  1. Photon Sciences Portfolio & Future Planning Steve Dierker Associate Laboratory Director for Photon Sciences Project Advisory Committee February 8-9, 2011

  2. NSLS Facility 2.8 GeV 300 mA • Operating Beamlines • VUV-IR X-ray Total • Facility 6 15 21 • PRT 5 33 38 • ALL 11 48 59 800 MeV 1000 mA • Operating since 1982 • Continued good reliability (95+%)

  3. NSLS Continues to be Very Productive • Accelerators are aging but continue to operate with high reliability • Operations funding $39M in FY10 but $36.5M in FY11 under CR • 142 FTEs on operations funding, 20 more on other funds • ~ 2200 users/year and more than 900 publications/year • Premier publications (impact factor > 6) represent ~25% of total

  4. Science Capabilities at CD-4 and Beyond • Science Program Goals: 1) Very fast ramp up of science program 2) Continuous service to user community 3) Dramatically advanced capabilities and high productivity • Transition to NSLS-II operations involves evolution from NSLS operation and NSLS-II construction to NSLS-II operation, all the while continually hosting a large user community and renewing the scientific facilities • Must develop a substantial number of beamlines and transition staff and users from NSLS ops to achieve maximum scientific productivity as soon as possible • Requires coordinated planning and an integrated staffing plan for all activities • Draft NSLS-II User Access Policy issued last March • Expect to finalize at upcoming April SAC meeting • Issued Beamline Development Policy and solicited proposals for NSLS-II beamlines last March • 2011 call will be issued this month

  5. Beamline Development Process The Letter of Intent (LOI) identifies the beamline Proposal Team that intends to submit a Beamline Development Proposal (BDP) and provides a brief description of the science program and type of beamline The BDP describes the scientific programs that such a beamline would serve and the main technical requirements that the beamline must meet to enable those programs (10 pages) The Beamline Project Execution Plan (BPEP) describes the membership of the Beamline Advisory Team (BAT), the plan for formation of the Beamline Development Group (BDG), the plan for managing and executing the design and construction of the beamline, the pre-conceptual technical design, the preliminary cost and schedule estimates, and a commitment for the necessary funding

  6. Beamline Project Execution Plan • Approval of a BDP authorizes development and submission of a BPEP • The BPEP presents the plans for beamline project execution, including the scientific need and justification; project objectives and description; management systems; environment, safety, health, and security; resource planning; transition to operations; project controls (management, baseline, and change control); and reporting • Upon approval of the BPEP, a Beamline Development Agreement will be executed between NSLS-II and the BDG that outlines the rights and obligations of the BDG and assigns a beamport and experimental floor space for use by the beamline • Some of the required elements include: • Beamline Advisory Team membership • Staffing plan for Beamline Development Group • Management Plan • Pre-conceptual Design • Preliminary Cost and Schedule Estimate • Funding Commitment

  7. 2010 Call forBeamline Development Proposals • Scope • Any area of science • Any beamline type – ID, BM, 3PW, IR • Independent of funding source or implementation approach (i.e., new, reused, who builds – Type I: Photon Sciences, Type II: external group) • Science case and technical requirements • Schedule • Issued on March 26 • Beamline Development Informational Meeting held on April 14 • Letters of Intent received on April 26 • BeamlineDevelopment Proposals received on June 21 • Reviewed by Science Advisory Committee & 7 Study Panels • Results announced Oct 4 • Future calls will be issued on an annual basis

  9. Scientific Areas of Beamline Development Proposals • 54 Beamline Development Proposals received by June 21, 2010 • 7 SAC Study Panels, consisting of 51 external scientists, were set up to meet at BNL and review these 54 proposals • SAC Study Panel Meeting Schedule: • Biological & Environmental ChemistryThursday-Friday, July 8-9, 2010 • Materials ScienceMonday-Tuesday, July 12-13, 2010 • Advanced Eng. Materials StudiesTuesday-Wednesday, July 13-14, 2010 • Condensed Matter PhysicsMonday-Tuesday, July 19-20, 2010 • Structural BiologyTuesday-Wednesday, July 20-21, 2010 • Structural Chemistry & CatalysisWednesday-Thursday, July 21-22, 2010 • Imaging & Microscopy Thursday-Friday, July 29-30, 2010

