A new initiative in photon sciences to leverage the unique capabilities of NSLS-II Strengthen the Laboratory's case to have NSLS-II sited at Brookhaven Previous New York State Governor George Pataki committed $30 million for the JPSI building Joint Photon Sciences Institute (JPSI)
Develop and enhance scientific programs that best utilize NSLS-II Develop enabling technologies to support JPSI programs that utilize NSLS-II Serve as a gateway for NSLS-II Educate and train the next generation of leaders in synchrotron research Mission of JPSI
1. Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (JINS) at ORNL/UT, associated with Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Photon Ultra-fast Laser Science and Engineering (PULSE) at SLAC/Stanford, associated with Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Possible Models
Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (JINS) at ORNL/UT, associated with Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) One of the three institutes formed by UT as part of the bid to manage ORNL $6M State funding for the building (land transferred to state) Roles of JINS: Science centers for SNS staff and UT Focal point for UT students/faculties – providing offices, lab spaces, sabbatical, summer leaves Incubator of new ideas and collaborations JINS
Organization: Reports to vice chancellor for research at UT and ALD of Neutron Sciences at ORNL No permanent scientific staff Joint appointments: ~ 50% are SNS staff ~25% are staff from ORNL research programs ~25% are UT faculty and researchers Operating funding: Space charge and small amount of UT contractor fee provide basic operating cost, estimated to be ~$750K SNS provides $300K each to six science centers JINS (cont.)
Photon Ultra-fast Laser Science and Engineering (PULSE) at SLAC/Stanford, associated with Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Established in 2004 to exploit the scientific opportunities offered by the world’s first hard x-ray Free Electron Laser Role of PULSE: Perform research in ultra-fast materials, condensed matter physics, AMO, physical chemistry, structural biology, electron beams and x-ray laser physics (similar to a BNL research department) PULSE
Organization: Chartered as an independent laboratory of Stanford University (reports to V.P. for research), and a research division of the photon sciences directorate at SLAC PULSE director serves on LCLS scientific advisory committee Membership of the center: Stanford Faculty and research staff on the main campus and at SLAC whose main research effort lies in areas central to the mission of the Center Operating funding: Block grant from DOE/BES (~$7- 8 M per year requested in the renewal proposal for FY07-09) Leverage funding from other sources PULSE (cont.)
JINS and PULSE are closely associated with a single university campus and a new facility without a large existing user base SNS will have a substantial internal science program that JINS will leverage. LCLS will not – science programs will be concentrated in PULSE NSLS-II / JPSI is more like SNS / JINS, since NSLS-II will also have a substantial internal science program JPSI need not be restricted to association with a single university but instead provides a vehicle to engage the broader community in collaborative projects A large intellectual base exists within NY state institutions, BSA board universities, BNL research departments, and the NSLS user community for formulating synergistic relationships that will enable new science Comparing JINS, PULSE, and JPSI

Development of detectors: Most of NSLS-II experiments will be detector limited Detectors should be integrated into the design of all scientific programs at the NSLS-II Note: - BNL has a world class detector program - NSLS has initiated a small, but growing effort - NSLS/Instrumentation is contracted to build detectors for LCLS - Established collaboration with IBM recently - BES is likely to increase funding in detector R&D Enabling Technologies
2. Development of optics: - A wide range of optics will be needed to fully utilized the extraordinary brightness of NSLS-II - NSLS-II project optics R&D program is very focused and has limited duration, but continued development of optics is planned for operating NSLS-II facility Detector and Optics R&D infrastructure and equipment provided by NSLS-II as well as fabrication capabilities at CFN will be made available to researchers from universities, industries, and BNL research departments to enhance existing and enable new scientific programs Enabling Technologies (cont.)

Education and Outreach - Although 1/3 of the NSLS users are from New York, many institutions have not utilized NSLS - Targeted effort is required - Significant resources are needed to bring in new research groups Gateway for NSLS-II
Reciprocal visits by NSLS staff and Columbia faculties Perform feasibility studies at the NSLS Several groups established long term research based at the NSLS, examples: Two new faculty use NSLS for structural determination One new faculty developed a new experimental technique to study magnetic switching dynamics in collaboration with the NSLS ( DOE research proposal pending) One new faculty participated in the development of new micro-diffraction beamline and instrument at the NSLS (DOE research proposal pending) One faculty is funded by DOE Growth of Non-Life Sciences Columbia Users
This effort is funded up to now with very limited NSLS funds More resources devoted to this effort will enable similar growth in other institutions Growth of Non-Life Sciences Columbia Users (cont.)
Opportunities to work with industry - 6-7 percent of NSLS users are from industry - No organized effort at the NSLS to work with industry Opportunities to work with industries are there Congressional visits by users indicate the importance of industrial research Gateway for NSLS-II

JPSI begins full operations in FY2012 JPSI will not be a regular BNL Department w/ permanent staff All staff, including JPSI Director, would be joint appointments in JPSI, with their permanent home appointment in another BNL department or outside institution This supports the concept that JPSI is an intellectual incubator and allows teams to be assembled as required without the stove-pipe constraints of conventional dept structure ~ 150 individuals occupy the space ~ 1/3 would be NSLS-II staff w/ joint appt in JPSI ~ 1/3 would be full-time staff from other depts/institutions w/ joint appts in JPSI ~ 1/3 would be post-docs, students, visitors, etc paid for out of JPSI research grants Base operating cost for JPSI would be covered by NSLS-II Operations funding (Space, Fuel, Phones, Power, etc.) FWPs and grants would cover JPSI research programs and outreach efforts Light Sources Directorate provides general operations support ESH&Q, Budget, Procurement, Facility Management, and other general support Paid for by LS Directorate Organizational Burden on JPSI salaries Estimated at 8-9%, which is extremely cost effective JPSI Operations Assumptions
JPSI Estimated Base Operating Cost Propose that entire $3.5M be covered by NSLS-II Operations Funding Current plan (agreed to by DOE) is that NSLS-II will start early operations funding in FY12
NSLS-II Operations Staffing Estimates • Estimated NSLS-II operations cost is $140M (FY14$) • Estimate that ~ 50 NSLS-II Staff would have joint appointments in JPSI and occupy JPSI space
Only needs to cover a fraction of member salaries in most cases since they presumably already have separate funding thru their home dept/institution Primarily covers post-docs, students, visitors, materials/supplies/travel Very cost effective since base operating costs covered by NSLS-II and org burden rate is very low NSLS/NSLS-II/CFN/Core Program facilities and programs provide a base that can be highly leveraged by modest JPSI research funding NSLS-II detector, optics and other enabling technology R&D will be available to support JPSI activities without requiring large capital investments or large permanent JPSI staff The expertise and infrastructure provided by these groups will be available to NY State institutions, BNL research programs, and NSLS-II users to initiate scientifically and technologically relevant research programs JPSI Research Funding
