  1. Accelerator Overview F. Willeke 8th ASAC meeting for NSLS-II Project May 10-11, 2011

  2. Outline • Overview of Progress since last ASAC • Progress of Accelerator Physics • Status of major Subsystems • Start-up of Installation • Preparation for Commissioning • Schedule • Remaining Issues and Risks

  3. Overall Status of NSLS-II Accelerator Systems • Design of NSLS-II Accelerator Systems is nearly complete • The procurement process is far advanced and contracts most of major subsystems have been placed. • Except for a few cases, the manufacturer’s designs have been approved by BNL and production has started • NSLS-II Accelerator Systems is well in production phase and completion of the large productions ranges from ~20% - ~50% • In-house integration of components is well underway • Installation process has begun • Preparations for commissioning are underway • Detailed planning for operations has begun

  4. Requirements Average Spectral Brightness: 1021·mm-2·mrad-2 ·s-1 ·0.1%bw-1 Spectral Flux Density: 1015·s-1·0.1%bw-1 @ 2 keV Accelerator Main Parameters beam energy: 3 GeV beam intensity: 500mA Intensity Stability 0.5%  Top-Off Injection mode small beam emittance: ex = < 1 nm rad, ey = 8 pm rad orbital stability: Dy < 0.3 mm RF Phase Stability 0.01 Degree Number of beamlines > 60

  5. Accelerator Physics • Top-Off Safety Analysis: • The new method of cascaded tracking turned out to be very helpful to detect extremely rare cases of particles entering into the photon extraction channel. Taking into account limiting aperture in the upstream part of the beamline frontend, these events can be completely suppressed. • The analysis has been completed and the results are captured in a formal report which will be reviewed in July. • LCM: For continuous 1Hz Injection: Need to confirm that injection losses occur in heavily shielded injection: Scraper system and glass-fiber rod Cerenkov loss monitor system defined and tested in NSLS • Neutron monitor for detection of losses in the septum successfully tested at NSLS • Linear Lattice: Reduction of horizontal beta from 20m to 3mm in the long straight appears to be possible with acceptable dynamic aperture • use of long straights for radiation devices is greatly enhanced and 6m long devices become more attractive

  6. Accelerator Physics Dynamic Aperture: A tolerance study has been performed which indicated that the magnet field quality tolerances for quadrupole and sextupoles can be relaxed (not the large aperture magnets, though) Accelerator physics to closely following magnet production and checks acceptability of each deviation from specified values (integrated field, field angle, magnetic length, harmonics….) Impact of installation of SCW upstream/downstream the center of the straight investigated  acceptable weak symmetry breaking Chromaticity: Acceptable solutions with positive chromaticity have been found (existence proof)

  7. Sextupole Correction Scheme The 3 super-periods of a pentant are powered in series  9 families of sextupoles, each containing 6 magnets Non-Chromatic Mirror symmetric pairs around LSS Non-Chromatic Mirror symmetric pairs around SSS shifted shifted tunnel mezzanine Chromatic Sextupoles Translational Symmetric from achromat to achromat (Breaks weakly overall mirror symmetry) Mitigation of Db3 effect: sort sextupoles in 6 bins

  8. Designs Completed since last ASAC • Beamline Frontends, final design review in October ‘10 • Vacuum shielded bellows were reviewed in September ‘10 and redesigned • Synchrotron Radiation Absorbers were reviewed in September ‘10 and redesigned • S4A Inconel vacuum chamber was redesigned based on extruded Aluminum • Damping Wiggler Chamber • Damping wigglers • EPU undulators • IVU and SRX undulators • Superconducting Cavity design • Cryogenic plant • Transfer-line magnets • DI-water pumping skid • Main Power supply • Storage Ring Pulsed Injection Magnets • …

  9. Major Designs being Completed Beam Position Monitor Electronics In-house development of BPM electronics went quite well. Performance tests with beam (at ALS) and in the laboratory on prototypes confirm that the demanding NSLS-II parameters (0.2mm resolution & stability) are met. The final layouts of the analog and digital PCB now in progress with start of procurement in July ’11 (injector BPMs) and October ‘11 (Storage Ring BPM) Insertion Device In-Vacuum Undulator IVU22 This high flux device is optimized for installation in a long straight where it produces 9 keV radiation with gets filtered down to an energy width of only 0.1 meV on target. After exploring several options, the decision has been made to move forward with the design of a 3m long room temperature in vacuum device. A reference design has been completed, specifications are being developed Beamline Frontends: Drawings being finalized and procurement docs in preparation (Glidcop for mask-, absorber-, and slit- systems ordered)

  13. Injection Systems LINAC: ► production underway: gun, accelerating structures, modulators, klystrons progress as planned, ► NSLS-II benefits from lessons learned at previous productions (solid state modulator mechanical design, no glued cooling channels on acc. structures, etc) ► ambitious gun-pulser behind schedule  go with a more simple device(existing design) in parallel which is adequate for commissioning; commissioning preparations started ► Delivery and Start Installation: Mid-August 2011, injector building ready end of July (tight) ► Preparation of commissioning started (ASE and SAD documents completed) Booster:► Design reviews went well and on schedule, large number of special components provided by BNL ► prototype production started, dipoles, quadrupoles sextupoles already available, vacuum chamber production started, pulsed magnet design progressed well, well advanced, still on track ► Delivery: January 2012 Transferlines: Magnets in production, vacuum design in progress, production of LTBTL vacuum systems will start soon, diagnostics in production (in particular OTR/ Luminescence screens). Power supplies in production Injector Mechanical and Electrical Utilities: Tight schedule because injector building is late (concern) Pulsed Magnets for SR: Conceptual design studies performed, pulsed magnet lab for prototyping and measurements set-up, procurement for kicker and septa magnets and pulsers started, RFP published in April.

  14. Storage Ring Magnets Start-up of storage ring magnet production was delayed by up to 6 month due to technical difficulties. NSLS-II worked with the vendor to get the problems under control, at this point all technical issues with quadrupoles, sextupoles and correctors are resolved, most vendors are in production Status: Quadrupoles: Production of 60 25cm and 60 40cm quadrupoles at BINP started in February, 50% of the work for 60 25cm magnets already completed, 5 magnets received, 9 further magnets ready for shipment Quadrupoles : Production of 90 symmetric and 30 non-symmetric 25cm long quadrupoles expected to start in June, as technical problems appear to be solved, PRR on May 20. Sextupoles: Production 160 symmetric sextupoles at Danfysik well along, 30% of the production completed Sextupoles: Production of 75 wide sextupoles started at IHEP, IHEP is in full production since January but has completed only 5 magnets, 39 magnets in different stages of the production Large Aperture Quadrupoles and Sextupoles: Production of quadrupoles started, production of sextupoles expected to follow in May’11 Dipoles: Problem with delamination, manufacturer has built new assembly hall with improved curing furnish, transverse dimensions increased, first 90mm dipole received

  15. Magnet Production and Girder Installation At this point ~20% of the magnet production effort has been accomplished 99 magnets have been received, 47 magnets have been accepted So far no impact on end of girder installation milestone

  16. Girder Integration • Magnets received form a vendor undergo thorough acceptance testing in the magnet facility of building 902. • After electrical and mechanical tests, and survey on each magnet magnetic measurement are performed (initially all magnets are measured in-house) • Then magnets are pre-aligned on girders and high precision-aligned in the environmental room • Solving the technical problem with production required intense work on magnet measurement and handling (separating magnet halves). This provided good training for the full production with 17-20 magnets per week • All the alignment fixtures and procedures have been refined. • The first girder was fully assembled in March including magnets, vacuum and diagnostics components and support systems. Unfortunately some of the magnets on that girder were damaged during air shipment and had to be sent back to the manufacturer

  17. First Fully Integrated NSLS-II Magnet Girder

  18. Power Supply System • NSLS-II Power Supplies • are designed in house • MP and Corrector PS: • Combination of • in-house designed components and • standard vendor components, • In-house integration • Most procurements are well underway. • Power supply installation will start in June. • First power tests could be carried out in August’11

  19. Electrical Utilities • Equipment enclosures are in full production now • 50 % of the production was already delivered to BNL • Production will not be limited by the vendors manufacturing capabilities • Installation of equipment enclosures on the ring building mezzanine has started • All cable for NSLS-II has been received and is stored on site, • Installation of AC connection from load panel to racks will start in this month • Cable trays have been outsourced to building contractor, cable trays for the tunnel and the mezzanine of pentant 1 are completed. • Delivery of the UPS has started, all systems for pentant 1 and 2 received in the ring building • Based on Booster PS design, the electrical utilities in the injector building is modified and re-optimized.

