Project X: Project Status & Progress Steve Holmes Project X Working Group Meeting June 30, 2011

1. Project X: Project Status & ProgressSteve HolmesProject X Working Group MeetingJune 30, 2011

2. Outline Agenda • Project Status (Steve) • Level 2 Appointments (Steve) • FY12 Budget Preparations (Steve) • Project Timeline (Dean) • Next Meeting • Action Items PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

3. Collaboration MeetingApril 12-14, SNS, Oak Ridge • ~70 attendees • Technical Progress • HOM absorbers • Chopper concepts • RF sources • SCRF acceleration • Operational experiences • Beam studies task force • Collaboration Council • Discussions of CD-0 strategy and draft Collaboration Governance Plan • Several comments and suggested edits on the Plan, but nothing substantial that requires a change in philosophy. PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

4. DOE/OHEP BriefingMay 10, Germantown • Goal of the Meeting: Establish a strategy for achieving CD-0 for Project X • Agenda • CD-0 Plan/Timeline – Steve • Mission Needs Statement – Steve • Physics Program/Workshop Preparations - Bob • Staging Options - Sergei • Cost Range – Jim • Collaboration – Steve • India Collaboration - Shekhar • CD-0 Timeline • It is clear that the Workshop is the critical path • CD-0 on New Year’s Eve requires a workshop in October • Workshop • Intensity Frontier Physics Workshop; not a Project X workshop although expect PX to be most significant presence • Focus on opportunities for U.S. leadership • Desire participation of Energy and Cosmic Frontier proponents • Suggest incorporate fields outside HEP • Venue is DC, shooting for October late fall • Co-chairs announced last week: Harry Weerts/ANL, Joanne Hewett/SLAC PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

5. DOE/OHEP BriefingMay 10, Germantown • Cost Range • Derivatives of cost wrt beam current and beam duty factor are close to zero • Derivative wrt beam energy is larger: 66% reduction in beam energy is 25% reduction in cost • DOE understands the possibilities for significant in-kind contributions • Continue to push for lower costs • Independent Cost Review • Should be based on the MNS -> after the workshop • India Collaboration • Emphasized need to have documents signed before August • Things we need to do • Support organization of the workshop • Update the RDR • Document cost derivatives • Complete the CD-1 plan • Produce single coherent document outlining the physics program PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

6. DUSEL Task Force Report • Briefing to Brinkman June 1 • Presentation to HEPAP June 23 • Analyzed options costs, not recommendations (FY11 dollars, Homestake 4850’) LBNE $1.2-1.5 B DM + DBD $0.6-0.9 B Total $1.6-2.1 B • Brinkman at HEPAP: Will evaluate and integrate decisions into FY13 budget • Fermilab Institutional Review June 6-9 • Suggest lab develop a joint LBNE/Project X strategy recognizing they cannot be constructed simultaneously in the current environment PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

7. Strategy • LBNE and PX cannot be constructed simultaneously in the current budgetary environment. • The Director has established a strategy of pursuing LBNE first, while developing an international partnership ready to construct PX as soon as the opportunity arises. • PX needs a strategy that recognizes the probability of a late (beyond FY16) construction start Goal: Be ready to proceed when the opportunity comes • Receive CD-0 plus a nominal start date from DOE as soon as possible • We need this in order to allow us to engage in discussion with potential partners • Continue to optimize the facility design for performance/cost • Pursue technology development focused on items critical to validating performance/cost goals • Complete R&D in 2014-2016 timeframe • Maintain near-final drafts of critical documents • RDR • Cost range estimate • Resource loaded schedule • CD-1 plan • Collaboration Governance Plan • Project Management Plan • Secure community support for the physics program • Assist DOE on the Intensity Frontier Workshop • Bring Project Scientist for Experimental Programs on board asap • Prepare a consolidated physics program document • Keep people meaningfully engaged in activities relevant to PX Should be achievable with annual PX budgets at ~$15M + flat funding in GAD/SRF/ILC + $5M/year for 3 years for the research program development PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

8. Strategy • Design development • Complete beam dynamics analysis of entire facility • Explore/identify bottlenecks to higher power (up to 4-5 mA) • Continue evaluation of overall systems optimization, including value engineering • Continue to explore staging options • Identify path to Muon Collider • Maintain up to date RDR • Technical development • Front end test facility: complete prototype from ion source through RFQ, chopper/MEBT, and initial stage(s) of acceleration (~10-13 MeV) • Looking at locating in CMTF (@NML) • Cavity development at 325 and 650 MHz • Explore alternative fabrication techniques and higher Q0 to reduce cost • Prototype 325 (SSR) and 650 MHz cryomodules (one of each) • Complete ILC beam tests at 1300 MHz • Prototype RF power sources at 325 and 650 MHz • Identify and demonstrate (@SNS?) H- injection scheme • Identify and demonstrate e-cloud suppression scheme. • Develop and test new 53MHz cavity for MI (ops or AIP?) PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes

10. FY12 Budget Preparations • FY11 Budget $10.5M • FY12 Plan $13.0M • We are developing the plan through the newly appointed L2’s in consultation with the Project Manager, Project Scientist, Project Engineer • Utilizes Project WBS • Utilizes OHAP resources categories • Will require change in task codes for FY12 PXWG Meeting, June 2011 - S. Holmes
