LARP DOE Review 06/12/2006 - Shiltsev 2

#1 Show how you are going to spend the Accelerator Systems budget for the remainder of the fiscal year. Show specific actions. [Shiltsev]

#5 What are the plans for energizing commissioners and the training of young physicists? Note that the committee felt that Mike Syphers was running late with respect to recruiting. Need to get people in there early. Match up with mentors. [Peggs, Shiltsev]

• LBNL as a plan for spending their remaining money. Joseph Rasson, Jon Zbasnik and FredericGicquel will be spending 3.5 man months at CERN working on DFBX commissioning

• FNAL money will be used for commissioning efforts. All of the 5 commissioners slated for next year will spend 1-2 weeks at CERN working in groups so that they will "hit the ground running"

• There will be an additional 1 month of effort at Fermilab with M.Lamm for oversight, extra 10k$ % at FNAL

#5: Energize Commissioning


• Scale of the problem: Scale of the problem: – Assume 1,500k$/yr budget Assume 1,500k$/yr budget – Solution #1: 7FTEsx200k$ +0.1k$ to manage Solution #1: 7FTEsx200k$ +0.1k$ to manage

+ 250k$ extra travel expenses and + 250k$ extra travel expenses and

+ 250k$ to manage them + 250k$ to manage them

• For the next 4 years: – 28 long-termers (>1yr) or

– 80 short-term visits (3 mos)



• As of now we do have: As of now we do have: – Some 25 names, mostly “short-termers”, of those willing to go Some 25 names, mostly “short-termers”, of those willing to go

• Ways to go: – Account Instrumentation people willing to take part in beam commissioning and

post-commissioning• 5-7 people, needs communication btw L2s

– Attract people from Universities: • As of now we can think of 2-3 Professors (short termers) and 2-5 students (long-

termers)• Can be part of lab-centered programs, like FNAL Accel PhD program

– More Toohig Fellows:• Anticipate ~4 more in the next 3 years - all long termers• Pressure on Fellowship Committee to advertise and select

– Get more people from Labs… how?:• SLAC after PEP-II close-up: 2-3 seniors+2-4 juniors; need OK from the top• LBL and BNL: active campaign to attract short-termers (~10-15 total) which may end

up in getting ~4-6 youngsters to reside at CERN• (hard to count on FNAL – it gives what it can)

– Repetitive visits, at least for short termers (x2 40 needed)



• Current plan: Current plan: – Explore previously unexplored possibilities Explore previously unexplored possibilities
