for emergency repairs.
The screen on the far left shows neutrino interactions as they are logged at Fermilab.
This is a picture of an anti-neutrino interaction in the MINERvA detector. The invisible neutrino entered from the left, hit a nucleus and produced a muon particle which exits to the right. The color scale of the far right shows the amount of energy deposited in each pixel of the detector. The detector is about 10 m long and 2 m across.
For experts: UROC screens
I found out at shift turnover that Chris M. at Rochester had diagnosed a problem using a screen I didn’t know about. So we agreed to document our displays to see if we’re looking at all the displays we need to look at.
Here is my general layout:
