  (PULSE) at SLAC/Stanford, associated with Linac
  Coherent Light Source (LCLS)

5
JINS

• Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (JINS) at
  ORNL/UT, associated with Spallation Neutron
  Source (SNS)
• One of the three institutes formed by UT as part
  of the bid to manage ORNL
• 6M State funding for the building (land
  transferred to state)
• Roles of JINS
• Science centers for SNS staff and UT
• Focal point for UT students/faculties providing
  offices, lab spaces, sabbatical, summer leaves
• Incubator of new ideas and collaborations

6
JINS (cont.)

• Organization
• Reports to vice chancellor for research at UT and
  ALD of Neutron Sciences at ORNL
• No permanent scientific staff
• Joint appointments
• 50 are SNS staff
• 25 are staff from ORNL research programs
• 25 are UT faculty and researchers
• Operating funding
• Space charge and small amount of UT contractor
  fee provide basic operating cost, estimated to be
  750K
• SNS provides 300K each to six science centers

7
PULSE

• Photon Ultra-fast Laser Science and Engineering
  (PULSE) at SLAC/Stanford, associated with Linac
  Coherent Light Source (LCLS)
• Established in 2004 to exploit the scientific
  opportunities offered by the worlds first hard
  x-ray Free Electron Laser
• Role of PULSE
• Perform research in ultra-fast materials,
  condensed matter physics, AMO, physical
  chemistry, structural biology, electron beams and
  x-ray laser physics (similar to a BNL research
  department)

8
PULSE (cont.)

• Organization
• Chartered as an independent laboratory of
  Stanford University (reports to V.P. for
  research), and a research division of the photon
  sciences directorate at SLAC
• PULSE director serves on LCLS scientific advisory
  committee
• Membership of the center
• Stanford Faculty and research staff on the main
  campus and at SLAC whose main research effort
  lies in areas central to the mission of the
  Center
• Operating funding
• Block grant from DOE/BES (7- 8 M per year
  requested in the renewal proposal for FY07-09)
• Leverage funding from other sources

9
Comparing JINS, PULSE, and JPSI

• JINS and PULSE are closely associated with a
  single university campus and a new facility
  without a large existing user base
• SNS will have a substantial internal science
  program that JINS will leverage. LCLS will not
  science programs will be concentrated in PULSE
• NSLS-II / JPSI is more like SNS / JINS, since
  NSLS-II will also have a substantial internal
  science program
• JPSI need not be restricted to association with a
  single university but instead provides a vehicle
  to engage the broader community in collaborative
  projects
• A large intellectual base exists within NY state
  institutions, BSA board universities, BNL
  research departments, and the NSLS user community
  for formulating synergistic relationships that
  will enable new science

10
Develop and Enhance Scientific Programs

• Development of scientific initiatives to meet
  emergent opportunities
• The extraordinary brightness of NSLS-II will
  enable major advances in a wide range of x-ray
  sciences, in particular x-ray imaging, the use of
  nanometer x-ray probes, and equilibrium/non-equili
  brium dynamics
• - Interdisciplinary research, in particular the
  interface between physical and life sciences,
  energy, bridging applied and basic research

11
Develop and Enhance Scientific Programs (cont.)

• Development of novel instruments and experimental
  techniques
• NSLS-II will have a sizable staff with diverse
  technical and scientific expertise, a unique
  resource
• Collaborate with universities, industries,
  research resources and BNL research departments
  to optimize the utilization of their expertise
  within the facility and to develop new
  instruments and experimental techniques for new
  scientific programs

12
Enabling Technologies

• Development of detectors
• Most of NSLS-II experiments will be detector
  limited
• Detectors should be integrated into the design of
  all scientific programs at the NSLS-II
• Note
• - BNL has a world class detector program
• - NSLS has initiated a small, but growing effort
• - NSLS/Instrumentation is contracted to build
  detectors for LCLS
• - Established collaboration with IBM recently
• - BES is likely to increase funding in detector
  RD

