  1. Hal Tompkins, John Arthur LCLS Experimental Facilities DivisionJune 30, 2009 NEH status and XFD operations

  2. Current NEH status • LCLS is operating through the Front End Enclosure, just upstream of NEH • New NEH building is fully functional • NEH hutches & shielding are in place • Hutch door installation being finalized • PPS systems are installed • Safety systems not yet certified

  3. Beam delivery to NEH NEH FEE 800-2000 eV to Hutch 1 insertable stoppers 800-2000 eV to Hutch 2 Shadow Wall Wall 2 insertable Temp stop 2000-25000 eV to Hutch 3-6

  6. Experimental Facilities Division (XFD) XFD Director XFD Safety Officer Science Inst Scientists R&D R&D tech staff Operations Area Mgr Floor Coord’s User Admin Ops tech staff

  7. Experimental Facilities Division Tasks Manage safe operations in LCLS experimental areas Manage LCLS user program Maintain and upgrade X-ray instrumentation Enable good user science; initiate in-house research

  8. XFD processes • Strong ties between XFD and ASD • ASD operating structure used as a model for XFD • Preparing key processes and documentation • XFD directives: describe roles/responsibilities and prescribed actions • XFD training plan and training records plan • SAD, ASE to include NEH • Instrument Readiness Review (IRR) process for adding capability to LCLS experimental area incrementally

  9. XFD operations roles • XFD Director • Develop long-range goals, schedules • Authorize significant changes in operation • Delegate operations authority to Operations Head • XFD Safety Officer • Oversee safety aspects of all XFD activities • Participate in scheduling • Participate in development of hazard mitigation plans • Operations Head • Manage operations • User Administration • Detailed User scheduling • User logistics and general training

  10. XFD operations roles, cont. • Area Manager • Coordinate activities in area • Manage maintenance in area • Release work in area • Floor Coordinator • 24/7 coverage • Release all work involving x-ray beams • Instrument Scientist • Release work on instrument • Participate in scheduling • Manage maintenance of instrument • Supervise Users

  11. XFD staffing • XFD began 2009 with some staff in place • J. Schneider, J. Hastings, J. Arthur (upper management) • H. Tompkins (NEH Area Manager) • P. Stefan, S. Moeller (diagnostics physicists) • N. van Bakel (detector physicist) • J. Bozek (AMO scientist) • D. Fritz, A. Robert, S. Boutet, Y. Feng (LUSI scientists) • Matrix support from Laser group, Controls group, DAQ group, Rad Physics A total of about 20 people

  12. XFD staffing • New staff supporting XFD early operations • Z. Van Hoover (XFD Safety Officer) • J. Bringetto (XFD Documentation Specialist) • H. Kamil (LCLS User Admin) • C. Bostedt (AMO scientist) • D. Rich, J-C Castagna, M. Holmes (operations engineers) • C. Brown, D. Peterswright, W. Polzin (Floor Coordinators) • Being hired, needed for AMO commissioning • 3 more Floor Coordinators (offers going out now) • Coming soon, not essential for AMO commissioning • Additional technicians • Administrator • Additional scientists
