The AMO Instrument, led by John Bozek at LCLS, involves location changes and aims to study multiphoton and high-field x-ray processes in atoms, molecules, and clusters. The instrument design is in progress with a focus on optics, high-field physics chamber, gas jet, electron/ion spectrometers, and diagnostics. The final design reviews and component procurements are underway. The development timeline includes assembly, testing, controls, and data acquisition using EPICS for remote operation. Scheduled activities span from equipment ordering to online commissioning, aiming for completion by early 2010.

Remaining work to be Reviewed: • Focusing optics • Design/fab under contract with LBNL (Kelez) • Substrates ordered – 400mm long Si flats • Review expected in November • Magnetic Bottle Electron Spectrometer • Design/fab contract with Ohio State University • Already have a prototype – testing with laser • Review also expected in Nov.
Remaining work to be Reviewed: • Fluorescence Spectrometers • Late deliverable (i.e. not for first science) • Difficulty determining appropriate solution…grating vs. crystal, etc. • Slits, pulse picker • Recently separated slits from mirror tank – allowing us to pursue commercial solution • Pulse picker commercially available – late deliverable
Procurement • Utilize the LCLS procurement team • Hoping to use the Mechanical Fabrication Department (MFD) of SLAC to manage procurement/assembly • MFD tracks parts from order through assembly
Assembling the AMO Instrument • Assembly in the MFD vacuum shops by MFD vacuum technicians • Clean rooms • Vacuum bake-out • Welding/machining
