3 3 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Project Beamlines: LOI Reviews & Decisions Beamline and strategic planning workshops held January-March 2008 Received 11 Letters of Interest (LOIs) from groups wanting to form Beamline Advisory Teams (BATs) for the project beamlines and subsequent beamlines LOIs were reviewed by external reviews and Experimental Facilities Advisory Committee (EFAC). EFAC met May 5-7, 2008 and heard presentations from all 11 LOIs. EFAC report received June 2008. NSLS-II carefully evaluated the EFAC rankings and recommendations, and additional information in submitted LOI, external peer reviews, oral presentations and dialog at the EFAC meeting, as well as reviewers’ comments at technical and project reviews, and overall project priorities. Final decision on project beamline selection was communicated with DOE program office and announced at end of August 2008.

16 16 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES MOU and BAT Charter

17 17 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Main Elements of BAT Charter Beamline Advisory Team (BAT) is a small group of scientists who submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) to NSLS-II, representing a particular community, to propose a specific beamline based on a specific set of experimental techniques to carry out a particular scientific mission. Submitted LOIs are reviewed by external reviewers and by the NSLS-II Experimental Facilities Advisory Committee (EFAC), and approved by the NSLS-II. Primary role of BAT is to advise the NSLS-II Experimental Facilities Division Director on the scientific mission and the technical requirements for the beamline and to work closely with the beamline scientists during design, construction, and commissioning of the beamline. NSLS-II has the overall responsibility for the design and construction of the beamline, including hiring of staff. Major beamline revisions are to be made in consultation with the associated BAT and the community at large. Final decisions on any issues in the design and construction of a beamline reside with the NSLS-II.

18 18 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Need EFAC Advice on the Following … Does the BAT Charter adequately describe roles and responsibilities of the BAT? Does individual BAT membership adequately represent the particular user community for the beamline? To ensure high quality interactions between BAT and NSLS-II, we believe there is a need for formal communication channels between EFAC and the BATs: to periodically review how BAT is doing by EFAC, e.g. every 1-2 years; to allow BAT to register concerns and complaints about certain NSLS-II actions. Should NSLS-II have a BAT Council, consisting of representatives from all BATs?

19 19 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Beamline Construction Schedule Baseline CD-3 Review Procurement start EF beneficial occupancy Conceptual Design Preliminary Design Final Design Long lead time procurement Installation Testing Construction start Ready for Beam

20 20 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Project Beamline Conceptual Designs Finalizing X-ray optics and beamline layout; Optimizing insertion device specifications; Heat load analysis on x-ray mirrors and monochromators; Concept of end-station instrument; Iterating with BAT; Cost and schedule update

21 21 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Project Beamline Insertion Device Optimizations Studies on insertion device options: Oleg Chubar (XFD/ASD) Toshi Tanabe (ASD) New XFD/ASD joint working group on IDs: members include XFD, ASD, and NSLS staff; meets weekly to discuss ID options and specifications; current focus is on high-beta long straights. IXS beamline

22 22 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Project Beamline Heat Load Analysis Thermal analysis on x-ray monochromators Water-cooled Si mono. Max. slope error ~ 20  rad LN2-cooled Si mono. Max. slope error ~ 0.2  rad Vishy Ravindranath, Sushil Sharma (ASD) Lonny Berman (NSLS) Heat load analysis on x-ray optics are on-going for six beamlines Primary conclusion is that LN2-cooled Si mono is needed for hard x-ray undulator beamlines; Systematic study is underway.

23 23 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Hard X-ray Nanoprobe in Satellite Building Vibration isolation from main building 100 m long  larger working distance Concrete expt. hutch w/ acoustic damping Consideration of vibration isolation similar to EM, from ground up Air-lock entry and temperature stability …… N. Simos (CFD) vibration sources

24 24 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Laboratory Office Building (LOB) XFD effort on LOB programming requirements: Held several expanded staff meetings to discuss LOB space requirements Did detailed estimates on staffing levels and expected number of users, & their office needs Did detailed analysis on basic equipment needs that are required by most user groups in support of their experiments at beamlines Worked with professional lab planners from HDR on realistic laboratory layouts Held a town-hall meeting with broader community to discuss with the community about our current plan and invite feedback LOB design at CD-2 was baselined under certain financial constraints, and needs to be reevaluated. Expanded LOB design has been given the green light by DOE to proceed.

25 25 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Outreach to Community Six beamline advisory teams, with combined membership of >50 scientists representing a diverse user community, have been the main focus of community interactions during the past year. NSLS-II XFD participations in several community organized workshops and meetings, including: BER/NIH workshop on life science at NSLS-II, Sep.11-12, 2008 High pressure research workshop, Oct. 6, 2008 XAS community workshop, Mar. 6, 2009 Workshop on SR applications in microelectronics, Mar. 20, 2009 Workshop on SR applications in glass research, Apr. 6, 2009 Weekly beamline transition workgroup meetings Focused efforts in XFD on defining BATs, recruitment, R&D infrastructure, and beamline conceptual designs have made it difficult to be more engaged with the community during the past year. With more staff scientists on board, we fully expect that community outreach will regain momentum in the coming year.

26 26 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Responses to May 2008 EFAC Recommendations

27 27 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Responses to Previous EFAC Recommendations

28 28 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Issues and Outlook High resolution R&D programs, 1 nm and 0.1 meV, are very challenging; Outcomes may have impact on beamline designs  Need to design beamlines with built-in flexibility to accommodate R&D outcomes Interface activities with ASD especially in the area of insertion device optimization and front-end designs; may impact beamline schedule  Need proactive interface management and considerable interactions at several levels Recruiting and retaining best staff in XFD  Hiring of in the coming months will focus on nanopositioning eng., optical metrology expert, and beamline scientists.  Efforts to create and maintain a nurturing research environment in XFD and encourage discussions on science, R&D, and career developments. Managing priorities and interacting with BATs  Need open and transparent discussions with BAT so difficult decisions can be made with BAT inputs; EFAC input and advisory are welcome.

29 29 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Summary NSLS-II Experimental Facilities Division is making good progress in staff recruitment, infrastructure building, x-ray optics R&D, and beamline conceptual designs. Beamline Advisory Team selection process for project beamlines completed by CD-3. Beamline advisory team charter developed. Beamline conceptual designs, with full engagement of BATs, are well underway and on schedule. Considerable interactions with community and NSLS are on going, particularly in LOB programming and workshop participations. An increasing level of NSLS-II outreach activities are anticipated for the coming year, given much higher level of staffing in XFD. We appreciate EFAC input and advice on many topics discussed or to be discussed at today’s meeting
