  1. SLAC All Hands Briefing:FY2008 Budget Persis S. Drell SLAC Director 1/7/08

  2. FY2007 • President’s Request for DOE Office of Science • $4.1B • FY2007 Allocated budget DOE Office of Science • $3.8B • Shortfall • $300M

  3. FY2008 • President’s Request for DOE Office of Science • $4.4B • FY2008 Allocated budget DOE Office of Science • $4B • Shortfall • $400M

  4. DOE Basic Energy Sciences • Allocated Budget FY07 $1.25B • President’s Request FY08 $1.5 B • Allocated Budget FY08 $1.3 B • Resulting shortfall nationally ~$200 M • At SLAC • LCLS Construction fully funded • PULSE space renovation in Bldg. 40 fully funded • LUSI project ramped up • SSRL approximately flat • XLAM and PULSE growth scaled back

  5. DOE High Energy Physics • Allocated Budget FY07 $752M • President’s Request FY08 $782M • Allocated Budget FY08 $694M • Resulting shortfall nationally of ~$90M • At SLAC • Projected FY08 HEP ~$120M • Actual FY08 HEP ~$95M

  6. Program Impacts @ SLAC • LCLS and LUSI construction will proceed • early operations for LCLS at the end of FY09 and CD-4 for LCLS in 2010. • SSRL will likely curtail user operations in FY08 by 15% • ILC program @ SLAC will be stopped for this year. The future is uncertain. • The B-factory program will terminate at the beginning of March

  7. Staffing Impacts @ SLAC • To cope with the budget realities of FY08 and prepare for FY09 • Involuntary layoff of 125 additional people from the lab • This is in additional to the program in process (announced Nov. 2) to readjust the skills mix at the lab to optimize the workforce for future LCLS operations

  8. SLAC 1 Year from Now • Opening new scientific frontiers with start of LCLS commissioning and subsequent operations • Continued strong user and research program at SSRL • Continued leadership in particle physics, astrophysics and accelerator research • Continued leadership in ultrafast science and advanced materials • Smaller laboratory staff • More effective mission support services • More focused scientific programs • Stronger ties to Stanford main campus • We should not underestimate the challenges but the opportunities ahead of us are great
