NSLS to NSLS-II Transition Plans Steve Dierker Associate Laboratory Director for Light Sources NSLS-II Project Director Project Advisory Committee May 24, 2007
Transitioning to Operations • A phased transition to NSLS-II operations is planned: • CD-4a – Initial Operations • Beneficial Occupancy of Experimental Floor • Initial limited storage ring operations and limited user operations during installation and commissioning of beamlines • CD-4b – Start of Operations • All commissioning goals have been achieved • Transitioning from NSLS to NSLS-II • Plan to begin this transition as early as possible • Continue operations of NSLS until NSLS-II operational (CD-4b) • Move NSLS programs to NSLS-II between CD-4a and CD-4b • NSLS and NSLS-II staff merge to operate NSLS-II
Transferring NSLS Beamlines to NSLS-II • Goal: Ensure significant capacity for NSLS-II at the commencement of operation • Primarily techniques with high demand, high productivity • Mainly occupy 3-pole wigglers and soft-bends • Certain end-stations may go to insertion device beamlines • Expect to transfer about 20 beamlines, likely covering the following techniques: • EXAFS, SAXS, powder diffraction, scattering, PX, imaging, microdiffraction, topography, far-IR spectroscopy. • Estimate that these could accommodate at least 1300 users/yr • Approach has been endorsed by NSLS SAC and NSLS-II EFAC
NSLS & NSLS-II Staffing Profile Based on CD-1 Project Profile
NSLS-II Operating Cost at Full Operations Note: Equivalent to $110M in FY07 dollars
Summary/Challenges • Summary • Transferring NSLS beamlines greatly accelerates XF build-out • Developing plan for housing & merging NSLS & NSLS-II staff • Issue: Remote location of accelerator & management staff in NSLS building • Challenges • Defining policy for transfer of equipment from PRTs • NSLS SAC & UEC engaged; to be discussed at July NSLS-II User Workshop • Seeking MIE funding for remaining beamlines
