Lab Coordination Meeting 9/25/13Introduction – G. Sabbi 1 Magnet Development Plan Update Overview GianLuca Sabbi LARP Lab Coordination Meeting September 25, 2013

Lab Coordination Meeting 9/25/13Introduction – G. Sabbi 2 Today’s Agenda  Introduction LARP magnet systems activities Reminder of general goals for Lab coordination meeting New elements since last meeting and LARP response  QXF program Updates of the overall plan and schedule Proposed adjustments in Lab work packages Infrastructure needs, upgrade plans  HQ and LHQ programs in support of QXF Update of status/plans, work assignments, infrastructure needs  Update/discussion on GARD contributions Organization, allocation of GARD funds  AOB

Lab Coordination Meeting 9/25/13Introduction – G. Sabbi 3 LARP magnet systems activities  Participation in HiLumi design study Develops HL-LHC design and sets requirements on individual components Our main interest is of course in WP 3.2 (IR quadrupoles) Close ties with WP2 (layout, AP) and WP10 (energy deposition)  Development of 150 mm aperture IR Quadrupole – QXF models Design and short models (SQXF) in collaboration with CERN Long prototypes (LQXF) built/tested mainly in the US  R&D in support of QXF Many topics: conductor & cable, coil fabrication, support structures, field quality, quench protection, radiation resistance, cooling etc. Need to balance desire to make improvements with project constraints Using existing platforms (HQ/LHQ) until QXF is “fully active” (production pipeline, established baseline)  Construction project planning Definition of US deliverables Schedules, cost estimates, infrastructure, Lab roles/contributions

Lab Coordination Meeting 9/25/13Introduction – G. Sabbi 4 General Goals of LCC  Present LARP plans to Lab management Key components (model magnets) and milestones Work packages assigned to each Lab Desired timelines, infrastructure and resource needs  Get feedback from Lab management Are work packages in line with Lab’s capabilities/interests Are resources and infrastructure available when requested Discuss competing priorities for infrastructure and resources  Make contingency plans in case of conflicts  Update plans and track progress on a regular basis Overall plans, task assignments, schedules, expenses etc. Schedule regular meetings – optimal interval?

Lab Coordination Meeting 9/25/13Introduction – G. Sabbi 5  After 2012 review (SLAC, July 2012) DOE requested that LARP starts a process to identify, in agreement with CERN, a set of US deliverables for HL-LHC compatible with 200M$ construction funding envelope + 4 additional years of LARP at flat-flat funding (12.4M$/year) + “in kind” contributions from stronger GARD programs alignment with LARP  A scope selection process was completed and presented at mid-year management briefing (DOE, February 2013). At that time additional DOE guidance was provided in particular regarding the possibility of pre-project funds starting in FY15, with no set limit, and some indication of the expected level of GARD contributions  With this information a more detailed plan was developed and presented at internal review of proposed US deliverables (FNAL, June 2013) although this plan included pre-project funds doubling the LARP base in FY15, which seemed improbable  Internal review plan/assumptions were also used for initial FY14 plan and budget request, and presented at the last LCC Status at the previous LCC

Lab Coordination Meeting 9/25/13Introduction – G. Sabbi 6  Recent guidance sets LARP funding for FY14 at 12.4 M$ including GARD contributions, and possibility of significant increases in FY15 looks unlikely  In order to account for this scenario, we are in the process of adjusting the plan with more emphasis on short QXF models and a slower start of the long QXF models This is in part compensated by including a long mirror test, but first long quadrupole test might be delayed by about 1 year  LQXF schedule is still subject to significant uncertainty pending better understanding of the FY15+ funding levels for LARP, additional discussion and coordination with CERN activities/contributions, and various technical details/options  Main goal for this meeting is to present our latest plan and schedule for QXF, discuss some proposed adjustments in Lab work packages, and review infrastructure upgrade needs/plans in the areas of coil fabrication and magnet testing New elements and LARP response