  20. RF • RF transmitters for Storage Ring (2 systems) and Booster in production after successful design final reviews last months • Contract for the cryogenic lq He plant has been awarded in February. This will be a vendor designed, produced, installed and commissioned turn-key system • Non-linear Stress analysis for the SSC was successfully completed and the system has been found in compliance with BNL safety regulations. Among the modification is the increase of the wall thickness from 2.5 mm to 3 mm • Contracts for 2 CESR-B type 500MHz single cell superconducting cavities was awarded in April • The 3rd harmonic double-cell passive superconducting cavity which was designed in-house has been built by the company Niowave under an SBIR. The cavity will be delivered to BNL where we will mount to external HOM absorbers • The NSLS-II low level RF controls were successfully tested with beam at the Canadian Light Source. The test confirmed that the system meets specification. Direct comparison with existing LLRF systems show the superiority of the new NSLS-II system

  21. Instrumentation • Storage ring BPM button production has progressed well (though not without issues) • The in-house development of the BPM electronics is quite successful so-far. Analogue and digital boards have been developed, interactively prototyped and successfully tested with beam. The demanding resolution and stability requirement of 0.2 microns for averaged orbit data can be achieved even without the foreseen continuous relative calibration of the 4 input channels. Production of the nits for the injector will start in July and the storage ring production will start in October 2011. • Design of optical monitoring is nearing completion. Locations have been agreed upon with EF, hatches and detection systems have been designed • Active damper system design is well advanced. Power amplifier orders were placed in March Enclosure for Optical Beam Monitoring

  22. Agreed Upon Locations of Storage Ring Diagnostics Systems

  28. Commissioning • Preparation for commissioning has continued • The formal documents needed to obtain permission to commission the LINAC with beam (ASE and SAD) have been developed and reviewed by the Laboratory safety committee • There were only a few issues to be resolved • Committee recommended to proceed with the authorization procedure • A effort has been made to provide a database containing all data needed for commissioning the accelerator chain • Data processes and data structures are being defined

  29. Accelerator Schedule DESIGN Production Installation Testing Commissioning

  30. Accelerator Systems – Cost & Schedule Performance

  31. Analysis of Schedule Delays • If BCWS is shifted by 3 months, BCWS and WBWP are on top of each other • There is a 3 months accumulated delay • so far no signs that the situation is getting worse despite increasing absolute schedule variance • Contributions to schedule variances which are incorrect and to be fixed: • LINAC is ahead of schedule but shows 993k$ of variance due to unfortunate choice of milestones • DW is more or less on track but there is a reporting issue

  32. Remaining Risks Many of the risks of Accelerator systems have been reduced and some risks have been retired. However the schedule risk with magnets and superconducting cavities became more severe New risk on installation labor shortage has been mitigated with a recent PCR ($3M)

  33. Summary • NSLS-II accelerator systems have moved successfully into production of components in industry • Large progress has been made recently in completing designs and procurement • The majority of large (>$100k) and critical procurements (technically challenging, few vendors) are completed (~80%) and the production of components in industry has started, • The most critical area are magnets where, despite considerable technical progress, production is not yet at full rate and is about 6 months behind schedule • Other large productions such as LINAC, Booster, vacuum chambers, vacuum pumps, equipment enclosures have progressed well with a significant fraction of the production already completed • Most of the technical challenges have been met; there are no major technical issues left, the main challenge remains to keep the accelerator schedule under control • AS is about three months behind schedule (constant since 2009) which is within the available float; however there is no room for further significant delay • On average, ASD procurements are within budgeted costs. Cost of several critical systems remained below budgeted cost which made room for cost increase in some areas • Contingency has been used for scope increase (2nd transmitter) and adjustment of the labor resources • Installation has started but in progressing quite slowly • Overall accelerator systems are proceeding steadily towards completion of the project
