Analysis of FY10 and FY11 budgets for the LHC Accelerator Research Program, including contingency funds allocation and budget requests.
E N D
US LHC Accelerator Research Program BNL - FNAL- LBNL - SLAC Q&A 16 July 2010 DOE Review of LARP, Fermilab Tom Markiewicz/SLAC
Q2: Present the budget for FY10 and FY11 in a consistent format(ref: Eric’s first talk, page#10) Collimation - T. Markiewicz
Q2: continued • The FY10 Budget on slide 10 of Eric’s presentation was made after DOE announced that the total FY10 budget is $12360k. • It reflects the 10/1/2010 distribution of funds & holds back $2186.8k in “Management Reserve” aka “Contingency” • Eric’s Slide 11 lists the distribution of the first $1485k of this contingency • $701.8k of contingency remains held by DOE for release before 9/30/2010 Collimation - T. Markiewicz
FY11 • As • No GUIDANCE HAS BEEN GIVEN for the 2011 budget and as • We KNOW THERE is EXTRA APUL MONEY sloshing around • And have tried to motivate the worth and reasons for the more expensive program (FY09 reviewers advice: “don’t be shy about asking for more money”) • WE HAVE NOT PREPARED A CONSTRAINED FY11 BUDGET • Rather • We have presented a “BLUE SKY FY11 BUDGET REQUEST” • Once a budget is announced cuts in scope will be made to stay within budget. This has not happened yet. Collimation - T. Markiewicz
Accelerator Systems Part of FY11 Budget is in same format but is “Blue Sky”(Eric’s 2nd talk Pg. 4)4870k$ compares directly to $2951k Collimation - T. Markiewicz
Magnet System FY11, Eric Talk 2, Slide 7 Collimation - T. Markiewicz
Magnet System request in FY11 • As far as TWM can tell, Eric’s slide 7 (2nd talk) Magnet systems total of • $5700k compares directly with the $5016k on slide 2 (FY10, no contingency release) • The $5700+$1250 “contingency” on this slide =$6950k represents what Magnets systems expects to get as their traditional birthright after the dust settles in FY11. This number has been reverse engineered to equal the total Magnet System budget, after all contingency released, in FY09=$6952.2k. NB: in FY09 LARP total=$13000.5k; in FY10 LARP total=$12360k. • The “extra” $800k labeled as “long HQ” is a request for extra money for the extra scope of the program. A “Blue Sky” request. Collimation - T. Markiewicz
Program management FY11 • No specific program management budget has been requested yet • I presume assumption is that it will equal FY10 budget. • No specific contingency listed yet: presume it is zero • With all assumptions below is as close to an apples to apples comparison as I can generate Collimation - T. Markiewicz
Q3: What is your plan for delivery of the rotatable collimators that is consistent with CERN’s schedule? • We plan to deliver ONE prototype rotatable collimator ~Sept 1, 2010 for installation in the SPS Dec 2010-Jan 2011 • This is the only agreed to delivery. It is consistent with all known schedules. • We are discussing what other items we should deliver to thoroughly test all the parameters of the design in HiRadMat (eg: uncooled pieces of Glidcop) • There is currently NO PLAN WHATSOEVER to deliver collimators that might be installed in LHC as part of the Phase II Collimation Upgrade. We were told by Bruning that collimators in this series would be installed during the 2016 down. A technology decision of what to install will happen mid 2012 according to the present schedule. After that DOE & CERN will make some decision. Collimation - T. Markiewicz
