Overview • There was a constant demand for electron and positron beams in the Final Focus Test beam (FFTB) and End Station A (ESA) from a wide variety of accelerator physics users. • However, the FFTB has been removed to make room for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). ESA is still in use. • Many locations at SLAC have been studied for FACET. The optimum location is Linac Sector 20 for the Accelerator Science Facility (ASF) where the FFTB accelerator beam capabilities (final focus) can be relocated in a straight forward fashion. • FACET makes use of the PEP-II HER bypass line to take a damped e- beam to End Station A, independent of LCLS. • The existing electron longitudinal bunch compressor at the 1/3 point in the linac can be modified to compress positron bunches, as well, opening new worldwideunique opportunities for accelerator research. • A Hadron Production Facility (for single particles) can be added to the A-Line to ESA.
FACET Layout Hadron Production Facility FACET has four areas: Accelerator Science Facility (ASF) (Sector 20) e+ bunch compressor (Sector 10) Electron Bypass Line (EBL) extension to ESA Hadron Production Facility in A-Line to ESA
Basic FACET areas • Final Focus (ASF) in Sector 20: Makes a small beam spot (<10 microns) for experimenters. Similar design and layout as FFTB final focus. • Sector 10 compressor for e+: Allows the production of positrons by e- and the delivery of short bunch length e+ to the experimenter. Same design and layout as present e- compressor. • Bypass line (EBL): Allows independent operation from LCLS. Use PEP-II HER injection bypass lines with 9 to 12 GeV e- with extension built to join to A-line transport to ESA. • The technology is the same as the former FFTB, SLC arcs, and existing PEP-II injection bypass lines. Many components salvaged from SLC, FFTB, and PEP-II. • Minimal design and engineering needed!
Proposed Construction Timeline • Fall 2008: Installation of shielding wall in linac tunnel between Sectors 20 and 21. This allows tunnel installation work to proceed in Sector 20 while the LCLS injector and other downstream systems operate in 2009. • January through September 2009: Installation of Sector 20 magnets and vacuum systems while LCLS commissioning activities proceed in downstream sectors. • Fall 2009: Removal of existing components of the PEP-II injection transport systems in the BSY, as needed for FACET EBL. Modifications will be done to the common line vacuum system in the BSY. • FY 2010: First operation of Sector 20 ASF final focus with electrons. Installation of positron compressor system in Sector 10. • Fall 2010: Installation of the bypass line in the BSY and Hadron Production Facility. • FY 2011: All FACET systems fully operational, independent of LCLS operations.
Basic FACET ASF Beam Parameters • Beam Energy = 30 GeV • Single bunch per pulse • 30 Hz (120 Hz possible) • Charge per bunch (e- or e+) = 1 x 109 to 3.5 x 1010 • Bunch length = 15-30 microns • Transverse spot size at experiment <10 microns • Energy spread = 0.5 to 4 % (full width)

LCLS Injector (Sector 21) New FACET Wall
Linac Tunnel • ASF has a bunch compression dog-leg beam line and a final focus for the experiment. • Longitudinal space for experiments will be the same as the FFTB. • Transverse space is adequate for accelerator experiments and many detector experiments. • Electric carts can travel in the linac tunnel aisle now and will be able to after the ASF and experiments are installed.
Basic FACET EBL-ESA Beam Parameters • Beam Energy = 9-12 GeV using PEP-II HER line • Single bunch per pulse • 30 Hz (120 Hz possible) • Charge per bunch = 1 x 109 to 3.5 x 1010 • Bunch length = ~1 mm • Transverse spot size at experiment < 1mm • Energy spread = <1 %

Old Proposal:SLAC Overview with SABER in SLC South Arc • SABER consists of three main components: • (1) Experimental area with final focus and beam dump in SLC South Arc tunnel. • (2) Linac Pulse Compressor upgrade to compress positron bunches. • (3) Bypass Line to deliver e- or e+ beams to SABER, bypassing the LCLS. (2) e+ e- (3) (1)
Old SABER: Reuse 1 km of PEP-II Injection Bypass Line Sector 20 (exists) Linac Sector 21-30 (exists) 51 Line (exists) South Arc (exists) Extraction Line (new) Re-injection Line (new) Drift Line (exists but 12 30 GeV) ~50 m ~1000 m ~50 m Drift Line: Reuse: Vacuum chambers, pumps and controls Beam position monitors Beam size monitors Steering corrector magnets Quadrupole magnets and power supplies New: Extra quadrupole magnets, power supplies, supports, water
Suggestions from SABER Review • FACET team has answered the committee recommendations from the DOE “SABER” review held December 6-7, 2006: • Broader science program: • Added ESA beam for detector and accelerator studies. • Added hadron production facility for single particle detector studies. • New location and lowest cost: • Final focus in Sector 20 saves bypass line upgrade costs and has easier beam tuning. (Saves 3.6 M$) • ASF and ESA can operate simultaneously, independent of LCLS. • Manage the construction as a project: • Project management team is now proposed.
Budget changes from SABER FACET (FY2007$) • SABER budget total: 12.4 M$ • South Arc final focus: 2.4 M$ • Linac bypass line (30 GeV) upgrade: 8.3 M$ • Positron Bunch Compressor: 1.5 M$ • Personnel Protection System upgrade: 0.2 M$ • FACET budget total: 15.5 M$ • Sector 20 ASF final focus: 7.1 M$ • Positron bunch compressor: 1.5 M$ • EBL Bypass line extension to ESA (12 GeV): 4.3 M$ • ESA Hadron Production Facility: 0.6 M$ • Project management: 2.0 M$ • Operations costs: ~6 M$ for 4 months for running both ASF and ESA together.
Conclusions • FACET (ASF and ESA) is a solid advance over the old design. • The breath of the experimental program has been significantly expanded. • There are four components to the facility allowing staging of the program. • FACET construction matches the LCLS staff ramp down plan and accelerator operations schedule. • Budget estimates have been carefully managed to be as low as possible.
