  1. Advanced LIGO Operating Budget (FY 2009) Philip E. Lindquist NSF Review of Advanced LIGO June 11-13, 2003 LIGO-G030272-00-P

  2. Summary • Prepared an analysis of costs to operate Advanced LIGO circa FY 2009 • FY2009 is projected first year of operations • Analysis done at summary level with detail provided by task managers • Analysis based on: • The current operating budgets for FY 2003 • The proposal budgets for FY 2006 • Data provided by task managers for • Livingston Observatory • Hanford Observatory • Technical and Engineering Support • Detector Support • Data Analysis and Computing • Funding in FY 2006 under cooperative agreement is $33 million • Original proposal amount was $34.7 million in FY 2006 LIGO-G030272-00-P

  3. Approach Identify various sources of potential cost estimate increases: • Basic LIGO—Escalation (3 percent) • Initial LIGO Request • Original request of $175 million vs. funding of $160 million • Initial LIGO New Items • Based on current experience • Needed whether there is an Advanced LIGO or not • Advanced LIGO Increment • Increased complexity • Expanded scientific mission LIGO-G030272-00-P

  4. Basic LIGO • Escalation (3 percent) • $33.0 million planned in FY 2006 • $33.0 million x (1.03)3 => $36.1 million LIGO-G030272-00-P

  5. Original LIGO Request • Original LIGO Proposal for FY 2006 was $34.7 million • $175 million proposal was funded at $160 million by NSF • Items removed included outreach, staffing for detector support and data analysis, high speed data transfer • Escalation $34.7 x (1.03)3 => $37.9 • 6.0 FTEs LIGO-G030272-00-P

  6. Initial LIGO Additions • Required based on current experience (whether or not there is an Advanced LIGO) • Increased staff and equipment for 24-7 operations • Additional support for detector, data analysis and computing • This is a new national facility • These increases would be proposed in the renewal request for FY 2007 LIGO-G030272-00-P

  7. Initial LIGO Additions LIGO-G030272-00-P

  8. Advanced LIGO Increment Additional staff and maintenance costs • Expanded scientific mission • Increased complexity of detector systems • Increased complexity of data analysis systems LIGO-G030272-00-P

  9. Advanced LIGO Increment LIGO-G030272-00-P

  10. FY 2009 Operating Cost Estimate LIGO-G030272-00-P
