  1. MIE/LCLS Management Organization John Arthur SLAC

  2. Who will do what • How will they work together

  3. LCLS Instrument MIE Project • MIE will build 4 instruments, and develop an advanced 2-d x-ray detector technology • Will build up in FY06, start construction in late FY07 • Will run through FY12 • TPC range = $50-60M

  4. LCLS • Will build an FEL x-ray source • XES group will build infrastructure for experiments • XES will build 1 instrument, and develop an advanced 2-d x-ray detector technology • XES will staff up in FY06, start construction in FY07 • Will run through mid-FY09, then enter operations phase

  5. Instrument MIE organization about 20 people Keith Hodgson SSRL Director LCLS Science Teams Jerry Hastings SSRL Asst. Dir for LCLS Science John Arthur Project Director TBD Project Chief Engineer Budget ES&H PMCS Database Purchasing Administration Inst #1 Instrument Scientist Engineering & Development 4-5 Engineers 2-3 Designers Inst #2 Instrument Scientist Inst #3 Instrument Scientist Inst #4 Instrument Scientist

  6. XES Group organization about 20 people Photon System Manager J. Arthur X-Ray Transport &Diagnostics R. Bionta Endstation Systems S. Moeller Science Advice J. Hastings Project Planning J. Scholes Controls 9 people Mechanical, Vacuum 2 people Lasers 2 people Detectors 1 person Atomic Physics 2 people

  7. Areas Where Coordination will Help • ES&H • Detectors • Science • Instrument design • Controls

  8. ES&H Coordination • XES group has responsibility for experiment safety design • Radiation Personnel Protection Systems (PPS) • Laser PPS • Designing safe lab areas • MIE has responsibility for communicating with outside scientists • Determine which user activities have safety concerns • Communicate SLAC safety culture to users • MIE and LCLS ES&H personnel will work closely together

  9. Detector Development • LCLS experiments need new detector technology • Dual development strategy for fast 2-d detectors • Several technologies look promising, no clear leader • LCLS will pursue one strategy • MIE will try a different technology • Both prototypes should be ready by 2009 • LCLS will hire a detector scientist to manage both efforts

  10. LCLS Detector Advisory Committee • Advises both LCLS and Instrument MIE • Independent experts (from Europe and Japan) • Held first meeting Feb 28 - March 1, 2005 • LDAC will continue to review MIE and LCLS detector R&D through yearly meetings, semiannual reports

  11. Science Coordination • Instrument MIE has a strong science component, plus strong links to LCLS science community • LCLS AMO scientist and Detector scientist will participate in science meetings sponsored by MIE

  12. Instrument design coordination • Instrument MIE will have a strong team of mechanical engineers, designers • LCLS will have good resources for x-ray optics

  13. Controls coordination • LCLS is developing a very strong controls group focused on experiment-source controls interactions • Instrument MIE will focus on experiment-specific controls, including data handling

  14. Key positions to fill • MIE Chief Engineer • MIE Scientists (3 right away) • LCLS AMO scientist • LCLS Detector scientist • LCLS Science advisor to XTOD group

  15. Coordination Risks + Mitigation • Major staff build up in FY06 for both MIE and XES • Get key people first • Get good project structure in place early • Overload on J. Arthur • Get good people in secondary management positions

  16. Summary • LCLS XES group and Instrument MIE will need to coordinate closely • Coordination is built into the structures and staffing plans of both groups • Success depends on creating good structures and recruiting good people • 2006 will be a crucial year