  10. Existing and New Scientific User Communities • These 54 Beamline Development Proposals cover a broad range of science areas and scientific user communities, including both existing and potentially new user communities in each of the science areas Existing Program New Program • Proposal Team Members • 668 Total • 421 Unique • 43% current NSLS users

  11. Evaluation Criteria • Science Case: Does the research enabled by establishment of the proposed beamline have the potential to address important scientific and/or societal questions? • User Demand: Is there evidence of significant interest, engagement, and support for the proposed beamline facility by the scientific community? • Performance: Will the proposed beamline provide the performance necessary to fulfill its scientific mission, with characteristics well matched to the NSLS-II source? • Technical Feasibility: Is achieving the proposed beamline capabilities technically feasible? • Quality of Proposers: Are the proposal team members experienced in the proposed field of research and technique and are they representative of the corresponding user community that would be served by the beamline? • The Study Panels produced a Summary Assessment for each BDP containing specific comments on strengths and weaknesses and scores from 1 to 5 for each review criteria Score Descriptor Scoring Guidelines 1 Outstanding Exceptionally strong with negligible weaknesses 2 Excellent Very strong with minor weaknesses that can be easily addressed 3 Very Good Strong but at least 1 moderate weakness that would lessen impact 4 Good Some strengths but at least 1 major weakness that severely limits impact 5 Fair Very few strengths and major weaknesses that lead to very little impact

  12. BDP Review & Outcome • Review Process • SAC Study Panel evaluations of written proposals & oral presentations, based on: • Science Case, User Demand, Performance, Feasibility, Quality of Proposal Team • SAC discussed all BDPs and sought a balanced overall assessment, based on: • Study Panel reports • balance of techniques and science areas • Outcome: • 31 Type I BDPs approved, 3 Type II BDPs approved, 20 Type I BDPs not approved • “Approved” in “mission need / CD-0” sense; funding is not assured • Next Steps: • During September and October, we prepared preliminary cost estimates, with a common basis of estimate, and defined initial and mature scope, for the approved Type I BDPs that were most promising for receiving near term funding • In November, we discussed beamline recommendations with BES based on results from SAC review and preliminary cost estimates

  13. 34 Approved Beamline Development Proposals

  14. Beamline Distributions(Project + Approved Beamlines) Science Source

  15. Science Villages • Science Village concept has been widely advocated by scientific community and we strongly support this concept • Idea is to co-locate beamlines likely to be utilized by a specific scientific community, after satisfying physical constraints on beamline locations • These co-located beamlines, along with nearby Laboratory Office Buildings (LOB), will serve as the foundation of “Science Villages” • LOB in a Village may house ancillary instruments to provide off-line experimental capabilities for the community, as well as serve as a primary meeting place for colleagues & co-workers • Staff and users at co-located beamlines in a Village may share beamline instrumentation and learn from each other’s experience and expertise

  16. Possible Science Villages at NSLS-II • Possible Science Villages aligned with LOBs: • Condensed matter & materials physics (CMP) • Materials science & engineering (MSE) • Environmental & heterogeneous materials science (EHM) • Biology and soft matter science (BSM) • Chemical science and catalysis (CSC) • Distribution if all project and approved beamlines were built: VillageBeamlinesOpen CMP 11 4 MSE 7 6 EHM 6 6 BSM 13 3 CSC 6 5 • 43 beamlines • 9 project (CSX, XPD, SRX dual) • 34 approved • 24 Open Ports • 6 Insertion Device straights • 18 BM/3PW ports
