March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman1 MAP Outlook and Guidance Michael S. Zisman* Center for Beam Physics Accelerator & Fusion Research Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (*with S. Geer) MAP Meeting–Jlab March 4, 2011

Outlook and Guidance - Zisman2 Outline Introduction News – management plan – budget process – proposal status – director search Challenges revisited Closing comments Kudos

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman3 Introduction This marks the first meeting of MAP – good progress in evidence on many fronts – pleased to see many new faces here! Still many ideas being generated – these must be filtered through L1 leaders before proceeding – we will be judged by our (focused) progress “making progress in all directions” will not be viewed favorably by reviewers or DOE

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman4 News (1) Management plan sent to DOE in December – after approval by Fermilab Director Still awaiting DOE response

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman5 News (2) Budget process is under way…albeit slowly – Statements of Work (SoWs) now prepared by Directors for each institution milestones (linked to WBS) specified by L1 leaders – SG/MZ reviewing now (ready next week) after our review, SoWs sent to institutional reps (  IB members) for their approval – forms to be signed by MAP Directors and Institutional Reps thereafter, SG/MZ will send formal request to DOE for funding distribution

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman6 News (3) Proposal status – at review, revised proposal requested November 30, 2010 updated text was prepared and revised budget was being developed – final review report specified revised proposal due date of June 1, 2011 to permit new MAP Director to prepare revisions in time for next DOE review – anticipate next review this summer – all work on proposal stopped at this point

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman7 News (4) Director search under way – search committee appointed Stuart Henderson (chair) Vladimir Shiltsev Dan Green Bob Palmer Don Hartill – job description prepared for public distribution to be released next week Not clear recruitment time scale compatible with June 1 proposal deadline – SG/MZ seeking guidance on how to proceed

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman8 Challenges Revisited (1) Handling 4-MW beam – progress made in resolving target radiation issue have initial solution that meets ITER criterion – study of downstream losses getting under way under IDS-NF auspices Souchlas

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman9 Challenges Revisited (2) Need for high-gradient RF – continuing RF R&D progress at MTA first beam arrived on February 28 – after a long gestation period Johnstone, Bross, Torun

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman10 Challenges Revisited (3) Need for ionization cooling – MICE magnets getting enhanced attention (Gourlay, Virostek) increased effort for Spectrometer Solenoids – we WILL meet our obligations! – MICE RF cavities all delivered (DeMello, Li, Virostek) – final cooling with 30 T now looks okay

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman11 Revised Final Cooling Palmer

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman12 Challenges Revisited (4) MDI/Backgrounds – massively parallel computing (Ryne) offers hope of fully detailed simulations of beam backgrounds compared with 1/100 of bunch today

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman13 Educational Aspects We learned a new word!

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman14 Goals We look forward at Telluride to hearing – finalization of target baseline – approaches to handling energy deposition in front end – HPRF results with beam – initial tracking results for “VRCS” – initial design for 3 TeV collider ring

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman15 Closing Comments We must continue to be focused and disciplined in our R&D activities – agreement of cognizant L1 leader on research activities is a must for MAP-funded work our success depends on being perceived as a program that delivers on its promises We need to advertise our program – please use MAP logo on slides for all talks – look for opportunities to give talks/seminars on MAP work We hope to see you at Telluride – June 27 – July 1, 2011

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman16 Telluride 2011

March 4, 2011Outlook and Guidance - Zisman17 Kudos Welcome to Muons, Inc. as members of MAP Thanks to Alex Bogacz and Kevin Beard for organizing meeting – thanks also to L1 leaders who assisted in planning stimulating agenda Thanks to excellent administrative staff for the hospitality we all experienced – Cynthia Lockwood, Stephanie Vermeire, Ruth Bizot Next winter meeting at SLAC (date tbd)
