MAP Outlook and Guidance Michael S. Zisman* Center for Beam Physics Accelerator & Fusion Research Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (*with S. Geer) MAP Meeting–Jlab March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Outline • Introduction • News • management plan • budget process • proposal status • director search • Challenges revisited • Closing comments • Kudos Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Introduction • This marks the first meeting of MAP • good progress in evidence on many fronts • pleased to see many new faces here! • Still many ideas being generated • these must be filtered through L1 leaders before proceeding • we will be judged by our (focused) progress • “making progress in all directions” will not be viewed favorably by reviewers or DOE Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
News (1) • Management plan sent to DOE in December • after approval by Fermilab Director Still awaiting DOE response Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
News (2) • Budget process is under way…albeit slowly • Statements of Work (SoWs) now prepared by Directors for each institution • milestones (linked to WBS) specified by L1 leaders • SG/MZ reviewing now (ready next week) • after our review, SoWs sent to institutional reps ( IB members) for their approval • forms to be signed by MAP Directors and Institutional Reps • thereafter, SG/MZ will send formal request to DOE for funding distribution Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
News (3) • Proposal status • at review, revised proposal requested November 30, 2010 • updated text was prepared and revised budget was being developed • final review report specified revised proposal due date of June 1, 2011 • to permit new MAP Director to prepare revisions • in time for next DOE review • anticipate next review this summer • all work on proposal stopped at this point Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
News (4) • Director search under way • search committee appointed • Stuart Henderson (chair) • Vladimir Shiltsev • Dan Green • Bob Palmer • Don Hartill • job description prepared for public distribution • to be released next week • Not clear recruitment time scale compatible with June 1 proposal deadline • SG/MZ seeking guidance on how to proceed Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Challenges Revisited (1) • Handling 4-MW beam • progress made in resolving target radiation issue • have initial solution that meets ITER criterion • study of downstream losses getting under way • under IDS-NF auspices Souchlas Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Challenges Revisited (2) • Need for high-gradient RF • continuing RF R&D progress at MTA • first beam arrived on February 28 • after a long gestation period Johnstone, Bross, Torun Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Challenges Revisited (3) • Need for ionization cooling • MICE magnets getting enhanced attention (Gourlay, Virostek) • increased effort for Spectrometer Solenoids • we WILL meet our obligations! • MICE RF cavities all delivered (DeMello, Li, Virostek) • final cooling with 30 T now looks okay Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Revised Final Cooling Palmer Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Challenges Revisited (4) • MDI/Backgrounds • massively parallel computing (Ryne) offers hope of fully detailed simulations of beam backgrounds • compared with 1/100 of bunch today Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Educational Aspects • We learned a new word! Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Goals • We look forward at Telluride to hearing • finalization of target baseline • approaches to handling energy deposition in front end • HPRF results with beam • initial tracking results for “VRCS” • initial design for 3 TeV collider ring Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Closing Comments • We must continue to be focused and disciplined in our R&D activities • agreement of cognizant L1 leader on research activities is a must for MAP-funded work • our success depends on being perceived as a program that delivers on its promises • We need to advertise our program • please use MAP logo on slides for all talks • look for opportunities to give talks/seminars on MAP work • We hope to see you at Telluride • June 27 – July 1, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Telluride 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
Kudos • Welcome to Muons, Inc. as members of MAP • Thanks to Alex Bogacz and Kevin Beard for organizing meeting • thanks also to L1 leaders who assisted in planning stimulating agenda • Thanks to excellent administrative staff for the hospitality we all experienced • Cynthia Lockwood, Stephanie Vermeire, Ruth Bizot • Next winter meeting at SLAC (date tbd) Outlook and Guidance - Zisman
