Abstract :
A Monte Carlo-type model of the Fermilab Collider has been constructed, the goal of which is to accurately represent the operation of the Collider, incorporating the aspects of the facility which affect operations in order to determine how to run optimally. In particular, downtime for the various parts of the complex are parameterized and included. Also, transfer efficiencies, emittance growths, changes in the luminosity lifetime and other effects are included and randomized in a reasonable manner
