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

Operations • Budgets • Staffing plans • Operation goals
LCLS Proposed Budget • Accelerator Systems • FY2009: $ 96.7M (similar to FY08) • Experiment Facilities • FY2009: $ 2M (new money) • FY2010: $ 9M
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)
LCLS Facility in its Science Context • Advisory groups • User outreach • Access policy

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
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)
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)
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.”
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
2008 LCLS/SSRL Users Meeting Oct 15-18, 2008
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
Summary • LCLS operations organization is taking shape • User outreach is progressing well • User policy encourages and supports widespread accessibility • LCLS is open for business
