Outline US Program – After the April 2016 Review Initial Revised Project Plan Further Updates to Plan Current Status US Involvement Moving Forward Project Risk Retirement Continuing Effort: Experimental Support Support for Students and Post-Docs Conclusion March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

3 US Program – After April 2016 MPB/RLS REVIEW
March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

4 Initial Revised Project Plan
After funding agency decision to only support MICE Step IV: DOE Actions: FY17 funding support would be capped at US $1M Versus originally planned US $3M Contingency for Magnet Support would extend thru March 31st, 2017 US Muon Accelerator Program directed to: Complete quench protection system upgrades and provide support for operation of the Spectrometer Solenoids Complete Spectrometer Solenoid magnet repair package documents Terminate RF Module production effort Focus on enabling program post-docs and graduate students to finish their research projects Any “carryover” funds after March 31, 2017 can be used for: Post-doc and student support to complete their research Continued experimental involvement at individual institutions March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

5 Further Updates to Plan
At the request of the MICE Collaboration, a proposal was made to DOE to complete construction of the RF Modules: Shipping not to be included in US costs Subsequent discussions allowed US funds for shipping of the hardware Hardware is being prepared for shipment to the UK (see A. Bross presentation) Also confirmed that US experimenters would be able to participate in a planned May-June 2017 timeframe ISIS run Based on initial US budget projections March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

6 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
Current Status Experimental operations through March 31st are now complete. Looking forward: US can continue to support safe magnet operations and maintenance while funds remain Contingency funds, however, are no longer available for any major hardware effort US Continuing Resolution We note that the funding outlook after April 28, 2017 remains less than clear Has serious implications for when US experimental support will likely run out March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

7 US Involvement Moving Forward
March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

8 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
Risk Retirement $ 697 K (US) weighted cost Some risks require transfer No support can be promised for RF module installation and commissioning – of course we will help in any way we can No support can be promised if a major SS magnet issue arises after March 31st – again we will help in any way we can March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

9 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
Continuing Effort US Experimental Team will be supported through remaining funds held at each institution NOTE: Availability of US laboratory personnel is expected to decrease rapidly – mid-summer to Fall time frame All US laboratory staff must move to other assignments if their positions are to be preserved Considerable efforts are underway to push that process forward US plan has set aside funds to support completion of US graduate student and post-doc support Will not touch these funds for any other purposes We expect strong engagement with theses and paper contributions through mid-2018 March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

10 Early Career Scientists Funded by US MAP/MICE in US FY17 & beyond
Ben Freemire Dec 2016) March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

11 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
MAP Effort MAP support is rapidly ramping down as manpower moves on or is re-assigned: October ~10 FTEs (roughly 50% at FNAL) February 2017 ~8 ½ FTEs April 2017 Estimate ~7 ½ FTEs By October 2017, we expect that there will be very limited MICE-US support (at most, roughly half the April manpower levels) available on MAP carryover funds.

12 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
Conclusion March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

13 Wrap-Up of US Contributions
The US MAP team is happy to have contributed to getting useful data to provide detailed insight into the muon ionization cooling process Effective at the end of this month, construction project support will conclude A modest amount of scientific and experimental support will continue to be available over the next several months Availability of DOE laboratory staff is highly dependent on the US funding landscape and laboratory priorities Some student and post-doc support continues for another ~1 year March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

14 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
Backups March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)

15 FY17 MAP/MICE support of Scientists (FNAL actuals thru 1/17)
Ben Freemire Dec 2016) Current BNL Effort: << 1 FTE (most manpower assigned to eRHIC R&D) Current LBNL Effort: Rapidly ramping to 0 with completion of RF Modules March 7, 2017 Mark Palmer | MICE RLS/MPB Review (RAL)
