  11. The New SSRL Directorate

  12. SSRL’s Future Role within SLAC One of three pillars of photon science program at SLAC Ultrafast Center X-Ray Lab. of Advanced Mat. ……. LCLS SSRL Centers of Excellence SSRL program can maintain vitality for more than 10 years Science programs complementary to LCLS Important part of research in Centers is linked to SSRL Significant additional scientific opportunities exist Challenge is: Full utilization of SPEAR3 capabilities Identification of new opportunities Funding of new facilities

  13. SSRL administrative plans: • Create “Scientific Advisory Committee” (SAC) • in addition to • “Proposal Review Panel” (PRP) • SAC formation nearly complete • Review recruiting and retention (career) issues of staff scientists. • Task force to make recommendations • Charge drafted

  14. SPEAR3 - Opportunities and New Facilities • Opportunities identified over last 3 years by: • SSRL scientific staff, users and faculty • Plan supported by outside committee and by SSRL PRP • chaired by S. Sinha (UCSD) and R. Chianelli (UTEP, also PRP Chair) • List expanded by discussions within directorate / faculty First implementation stage has 3 year horizon (next DOE review in 2008)

  15. SPEAR3 - New Facilities • Funded and in process: • Structural Molecular Biology BL 12 (Caltech funded) • Soft X-Ray Facility BL 13 (DOE funded) • Hard X-Ray Microscope - TXM (NIH funded) • Proposals to DOE-BES 2005: • High Resolution Photoemission BL (under review) • Small Angle X-Ray Scattering BL (end of year) • Nanoscale Dynamics Research (end of year) • In planning: • Superconducting in-vacuum undulator source (Stanford (donor) / DOE) • - inelastic x-ray scattering station • - hard x-ray microscopy (STXM) station • Other - capture new opportunities: • e.g. high-throughput SMB bend beam lines
