4 GOALS OF ACCELERATOR STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM Enhance the accelerator technology capabilities of U. S. industry by engaging the U. S. accelerator R&D ecosystem in a manner that also enhances the ability of the DOE Office of Science and other federal agencies to carry out their missions Drive a limited number of specific accelerator applications towards practical, testable prototypes in a 5-7 year timeframe Foster collaboration between developers of accelerator technology and experts who apply accelerator technology Support basic R&D, necessary for sustained innovation across a broad range of accelerator applications E. Colby IPAC 2015, May 8, 2015

5 FY-15 STEWARDSHIP STATUS FY 2015 FOA Formulated with input from 3 workshops, the Accelerator Task Force, an Executive Order, and DOE-SC Offices Reduced Funding ($10M vs. $19.2M) led to a much-reduced program 98 LOIs  50 Proposals  6 awards 3 of 6 were funded at ~half of the requested amount; all were funded below request Many, many outstanding proposals could not be funded Some helpful advice for the future: Please read future FOA carefully! Topic descriptions are specific for a reason The benefits of the R&D should be strongly and clearly articulated and should cite documentation of the need Expect FY 2016 FOA will be later than FY 2015 FOA (June) by 2-3 months Will continue many of the topics from the FY 2015 FOA Informed by the Workshop on Energy & Environmental Applications of Accelerators E. Colby, IPAC 2015, May 8, 2015

6 Two Major Program Elements: Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility (“ATF”) is operated as an Office of Science User Facility dedicated to Accelerator Stewardship Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Pilot Program (“ASTFPP”) will explore making lesser-known SC accelerator R&D infrastructure more accessible E. Colby, IPAC 2015, May 8, 2015

7 UPCOMING STEWARDSHIP WORKSHOP Energy and Environment workshop is scheduled for June 24-26 at the ANL Visitors Center Format follows DOE Basic Research Needs (BRN) guidelines Participation by invitation only from co-chairs Interested parties should contact Eric Colby at eric.colby@science.doe.gov

8 STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM SUMMARY Eligibility for Accelerator Stewardship program is broad It is not a Lab entitlement program “Customer” must actively want (and ideally participate in) the activity Pure “technology push” is not sufficient This should be documented in all proposals Activities should accrue some measureable intellectual benefit to HEP and/or other Offices of Science Stewardship R&D should address high-impact challenges that Applied R&D: solve specific problems on ~5-10 year timescale Basic R&D: provide broadly useful accelerator science advances Near-term successes will be vital to the viability of Stewardship SC & Congress must hear from the customers that this is working E. Colby, IPAC 2015, May 8, 2015

9 CONGRESSIONAL ACTIVITES Climate for robust science policy & funding is unfavorable House Science and Technology (S&T) committee Reported GOP version of “America Competes Act” Rep. Lipinski’s amendment into the COMPETES bill, which just moved through the Science committee in April, will require DOE to study the capability of domestic manufacturers to compete for Office of Science procurements and for DOE to seek “Level playing field” in Science procurements S&T did not include direction for DOE to take corrective action Jack Dugan May 2015

10 LEGISLATIVE PROSPECTS S&T Dems not supportive of reported bill Senate prospects (?) of passage to be assessed Likelihood of favorable Senate consideration appears slim. Jack Dugan May 2015

11 SPAFOA PLANS & NEED Discuss Lipinski language & bill with Senate staff. Review all bill issues with House S&T majority and minority staff. SPAFOA members should educate their reps. & senators on the industry challenge of DOE Science’s “tilted playing field” for domestic & international procurements. Jack Dugan 2015

12 INDUSTRIALIZATION ISSUES European companies that are manufacturing 840 XFEL cavities were supplied tooling and on-site consulting by DESY. US companies were excluded from the bidding process DOE SC has invested over $100M in cavity R&D and prototype manufacturing TRIUMF proudly announced they produced the new SCRF tech based ARIEL accelerator totally within Canadian industry US SCRF manufacturing capability is essential for US to participate (i.e. get funding) in the future ILC or other major international projects

13 SPAFOA FUTURE As we hit our 10 year anniversary milestone, the forum needs to address the following operational issues: Assess the locations and formats of our members’ meetings Assess the objectives and content of our Capitol Hill briefings Examine our operations, look for options such a more member participation in meeting planning Look for a replacement for me
