SCRF ACCELERATOR INDUSTRY STEWARDSHIP OUTLOOK Ken Olsen SPAFOA Fermilab Meeting Nov. 13, 2012

Presentation Outline SPAFOA Update Background (ref events and docs) Industrialization Goals Industry and markets International activities SCRF Industry outlook Industry issues

SPAFOA Evolution Chartered in 2005 as a 501 (c) 6 not for profit DC corporation titled the “Linear Collider Forum of the Americas” (LCFOA) Reorganized in 2008 to the Superconducting Particle Accelerator Forum of the Americas (SPAFOA) with the changes to the ILC activities Renamed in 2012 to the Superconducting Particle Accelerator Forum of America to reflect 100% US industry membership Current membership totals 28 ~75% small high tech businesses in 15 States

SPAFOA Mission Tech Transfer: Enhance US industry’s communications with DOE, labs, and universities to incorporate industry in RD&D as a early partner (mutual benefits) Fair Procurement Policies: Promoting Government procurement policies that level the playing field for US suppliers (US jobs with US dollars) Accelerator Applications: Identification of new accelerator applications for SCRF technology for US industry (growth businesses)

SPAFOA Meetings/Briefings Conduct three member meetings/year at National Labs and universities: Brookhaven: April 2011 MSU FRIB: Oct 2011 Argonne/Fermi: Jan 2012 Jefferson Lab: April 2012 Annual Capitol Hill briefings Note: All SPAFOA events are open to the public

Background Reports Accelerators for Americas Future (June 2010) OHEP Accelerator task Force Report (May 2012)

Accelerator Application Categories The Previous reports identified a multitude of potential accelerator applications in the following categories: Energy and Environment Medicine Industry Security and Defense Discovery Science

Senate Request The Senate Energy Committee directs the Department to submit a … 10-year strategic plan … for accelerator technology research and development to advance accelerator applications in energy and the environment, medicine, industry, national security, and discovery science. Senate Report , p. 93. (Ordered to be printed September 7, 2011)

Recommended Stewardship Goals: SCRF Industry View SC should maximize investments in accelerator stewardship along the following goals: 1- Lower the first and operational cost of SC accelerator technology 2- Contribute to the major objectives of the Department 3- Contribute to accelerator issues across Government agencies 4- Grow the domestic accelerator industry (jobs and markets) These recommended goals represent a hierarchy and are not mutually exclusive. Co-funding by other than SC should increase as one works down the list

Accelerator Industry Segments Two relatively independent segments: “Conventional” accelerator manufacturers 24,000 industrial applications* 9,000 medical uses* Low power, 30% produced in US* Science based applications Unique large facilities Superconducting technology dominates * Communications with R. Hamm

SCRF Accelerator US Market Characteristics Discovery science machines are billion dollar + programs, spaced years apart Significant schedule and budget risks, may take a decade to go from design to construction Major progress has been make in industrialization of SCRF accelerator technology US industry now has the capability to produce cryomodules (this needs to be publicized more) Industry can supply components such as cavities and SC magnets to the labs for development and test, this is not production Most companies have other product lines Other applications in energy (ADS) and defense (FEL) are feasible but long term, industry will not invest in them

International SCRF Market Characteristics European and Asian companies are developing a strong capability with their government’s support. EU funded projects like the XFEL award contracts to contributing country’s industries in proportion to their contribution TIARA (Test infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area) under development as a European accelerator R&D facility for sustainable accelerator science and technologies in Europe (11 partners/ 8 countries) Major Japanese laboratory accelerator facilities are contracted to large Japanese industries

SCRF Accelerator Market Discovery Science Ongoing Projects FRIB CEBAF Upgrade NSLS II Potential Future Projects Project X NGLS ILC (R&D with potential large production) e-RHIC

Stewardship Pathways A viable US high tech accelerator industrial base is a critical component to the success of SC stewardship plan US industry must maintain and increase its capability to produce equipment for new applications identified in the international marketplace Government can help by examining its policies and procedures to increase this domestic capability by: Emphasizing “best value” and “total project cost” in laboratory procurement evaluation criteria Streamlining and standardization of procurement processes and procedures Coordination of major procurement levelize schedules

Lab-Industry Collaboration There are 3 basic funding vehicles : Government funded: Direct contracts to industry Cost sharing: Industry pays a portion Licensing of lab developed IP Note: Any industry investment in a stewardship project will consider ROI as the first order decision criteria

Industry Issue Stewardship R&D planning Stewardship stakeholder boards should set up a mechanism to allow early inputs from industry on topical area selection Domestic economic growth should be given a high priority Industry should coordinate a process to coordinate their input to the boards

Industry Issue Laboratory Facility Access DOE laboratories have made major investments in R&D, test, and cryomodule assembly facilities. SC should develop procedures to allow industry to utilize these facilities at reasonable rates SC should develop procedures for industry to do proprietary R&D work at these facilities incl. IARC European and Asian facilities are efficiently shared by their industries

Competition Issues US industry competes with international companies for US funded procurements Laboratory Procurement Practices, competitive evaluation criteria should consider advantages of US companies within FAR i.e. “best value” Contribution of added experience to SC’s stewardship program should be considered in selection criteria. EU companies get VAT tax refunded with US purchases

SUMMARY US SCRF industry fully supports SC’s accelerator stewardship initiative Stewardship must be a joint Government/ industry effort to succeed Industry welcomes the opportunity to work with SC as the stewardship activity moves forward
