Feb. 4 – Aug. 1, 2005 run delivered 95% of scheduled user shifts. 760 experimental starts on 19 beam line stations. 900 users were badged to perform experiments. User demand was 150% of available resources. 89% US users: Univ. (53%), Nat. Labs (29%), Industry (7%). 11% foreign users: Univ. (8%), Labs. (3%). FY 2005 Experimental Run Summary

Director’s Statement I want SSRL to be known for : Its world-class science Its caring for employees and users safety Its value to DOE and other stakeholders (e.g. NIH) Its importance within SLAC and Stanford
11
The New SSRL Directorate
12
SSRL’s Future Role within SLAC One of three pillars of photon science program at SLAC SSRL LCLS SSRL program can maintain vitality for more than 10 years Science programs complementary to LCLS Important part of research in Centers is linked to SSRL Significant additional scientific opportunities exist Challenge is: Full utilization of SPEAR3 capabilities Identification of new opportunities Funding of new facilities Centers of Excellence Ultrafast Center X-Ray Lab. of Advanced Mat. …….
13
SSRL administrative plans: Create “Scientific Advisory Committee” (SAC) in addition to “Proposal Review Panel” (PRP) SAC formation nearly complete Review recruiting and retention (career) issues of staff scientists. Task force to make recommendations Charge drafted
14
SPEAR3 - Opportunities and New Facilities Opportunities identified over last 3 years by: SSRL scientific staff, users and faculty Plan supported by outside committee and by SSRL PRP chaired by S. Sinha (UCSD) and R. Chianelli (UTEP, also PRP Chair) List expanded by discussions within directorate / faculty First implementation stage has 3 year horizon (next DOE review in 2008)

Nano-scale Dynamics – Combining Focusing with Time-resolution Conventional x-ray techniques: ensemble averages in space and time. intrinsic dynamics averages out Coherent x-rays (speckle): can measure fluctuations limited coherent flux Goal: Direct observation of dynamics/fluctuations on nanoscale Science: dynamics and fluctuations in disordered systems, liquid crystals, supercooled liquids, phase transitions: glass transition, magnetic phase transitions….. excited state dynamics laser pump – x-ray probe nanocrystals, surfaces... Time-scales from 100 picoseconds to seconds. pump with high rep-rate laser using full synchrotron rep-rate. Alternative method: focus to spot size ~ correlation length employ time-resolved detectors Science proposal to DOE – late 2005
