Jefferson Lab’s Enabling Technologies: A Call for Strategic Planning

1. Jefferson Lab’s Enabling Technologies: A Call for Strategic Planning W. OREN JLAB Engineering Division 9 February 2012

2. Enabling Technology • Characteristics: • Essential to accelerator operations and the experimental program • Lab-driven: design, development, engineering and application • requires unique skills • Extends the Lab’s scientific reach • In some cases, provides efficiencies and cost-savings required for successful facility upgrades and new experimental equipment projects

3. Enabling Technology – A Refined Definition We need many enabling technologies but one could think of 3 different levels: • The product or service is not readily available outside the lab and our needs push the technology. (Cryogenics) • The product or service might be available outside the lab but we must have an expert to “manage” it. (Magnets) • We could buy it outside the lab but we really need to have it here to be successful. (Alignment)

4. Jefferson Lab’s Enabling Technology • Why include in strategic planning? • Enabling technologies are essential for success of the lab’s experimental program and scientific extensions • Strategic investment will sustain the core engineering capabilities needed to deliver scientific program • Targeted R&D will advance core technology and provide efficiencies and cost-savings required for successful facility upgrades and new experimental equipment projects

5. Enabling Technologies at JLab • Magnets • Superconducting • Normal conducting • SRF Engineering • Cryomodule/mechanical engineering • RF modeling and structures • RF controls • 2K Cryogenics • Detectors/fast electronics • High-powered targets • Beam diagnostics • Engineered safety systems • What else????

6. How Do We Sustain the Identified Technologies? These are unique technologies essential for achieving the scientific mission (where is the work??): • At Jefferson Lab • NP program & FEL (12 GeV, XX GeV, MEIC?, FEL??…) • At DOE/NP Laboratories • NP projects and experimental programs (FRIB, EIC, RHIC…) • At DOE/SC Laboratories and beyond • SC projects and experimental programs (NGLS, ILC, …) • International (ESS, …)

7. What’s Next? • Develop Lab’s strategic plan for science (Town meetings) • Lab Planning Group identify the key enabling technologies needed to achieve the scientific mission at JLab and, by extension, support the U.S. and international science community • Develop a strategic readiness plan for each enabling technology • Technology requirements • R&D, as appropriate • Resource projections • Schedule • Partnerships

8. What is Next? Jefferson Lab Mission JLAB Enabling Technologies JLAB Planning Group “What technology does the Lab sustain?” Readiness Strategy JLAB Enabling Technologies-Applied • SC Magnets • NC Magnets • Cryomodule/ME • RF Modeling and Structures • 2K Cryogenics • Detector & Fast Electronics • High-powered Target • Beam Dynamics • Engineered Safety • Technology R&D • Efficiency gains • Cost-savings • Expertise • Partnerships 12 GeV 50 GeV • NP at JLab: • NP at • DOE Labs: FRIB EIC • SC at • DOE Labs • & Beyond: NGLS ILC, ESS
