Preparations for Linac Commissioning

1. Preparations for Linac Commissioning Ray Fliller, Associate Physicist 8th ASAC meeting for NSLS-II Project May 10-11, 2011

2. Introduction • Linac Commissioning is scheduled to start November 7, 2011. It is anticipated to last until the end of the year. • Obtaining authorization is required prior to commissioning. The authorization process involves the NSLS-II project, the lab ESH committee, lab management and the DOE. • The focus of this talk is path to authorization.

3. Linac Commissioning Task Force • On December 15, Ferdinand appointed the Linac Commissioning Task Force who’s task is to coordinate commissioning of the NSLS-II linac • Members: • Ray Fliller – Injection Systems, Task Force Lead • Brett Parker – Injection Systems • Joe Delong – Controls • Feng Gao – RF • Om Singh – Diagnostics • Bob Casey – ESH • Andrew Ackerman – ESH • Mike Buckley – ESH • Randy Church – Operations • Mike Santana – Operations • Timur Shaftan – Injection Systems Group Leader • Jim Rose – RF Systems Group Leader • Ferdinand Willeke – Accelerator Systems Division Head • Meetings are held bi-weekly and as needed. • Current focus has been the Authorization Basisdocumentation required for linac commissioning in culminating in the Accelerator Readiness Review.

6. Linac Commissioning Schedule • Lab ESH committee reviews the Authorization Basis (AB) Documentation – April 12, 2011 – finished. • Deputy Director of Operation approval of AB documentation – package to DDO this week • BHSO receive AB Documentation for Review – May 28, 2011 • ARR Team Appointment – May 31, 2011 • BHSO Approval of AB documentation – July 8, 2011 • Injector Building Beneficial Occupancy Date - July 28, 2011 • Linac Installation Begins - August 11, 2011 • Linac ARR - October 17, 2011 • Linac Commissioning Begins – November 7, 2011

7. Immediate Next Steps • Develop the Linac Commissioning Plan and other necessary documentation • Linac Commissioning Plan outlines what needs to occur to be ready for commissioning. • Get necessary AB documentation approvals from DDO and BHSO. • Interface with Research Instruments to develop a linac commissioning sequence • A draft sequence exists. • I will travel to RI in lateJune with this as one of my tasks. • Finish High Level application requirements and specifications • Prepare to the ARR

12. Conclusion • Linac Commissioning Task Force has been assembled to coordinate commissioning tasks. • Task force’s main focus to date has been on developing the AB documents with ESH. • This is on schedule • The path to commissioning is clear both from ESH and physics point of view.
