The overall coordination of the operations of the ALICE experiment is under the responsibility of Technical Coordination (TC). The TC appoints the Run Coordinator (RC) and Deputy Run Coordinator (DRC) who are responsible for the data taking operations of the ALICE detector and represent the experiment at the LHC accelerator control center (CCC).
RC is assisted in the daily coordination work by a Run Manager (RM) for the duration of a 2 week period. Each subsystem nominates a System Run Coordinator (SRC), who is responsible for the detailed organization of the real-time operation of the subsystem and provides the interface between the RC and the project. The shift crew has the task of operating the experiment for an 8-hour shift period. It is headed by a Shift Leader (SL) who is in charge of implementing the shift plan defined in the run coordination meetings and directing the shift operations.
