Overall AS Status • Focus 2008: • Finalize AS Designs which require strong coordination with building design • Major milestones achieved since last ASAC: • CD-3 Approval Jan. 9, 2009; • Ring Building contract awarded; • Site clearing activities completed, • Preparatory Construction Work started. • Designs being completed in several key areas (girder, magnets, vacuum chambers) • significant progress in prototyping & testing (Magnets) • 2009Project Funding granted as planned ($103M) • Project expects to receive early funding • Focus 2009: the ramp-up of procurements
Charge • Focus on recent progress major subsystems with near-future procurement activities to offer a last chance to receive comments • Focus subsystems which were not extensively covered in previous meetings. • Specifically: • Review results on DA studies incl. the effect of ID assessment on proposed improvement of non-linear and chromatic correction system • Review progress on design of the injector system and comment on procurement plans for major components in the near future • Review results of SR magnet prototype program with respect to readiness to start the production soon • Review progress of the vacuum system; in particular the shielded bellow design & mitigation of beam heating issues • Review the superconducting cavity designs and procurement strategies for the RF systems • Review the development of the control system, definition of interfaces between controls and technical subsystems. • Review the major procurement plans, procurement strategies, assumptions made for the procurement schedule. • The Committee kindly requested to formulate responses in a written report expected to by 4-30-09.
Response to Recommendations Last Meeting • Comment on Staged Procurements: Project Default is phase funded procurements but funding situation has developed such that major ASD procurements can be fully committed • Comments on LINAC procured too late: Funding limitations removed, beneficial occupancy of injector advanced by 6 months, funding available pull forward LINAC procurement in FY09 together with frontend • LINAC Parameters within reach of Standard Technology, no frontend studies: 15nC/150ns routinely not commercially available • Focus on D.A with ID: Being done, but make only sense if NL lattice optimization sufficiently matured • Decker Distortions Necessary?: They are not in the baseline, will be part of the beam lines in the when fully build-out all beam lines, will probably implement one up-front and get experience • Effort to be made on XBPM: Recent workshop (organized by EFD) • Staffing to be increased in ID, Diagnostics and RF: $5M (~30 FTE) in Labor budget added in September • High Field Quality Necessary: NSLS-II strongly Touschek limited because of low emittance, high intensity and high intensity=New Regime, mechanism for DA reduction from high multipoles well understoodneed high field quality in center quads and sextupoles • Tracking with Engineering Tolerances and Non-systematic errors : Being Done
Response to Recommendations Last Meeting Variable Gap DW to control Emittance: Very expensive way to control beam size; because of DW, impact of ID relatively small: 400kW@25 devicesDPrad~8% Ds=4% Individually Controlled Sextupoles Everywhere: Benefit/cost ratio not obviously optimum, Could still be added any time by adding funds to PS and cabling Include RF into Booster Turn key: Vendors not interested Force Standardization of Equipment on Turn-key Vendors: Desirable, subject to negotiations the contracts, will eventually cost more money, needs to be seen High Field Quality too demanding, measurable?: Required Field quality can be met by vendors and can be measured, field quality was relaxed where D.A. allows, high order multipole in large aperture magnet measured with 30mm radius coil Flat Segments in Pole profile: Decided against to not compromise field quality Corrector Results: Available, meet requirement but concepts has been changed, not presented Building Vibrations Transferred to Tunnel: State of the art modeling says it is no problem
Vacuum Damage by Beam During Commissioning: High Intensity operation only after beam optics/orbit under control and safety systems tested, diagnostic works with single bunch, and at least down to 20% of design intensity : factor 5000 in Beam power, ID’s not installed, later gaps open initially, SR power from bending in commissioning: 0.5W ok for conflat flanges Boil-off N2 necessary: Changed to air, more expensive initially but will safe on the long run Sequence of Ring B.O. of Building Parts: Sequence changed in favor of early availability of RF and Injector buildings Dirty DI Water initially, filters: plan to purge all piping before connecting to components, filters good idea Availability: Availability Study done, 95% requires already MTBF above standard values for typical accelerator components

Bengtson’s presentations) • Relaxation of field specifications of quadrupoles and sextupoles assed • Dipole magnet field specification revisited • Usefulness of a 3rd chromatic know acknowledged: Alternatives for implementation: • - Use one of the Geometric sextupoles inside achromat or • - move one chromatic sextupole inside achromat • - decision pending, will use window of opportunity • Good progress in integration of damping wigglers • Progress in integration of IVU’s into the lattice (up to 10) : So Far not issue • EPU studies started • Lattice refinement, tolerance and flexibility studies continued • (longitudinal position, magnetic lengths, ps stability, working point flexibility, • TOP-OFF studies continued, need to take up speed again • Impedance assessment concentrated on vacuum chamber rogue-modes and BPM heating recently • FAST Ion and e-cloud instabilities assessed, do not represent a threat • Transverse Feedback Design Started • Fast Orbit Feedback and Corrector Layout re-optimized for Separated Function Correctors
