Shen • Experimental Facilities fully staffed as planned • Reporting and budgetary line responsibilities within NSLS-II project are unchanged in new Photon Sciences Directorate

  8. Beamline Baseline Scope & Budget • Following independent Conceptual Design Review (Oct 2009), external Cost Review (Dec 2009), and extensive internal analyses and discussions with BATs (Jan-Feb 2010), baseline scope and cost were finalized for all six project beamlines (PCR-10-108) • Overall strategy was to optimize the experimental facilities scope across the six project beamlines within the current budget • Consolidated efforts/resources to ensure the baseline scopes are designed to • Deliver cutting-edge initial scientific capabilities for each of the six project beamlines • Enable new user science in initial phase of NSLS-II operations • Minimize risks within the baseline scope given current understanding of beamline optics and technology • The full conceptual designs of individual beamlines are retained, including both baseline scope and scope additions required for upgraded capabilities • Scope items that are not in the baseline are identified as upgrade options and will be implemented when future funds become available

  19. Risks and Mitigation Plans

  20. Responses to PAC 2009 Review

  21. FY11 Goals • Start procurement of long-lead-time beamline components, and start to closely monitor vendor performance • Complete preliminary designs of remaining beamline components and endstations • Advance nanofocusing and high-energy-resolution optics development in support of endstation designs of HXN and IXS beamlines • Conduct an external review to assess optics progress affecting design decisions at the end of FY11; Start procurement of advanced long-trace profiler instrument for optical metrology • Start hiring experimental controls engineers to work on endstation specific controls • Develop a formal CD-4 readiness plan and a detailed commissioning plan for transition to operations • Continue to work with community and coordinate & support development of additional beamlines at NSLS-II

  22. Issues • Procurement process: many experimental facilities staff unfamiliar with DOE/BNL procurement documentation requirements and process • Started educational sessions with help from procurement group • Make use of examples and lessons-learned from experiences so far in the project • Plan to hire a manufacturing/procurement liaison engineer to assist technical staff in procurement process; PCR approved; Interviews ongoing • Unique endstation and optical designs for HXN, IXS, and XPD: require local engineering expertise and flexible production plan • Current plan is to design and assemble HXN and IXS endstations in-house, with a combination of vendor and in-house fabrications of different components • Also possible to outsource design effort as design-only contract to a vendor • XPD double Laue monochromator procurement will include development of a prototype as first article, with final system fabricated by vendor after acceptance of the prototype by NSLS-II

  23. Summary • NSLS-II project beamlines fully staffed as planned, with additional mechanical engineers and engineering physicists hired to engage in designs of standard beamline components and special x-ray optics systems • Excellent progress made in beamline designs and optics development • Beamline preliminary designs completed and documented; Design maturity meets the requirement specified in Experimental Facilities Final Design Plan • Procurement plans for long-lead-time components in place; Staffing levels consistent with procurement strategies at beamlines • Issues and risks identified and mitigation plans developed • Transition from design into production phase in progress
