MAP Meeting–JlabMarch 4, 2011
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 2
Outline
• Introduction• News– management plan– budget process– proposal status– director search
• Challenges revisited• Closing comments• Kudos
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 3
Introduction
• This marks the first meeting of MAP– good progress in evidence on many fronts– pleased to see many new faces here!
• Still many ideas being generated– these must be filtered through L1 leaders
before proceeding– we will be judged by our (focused) progress• “making progress in all directions” will not be
viewed favorably by reviewers or DOE
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 4
News (1)
• Management plan sent to DOE in December– after approval by Fermilab Director
Still awaiting DOE response
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 5
News (2)
• Budget process is under way…albeit slowly– Statements of Work (SoWs) now prepared by
Directors for each institution• milestones (linked to WBS) specified by L1 leaders
– SG/MZ reviewing now (ready next week)• after our review, SoWs sent to institutional reps (
IB members) for their approval– forms to be signed by MAP Directors and Institutional
Reps• thereafter, SG/MZ will send formal request to DOE
for funding distribution
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 6
News (3)
• Proposal status– at review, revised proposal requested
November 30, 2010• updated text was prepared and revised budget
was being developed– final review report specified revised proposal
due date of June 1, 2011• to permit new MAP Director to prepare revisions• in time for next DOE review
– anticipate next review this summer
– all work on proposal stopped at this point
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 7
News (4)
• Director search under way– search committee appointed
• Stuart Henderson (chair)• Vladimir Shiltsev• Dan Green• Bob Palmer• Don Hartill
– job description prepared for public distribution• to be released next week
• Not clear recruitment time scale compatible with June 1 proposal deadline– SG/MZ seeking guidance on how to proceed
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 8
Challenges Revisited (1)
• Handling 4-MW beam– progress made in resolving target radiation
issue• have initial solution that meets ITER criterion
– study of downstream losses getting under way• under IDS-NF auspices
Souchlas
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 9
Challenges Revisited (2)
• Need for high-gradient RF– continuing RF R&D progress at MTA• first beam arrived on February 28
– after a long gestation period
Johnstone, Bross, Torun
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 10
Challenges Revisited (3)
• Need for ionization cooling–MICE magnets getting enhanced attention
(Gourlay, Virostek)• increased effort for Spectrometer Solenoids
– we WILL meet our obligations!
–MICE RF cavities all delivered (DeMello, Li, Virostek)
– final cooling with 30 T now looks okay
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 11
Revised Final Cooling
Palmer
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 12
Challenges Revisited (4)
• MDI/Backgrounds–massively parallel computing (Ryne) offers
hope of fully detailed simulations of beam backgrounds• compared with 1/100 of bunch today
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 13
Educational Aspects
• We learned a new word!
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 14
Goals
• We look forward at Telluride to hearing– finalization of target baseline– approaches to handling energy deposition in
front end– HPRF results with beam– initial tracking results for “VRCS”– initial design for 3 TeV collider ring
March 4, 2011 Outlook and Guidance - Zisman 15
Closing Comments
• We must continue to be focused and disciplined in our R&D activities– agreement of cognizant L1 leader on research
activities is a must for MAP-funded work• our success depends on being perceived as a
program that delivers on its promises
• We need to advertise our program– please use MAP logo on slides for all talks– look for opportunities to give talks/seminars on
MAP work• We hope to see you at Telluride– June 27 – July 1, 2011