13
Enabling Technologies (cont.)

• 2. Development of optics
• - A wide range of optics will be needed to fully
  utilized the extraordinary brightness of NSLS-II
• - NSLS-II project optics RD program is very
  focused and has limited duration, but continued
  development of optics is planned for operating
  NSLS-II facility
• Detector and Optics RD infrastructure and
  equipment provided by NSLS-II as well as
  fabrication capabilities at CFN will be made
  available to researchers from universities,
  industries, and BNL research departments to
  enhance existing and enable new scientific
  programs

14
Gateway for NSLS-II

• Education and Outreach
• - Although 1/3 of the NSLS users are from New
  York, many institutions have not utilized NSLS
• - Targeted effort is required
• - Significant resources are needed to bring in
  new research groups

15
Gateway for NSLS-II

• Opportunities to work with industry
• - 6-7 percent of NSLS users are from industry
• - No organized effort at the NSLS to work with
  industry
• Opportunities to work with industries are there
• Congressional visits by users indicate the
  importance of industrial research

16
Training of Synchrotron Researchers

• Faculty whose research primarily uses a
  synchrotron play an essential role in training
  the next generation of synchrotron scientists who
  will become staff at SR facilities and
  industries, as well as faculty
• They are also essential in introducing other
  faculty to SR facilities
• These faculty are likely to participate in JPSI
  scientific programs, enabling technology
  development, and NSLS-II beamline development

17
JPSI Construction Project Management

• Work For Others (WFO) Project funded by NYS
• Must follow DOE O 413.3A on construction project
  management per WFO Order
• Tailor with NYS and WFO requirements
• Plan to use Project Management Support
  Infrastructure of NSLS-II for cost
  effectiveness

Preliminary JPSI Summary Schedule
20
JPSI Operations Assumptions

• JPSI begins full operations in FY2012
• JPSI will not be a regular BNL Department w/
  permanent staff
• All staff, including JPSI Director, would be
  joint appointments in JPSI, with their permanent
  home appointment in another BNL department or
  outside institution
• This supports the concept that JPSI is an
  intellectual incubator and allows teams to be
  assembled as required without the stove-pipe
  constraints of conventional dept structure
• 150 individuals occupy the space
• 1/3 would be NSLS-II staff w/ joint appt in
  JPSI
• 1/3 would be full-time staff from other
  depts/institutions w/ joint appts in JPSI
• 1/3 would be post-docs, students, visitors, etc
  paid for out of JPSI research grants
• Base operating cost for JPSI would be covered by
  NSLS-II Operations funding
• (Space, Fuel, Phones, Power, etc.)
• FWPs and grants would cover JPSI research
  programs and outreach efforts
• Light Sources Directorate provides general
  operations support
• ESHQ, Budget, Procurement, Facility Management,
  and other general support
• Paid for by LS Directorate Organizational Burden
  on JPSI salaries
• Estimated at 8-9, which is extremely cost
  effective

21
JPSI Estimated Base Operating Cost
Description Estimated FY12 Cost ()
On-site Services 62 k
Phones 150 k
Materials Service Contracts 250 k
Electric Power 233 k
Space Fuel 1,252 k
Other Direct Costs 35 k
Laboratory Overheads 1,519 k
Total 3.50 M
Propose that entire 3.5M be covered by NSLS-II
Operations Funding Current plan (agreed to by
DOE) is that NSLS-II will start early operations
funding in FY12
22
JPSI Research Funding

• Only needs to cover a fraction of member salaries
  in most cases since they presumably already have
  separate funding thru their home dept/institution
• Primarily covers post-docs, students, visitors,
  materials/supplies/travel
• Very cost effective since base operating costs
  covered by NSLS-II and org burden rate is very
  low
• NSLS/NSLS-II/CFN/Core Program facilities and
  programs provide a base that can be highly
  leveraged by modest JPSI research funding
• NSLS-II detector, optics and other enabling
  technology RD will be available to support JPSI
  activities without requiring large capital
  investments or large permanent JPSI staff
• The expertise and infrastructure provided by
  these groups will be available to NY State
  institutions, BNL research programs, and NSLS-II
  users to initiate scientifically and
  technologically relevant research programs

23
