11. Future - Beam Sharing LCLS LUSI Described in John Bozek’s talk
Described in J. Hastings’ Talk
Split proportion
10% to XPP 50% xmital to far hall
Same split between PCS & CXI
Soft x-ray experiments will require exclusive use of beam
Ability to split/share the “hard” x-ray beam with thin crystals

13. LCLS/LUSI Instrument Teams
SAC recommended scientific thrust areas, based on letters of intent to do LCLS science (250 signatories)
Thrust areas: AMO, XPP, CXI, HED, XCS, SXR
Interested scientists chose team leaders for each area, to interface with SLAC and provide input to instrument design process
AMO & LUSI instrument scientists are in regular contact with AMO, XPP, CXI, and XCS team leaders
Team leaders review and accept instrument physics requirement documents
Workshops have brought many team members to SLAC
LCLS encourages instrument team presence from “Day One” of instrument operation

22. User Access Policy Description in Jochen Schneider’s talk
DOE-BES Perspective
Demonstrate science potential early in operation
Rapid transit to general user access
Early Productivity:
Select the best science consistent with early operations
Founding instrument teams
General users
Emphasis on efficient use of beam time

23. Science Program Formulation
LCLS Science Advisory Committee
Review/approve science case for instrument
Review instruments’ scientific productivity
LCLS Proposal Review Panel
Score proposals
Recommend time allocations for proposals

24. Challenges for the Future
Maximum efficiency of beam time use
setup in one hutch while another operates
best use of split beam
Staffing for instruments
Early and sustained productivity

25. Summary LCLS operations organization taking shape
User outreach progressing well
User policy encourages and supports widespread accessibility
LCLS is open for business
