1. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration1 We have been asked to identify areas of PIP and other accelerator projects that could benefit from collaboration with universities  This was initially a response to PIP FY13 cuts  Easiest way is to just transfer a whole lot of money  This has now been extended to all Proton Source and MI/RR – not PIP exclusive Three types of assistance are under consideration:  Machining, technical, academic Goals:  Save money  Finish earlier  Do more What this program will not do:  We will not ship lab money to universities to pay for people which would otherwise employ Fermilab people  While we may pay for shop work, it will only be done if there is a cost advantage and our shops continue to be busy

2. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration2 Model Previous model – mid ‘00s  One liaison on lab side (Prebys) Projects in Linac, Booster, Main Injector  One liaison on experimental side (Michael) Activity form MINOS & MiniBooNE institutions Model for this process still being developed  We are generating a list of projects now – need your help  2 nd floor will have a meeting with experiment spokespersons and advertise the list Need there to be mutual benefit  PIP: Inexpensive machining and technical/academic help  Universities: business for their shops, topics for students and technicians

3. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration3 Types of Work Machining  University shops are available at low- or no-cost  This work would displace work that would otherwise be done at our shops or farmed outside As long as our shops stay fully subscribed Technical  Some universities have full-time technicians on staff They may be willing to send these people to Fermilab (at no cost) full-time for extended periods of time  This work would accelerate jobs where we are short-handed Academic  Universities have offered graduate students or postdocs for extended periods at half- or full-time effort  These jobs can be of a wide variety – need not to be specifically scientific Universities view this as a way to get hardware experience for their students Jobs can be operational, scientific, technical, etc. Ultimately, their scientific interest is getting more protons to their experiments

4. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration4 Examples - Machining Basic – support stands, racks Precise, but straightforward – CNC machining to good drawings (cone castings), waveguides Detailed work: cavities, magnets, vacuum systems Anything that may have been farmed out to an outside shop should be open game

5. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration5 Examples - Technical Simple jobs that require some quality: stuffing boards, making cables Assisting on complicated projects: cavity refurbishment, tuner refurbishment

6. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration6 Examples - Academic Physics projects: optics, simulations, laser-notchers, dampers Operations projects: tuning, commissioning, optimization Instrumentation/hardware: cavity monitoring, application development, Pie-in-the-sky: AI tuning, speculative instrumentation

7. Nov. 28, 2012 PIP-University Collaboration7 Summary We will proceed with this collaboration effort to help PIP (proton delivery)  Help: Machining, Technical, Academic  Goals: Save $, do earlier, do more Immediate task is developing a comprehensive list of projects  Need help from everyone – I would like to hear from all L4 managers, even if it is to say they have no topics  Projects can arise as time goes ahead  Info needed: description, type of effort, discussion of resources or effort We expect interaction with the experiments in December  Some machining projects could start immediately if there are burning needs  Other items would likely start next year
