  1. From construction project to operating facility • Structure of the LCLS facility organization • Operations and the experiment program Transition to Operations John Arthur LCLS

  2. Steps in turning on the LCLS • Timeline • Accelerator commissioning • X-ray commissioning

  3. AMO Experiment program begins LCLS Installation and Commissioning First Light in FEE First Light in FEH LTU/Und/Dump Install PPS Cert. LTU/Dump CD-4 (7/31/2010) X-Rays in NEH FEE/NEH Install FEH Hutch BO FEH Install PEP-II run ends now J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A S O N D J F M A M J J A A M 2008 2009 2010 Down PPS LTU/Und Comm. Linac/BC2 Commissioning Re-commission Inj/BC2 to SL2 FEE Comm.

  4. Accelerator Commissioning • Ground rules for transfer of new accelerator systems from construction to Accelerator Systems Div were defined in Lab Director’s memo, 12/2006 • ASD SOP for control of accelerator configuration implemented from start of commissioning • Staged handover of new systems • Injector + BC-1 • Commissioning: April 2007 start, November 2007 finish • + Linac through Sector 30 • Commissioning: January 2008 start, April 2008 finish • + Beam Transport through Undulator and Beam Dump • January 2009 start, July 2009 finish

  5. X-Ray Commissioning • Front End start commissioning • May 2009 • Near Hall start commissioning • July 2009 • Far Hall start commissioning • February 2010

  6. Organization • LCLS Directorate within SLAC • Structure of the LCLS Directorate

  7. SLAC Organization SLAC Director P. Drell LCLS D. Knutson Photon Science K. Hodgson SSRL J. Stöhr Particle Physics & Astrophysics S. Kahn Operations A. Merola Engineering & Technical Support L. Klaisner

  8. LCLS Directorate Organization LCLS Director Dale Knutson Accelerator Systems Div John Seeman Experimental Facilities Div Jochen Schneider Business Div Cindy Lowe Engineering Physics Div David Schultz Strategic Projects Div John Galayda LCLS Construction LUSI

  9. Operations • Budgets • Staffing plans • Operation goals

  10. LCLS Proposed Budget • Accelerator Systems • FY2009: $ 96.7M (similar to FY08) • Experiment Facilities • FY2009: $ 2M (new money) • FY2010: $ 9M

  11. Accelerator Systems Budget

  12. Photon Operations Staffing (FTE)

  13. Target Running Schedule • 2009: AMO, SXR • 2010: AMO, SXR, XPP • 2011: AMO, SXR, XPP, CXI • 2012: AMO, SXR, XPP, CXI, XCS • HED? (hours of operation)

  14. LCLS Facility in its Science Context • Advisory groups • User outreach • Access policy

  15. LCLS Science Advisory Committee Roger Falcone UC Berkeley, USA - Chair Massimo Altarelli European XFEL Project Phil Bucksbaum Stanford University Robert L. Byer Stanford University Hans Frauenfelder LANL Wayne Hendrickson Columbia University Tetsuya Ishikawa RIKEN Spring-8 Center Margaret Murnane University of Colorado-Boulder Francesco Sette ESRF Sunil Sinha UCSD Dietrich von der Linde University of Essen Justin Wark Oxford University C. Lewis Cocke Kansas State University Robert Schoenlein LBNL Philip Anfinrud NIH Geraldine Richmond University of Oregon

  16. LCLS/LUSI Instrument Teams • SAC recommended scientific thrust areas, based on letters of intent to do LCLS science (250 signatories) • Thrust areas: AMO, XPP, CXI, HED, XCS, SXR • Scientists chose team leaders for each area • Interface with SLAC • Provide input to instrument design process • Instrument scientists in regular contact with team leaders • Team leaders review and accept instrument physics requirement documents • Workshops have brought many team members to SLAC • LCLS encourages instrument team presence from start of instrument operation

  17. XPP (Instrument scientist: David Fritz) K. Gaffney (SLAC, leader) D. Reis (U. of MI) T. Tschentscher (DESY) J. Larsson (Lund Inst Tech) CXI (Instrument scientist: Sebastien Boutet) J. Hajdu (SLAC + Uppsala U, leader) H. Chapman (DESY) J. Miao (UCLA) XCS (Instrument scientist: Aymeric Robert) B. Stephenson (ANL, leader) K. Ludwig (Boston U) G. Grübel, DESY Instrument Team Leaders (LUSI)

  18. Instrument Team Leaders (non-LUSI) • AMO (Instrument scientist: John Bozek) • L. Di Mauro (Ohio State, leader) • N. Berrah (Western Michigan U) • SXR (Instrument scientist TBD) • A. Nilsson (Stanford) • W. Wurth (U Hamburg) • HED (Instrument scientist TBD) • R. Lee (LLNL, leader) • P. Heimann (LBNL)

  19. Outreach: Web (LCLS.slac.stanford.edu)

  20. Information on LCLS instruments

  21. User site (LCLS.slac.stanford.edu/USER/) “Proposals for experiments using the AMO station must be submitted by September 1, 2008.” “During 2010 it is anticipated that the spectral range of the LCLS will be extended to 8 keV. A call for proposals for XPP will be issued in early 2009.”

  22. LCLS Users Organization • First met at 2007 LCLS Users Meeting • Elected an Executive Committee • A. Barty (LLNL) • R. Lee (LLNL) • L. Young (ANL) • First task: create charter • Draft in circulation

  23. 2008 LCLS/SSRL Users Meeting Oct 15-18, 2008

  24. User Access Policy • All instruments are managed by LCLS • Every experiment starts with a proposal • Beam time allocated primarily on scientific merit • Some time reserved for instrumentation proposals • Small fraction reserved for Director’s discretion & in-house research • Special, limited-time arrangements of preference for LCLS/LUSI instrument team • Groups making significant additions of general utility to LCLS can negotiate limited-time preference

  25. Summary • LCLS operations organization is taking shape • User outreach is progressing well • User policy encourages and supports widespread accessibility • LCLS is open for business
