1. NSLS-to-NSLS-II beamline transition plan Outline Reasons, Scope, Criteria, Further input, Timeline Transition plan, Beamline groupings Evaluation of NSLS beamline productivity Possible distribution of NSLS beamlines to move to NSLS-II Beamline upgrade and moving costs Possible bend magnet usage at NSLS-II Schedule optimization, Issues Steve Hulbert Experimental Systems Division, NSLS NSLS-II EFAC Meeting May 10, 2007

2. Reasons for Transferring Beamlines to NSLS-II • User demand • Ensure significant capacity for NSLS-II at the commencement of operation • Lehman review recommendation • EFAC recommendation N.B.: DOE BES supports this initiative

3. Scope and Criteria Scope: • On the order of 20 beamlines • Primarily techniques with high demand and high productivity • Mainly occupy 3-pole wigglers, soft-bends, and large gap dipole (far-IR) • Certain endstations may go to insertion device beamlines Criteria for “movability”: • Scientific productivity, measured by # of publications • Operational strength, measured by usage and user demand • Technical quality & compatibility of beamline hardware with NSLS-II sources • Technical quality of endstation hardware • Consistent with NSLS-II scientific program planning

4. NSLS Beamline Transition Plan • Each of the existing beamlines at the NSLS, grouped by technique, was evaluated in terms of technical suitability for moving to a soft bend, a 3-pole wiggler, or an insertion device at NSLS-II. • Moving costs and costs associated with upgrading equipment to be suitable for NSLS-II were estimated (under the assumption that beamlines planned to be moved would be maintained at close to state-of-the-art in the interim). • The productivity (number of publications and premier publications) and user demand (hours requested) of the existing NSLS beamlines were evaluated. • From this list, and the technical and cost considerations, a suite of bending magnet beamlines were identified that would support the largest number of users with the greatest scientific impact.

6. NSLS Beamline Transition Plan • Each of the existing beamlines at the NSLS was evaluated in terms of technical suitability for moving to a soft bend, a 3-pole wiggler, or an insertion device at NSLS-II. • Moving costs and costs associated with upgrading equipment to be suitable for NSLS-II were estimated (under the assumption that beamlines planned to be moved would be maintained at close to state-of-the-art by the NSLS in the interim). • The productivity (number of publications and premier publications) and user demand (hours requested) of the existing NSLS beamlines were evaluated. • From this list, and the technical and cost considerations, a suite of bending magnet beamlines were identified that would support the largest number of users with the greatest scientific impact. Movability exercise results: Nearly all operating NSLS beamlines (Facility and PRT) were considered to have at least a portion of their hardware worthy of moving to NSLS-II. Therefore, a greater degree of selectivity was required…

8. Possible distribution of beamlines to be moved from NSLS to NSLS-II Total # movable beamlines = 22 • 20 to bends or 3-pole wigglers • 2 to IDs (SCWs)

9. NSLS Beamline Transition plan • 20 beamlines were identified, covering the following techniques: • EXAFS, SAXS, powder diffraction, scattering, PX, imaging, microdiffraction, topography, far-IR spectroscopy, and DEI. • Cost includes: • New optics req’d to match NSLS-II source and/or layout (mirrors, crystals, gratings) • Disassembly, moving and reassembly (based on recent X9-to-X3 move at NSLS) • Front end, First Optics Enclosure, PSS, and EPS at NSLS-II • Design support • Additional hardware (beampipes, cabling, windows and photon shutters). • Does not include operating costs Total moving cost = $45M (direct, FY07 dollars)

12. Schedule optimization • For each beamline group (by technique), develop a moving schedule which seeks to minimize any dip in the total (NSLS + NSLS-II) usage of the beamlines in that group during the transition period. • Within technique groupings of the 20 to-be-moved beamlines, move those beamlines which need the least technical upgrade last. This will minimize the time span of the transition period. • Ensure that NSLS users (both general and PRT users) are not unfairly impacted by interruptions in beamline operations associated with moving beamlines to NSLS-II. For example, NSLS should coordinate the integration of “displaced” users among the remaining beamlines of a given technique.

13. Further input and timeline Further input to be sought • Proposals from PRTs • User community, through NSLS UEC • NSLS SAC • NSLS-II EFAC Timeline • Develop a strawman for discussion and planning purposes • Seek input and feedback on the plan from advisory committees, and user community • Refine understanding of technical suitability of beamlines and/or components • Develop a detailed plan to be endorsed by NSLS SAC and NSLS-II EFAC • To be completed by summer 2008

14.
