  1. LARP CM11 MeetingWelcome, Introduction, and Budget Overview Eric Prebys Program Director

  2. Indroduction outline • Goals for the meeting • Overview of the FY08 budget and process • Some administrative details E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  3. Goals for this meeting • Communicate the FY08 budget • Make decisions • Set priorities • Begin to form FY10 budget • Major topics • lumi monitor status • rotating collimator status and plans • the future of crab cavities and larp's role in that future • LARP's role in PS2 • ongoing relationship of LARP and APL • The future of JIRS • Crystal collimation efforts E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  4. Structure of meeting E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  5. Problems with schedule • In the focus on big ticket items, we’ve neglected to make time for some of our important ongoing projects • Beam-beam • Electron cloud • Need to make a little time to include these things as we discuss next year’s budget E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  6. FY09 LARP Budget • Guidance from DOE • $13M with a 6 month continuing resolution at 84% • .5*.84*13+.5*13 = $11.96M • Separate money ($1-2M) found for APL planning! • General breakdown (informed by Steve’s exit advice) • Accelerator Systems: $2.9M • Magnet Systems: $5.0M • Program Management: $2.1M • Includes LTV and Toohig Fellows (of which we have 4) • Contingency: $2M • In then end, had to give up some continency to increase Program Management E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  7. Constraints • Luminosity monitor was expected to be complete by end of FY08 • Instead had significant overruns, and needs significant funds on FY09 (original request $1M -> $800k) • Still consider it absolutely vital for lumi to work! • Rotating collimators still a big budget item • Still consider it important to complete a prototype this year in time to at least be considered a solution by CERN. • Strong feeling that LARP should take a leading role in crab cavity development • Led by Rama Calaga • Support by CERN • General feeling that “the train is leaving the station”. • Magnet program still has to funded at a level that will insure a working magnet for the LHC Phase II upgrade E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  8. Process • Accelerator Systems • Iterative process, primarily involving Wolfram, Tom, Alex, and myself, to converge on the bottom line. • Key component: relying on labs to contribute labor in accordance with their core competencies (i.e. not charged directly to LARP)* • Key casualty: No real money for PS2, for which there was a great deal of excitement within LARP and at CERN • Will continue with contributed labor while we decide what to do for next year. • Magnet Systems • Much more monolithic than AS • L1 and L2 managers worked to stay within the budget *Will create “off-project” charge codes. Be sure to charge scientific time to them! E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  9. Programmatic • Not much leeway • Management costs determined by historical usage • Need to honor commitments to LTV’s and Toohig fellows • Only discretionary is Programmatic travel, which I have reduced by trying to include travel with the appropriate project. E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  10. Crab Plans • Original request: $700k • Cavity design • Cryomodule design • LLRF • Budget: $300k • Rely on “off books” help in cavity design from LBNL and Jlab • Defer cryomodule and LLRF work E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  11. Budget Summary E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  12. Accelerator systems details E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  13. Magnet systems details E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  14. Programmatic activities details E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  15. Lessons learned from luminosity monitor • Original plan • $2.5M • Finished in FY07 • Currently • Spent $3.6M • Need to spend ~$800k more • Finished in FY09?? • Bottom line • These sorts of overruns are not unusual in real projects! • LARP contingencies are far from sufficient to cover overruns in significant deliverables. • Proposal: develop a standing relationship with APL • Will be discussed in detail at CM11. E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  16. Improvements for next year • We’re already doing way too much • No new initiatives will be considered this year • The budget process must start sooner • That’s why we’re beginning to think about it now • Working to standardize budget estimates • Working with Ken Domann to put budget into a single MS Project, so different types of labor at different labs can be properly estimated. E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  17. Things to think about • Harsh reality: there’s more interesting stuff than LARP resources • Better to do a few things well than a lot of things badly • Hopefully, the luminosity monitor and rotating collimator will ramp down, money will free up for new activities • Those two projects account for $1750k out of the total $2900k AS budget • What will rise to take its place? • Crab cavities? • PS2? • Expand existing activities? • Final note • We will assume for now that recent incidents at the LHC will not affect our schedule E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction

  18. Some administrative details • Sessions will be held in two rooms • Race Track (Wilson Hall 7 Crossover) • Snake Pit (Wilson Hall 2, South East Corner) • Please load your talk or mail it to me prior to your session. • Keynote users, please also provide a PDF version • Coffee will be served outside the Race Track • Dinner will be 7PM tonight at Tribella, on Randall Rd. • If you haven’t registered, please do so before noon • $30/person for dinner • Included dinner gratuity, and (some) wine. • Please pay by cash or check (payable to me) E. Prebys - CM11 Introduction
