  1. DOE Office of ScienceBudget Overview Kenneth O. Olsen MSU/FRIB May 1, 2014

  2. INTRODUCTION • This presentation is not an official review of the DOE SC budget • The total FY-14 appropriation for SC is $5,066M and the President's request for FY-15 is $5,111M, a net increase of 0.9% • Presentation focus is on areas that potentially impact advanced accelerator R&D and construction projects • A more detailed budget presentation was given by Pat Dehmer, Acting Director SC, at the SPAFOA Capitol Hill on Dec. 12, 2013 • However that was before DOE received its FY-14 appropriation and release of the President’s FY-15 budget request in March

  3. Partial SC Budget Overview * Offices impacting accelerator R&D, facility construction and accelerator user facility operations

  4. DOE SC Major Project Milestones Major projects managed under DOE Order 413.3b https://www.directives.doe.gov/directives.../0413.3-BOrder-b • CD-0 Approve Mission Need • CD-1 Approve Alternative Selection and Cost Range • CD-2 Approve Performance Baseline • CD-3A Approve Long-Lead Procurements • CD-3 Approve Start of Construction • CD-4 Approve Start of Operations

  5. Basic Energy Sciences LCLS-II • Major upgrade of Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) facility at SLAC to LCLS-II • Recommended by the BESAC in 2013 report • Adds new 4 GeV superconducting linac feeding new independently tunable undulators • FY-14 funding $85.7M • FY-15 Pres. Budget request $148M

  6. Basic Energy Sciences- LCLS-II • Total project cost est. $895M (Pres. FY-15 req.) • First superconducting linac systems to be installed at SLAC • Acquired by SLAC under existing M&O contract • SLAC will partner with other DOE Labs for the design and procurement of key technical components, (probably FNAL and Jlab) • All subcontracts will be competitively bid on a best value to the Government basis • SPAFOA negotiating with SLAC for a members meeting, Sept 2014?

  7. Fusion Energy • Key issue is the future of the US contribution to the ITER project in France • Issue broader than DOE, involved agreements signed by the State Department

  8. High Energy Physics • Muon to Electron Conversion Experiment (Mu2e) complete design phase CD-2 in FY-15 and move into full construction • High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) to review P-5 report on future recommendations for HEP activities including the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) and make recommendations to SC/ OHEP. • Report is scheduled to be presented to HEPAP May 18. • OHEP plans to have information of the proposed future of LBNE in time to impact FY-15 appropriation • LBNE will be managed by Fermilab, long range detector system is at Homestake mine in SD • A key cost/capability issue is the depth of far detector • Will be discussed in detail with SPAFOA at our next meeting at Fermilab (later this year?)

  9. Nuclear Physics • FRIB off and running. Congratulations!!! • Thanks for the great presentations today

  10. SPAFOA Issue • DOE is now engaged in 3 major facility R,D, and construction projects; LCLS II, FRIB, and potentially LBNE. Subcontracts for hardware and construction services appear to be made on a “best value” basis • Substantive involvement in these projects has the potential of several hundred million dollars of business, growth of hundreds of high-tech jobs, and long term business prospects in other SCRF applications for US industry. • We need to get this message across to decision makers when they define “best value” • SPAFOA BOD will be discussing a white paper on “best value”
