3 April 2015 12 GeV Upgrade Project New Hall Add arc Enhanced capabilities in existing Halls Add 5 cryomodules 20 cryomodules Upgrade arc magnets and supplies CHL upgrade Completion of the 12 GeV CEBAF Upgrade was ranked the highest priority in the 2007 NSAC Long Range Plan. Upgrade is designed to build on existing facility: vast majority of accelerator and experimental equipment have continued use. Maintain capability to deliver lower pass beam energies: 2.2, 4.4, 6.6…. Project Scope (~94% complete) : Doubling the accelerator beam energy - DONE New experimental Hall D and beam line - DONE Civil construction including Utilities - ~98% Upgrades to Experimental Halls B & C - ~85% TPC = $338M ETC = ~$22M

6 April 2015 Power Outage Event March 24, 4PM JLab site lost power due to off-site event Power restored after a few hours, both CHL-1 and CHL-2 stable at 4K Encountered difficulties restarting 2K cold boxes on CHL-1 and CHL-2 CHL-2 warmup to remove contamination restored functionality CHL-1 has a failed compressor Reconfigured cryoplant to use CHL-2 to cool both LINACs and attempt to restore beam at lower energy (~5.5 GeV) Run extended for HPS until May 18 Received spare compressor drive unit from SNS – installation in progress. Damaged compressor sent to factory for assessment.

7 April 2015 2015 Summer Shutdown May-June: CHL-1 maintenance (UIM project), need CHL-2 on to keep CEBAF cool June-Oct.: CHL-2 warranty repair by vendor, CHL-1 used for CEBAF LINACs at 2K for He processing (gradient maintenance) Restart in October – emphasis on 12 GeV beam development and multi-hall beam delivery
8
8 April 2015 Beam Time Request We will schedule Jan. 2016 – Dec. 2016 and Jan. 2017-Jun 2017 (tentative). Construction of experiment components must be nearly complete and layout and experiment design frozen. CLAS12 construction has priority in Hall B.

10 April 2015 PAC43 10 Scheduled for July 28-August 1 Proposals were due June 2 Charge: Review new proposals, previously conditionally approved proposals, and letters of intent for experiments that will utilize the 12 GeV upgrade of CEBAF and provide advice on their scientific merit, technical feasibility and resource requirements. Identify proposals that represent high quality physics within the range of scientific importance represented by the previously approved 12 GeV proposals and recommend for approval. Also provide a recommendation on scientific rating and beam time allocation for proposals newly recommended for approval. Identify other proposals with physics that have the potential for falling into this category pending clarification of scientific and/or technical issues and recommend for conditional approval. Provide comments on technical and scientific issues that should be addressed by the proponents prior to review at a future PAC. 8 new proposals 2 new parallel experiments 7 Letters of Intent

12 April 2015 CEBAF Operations Budget ONP Guidance/ FY16 President’s Budget Request supports ~ 16 weeks running ONP increased its projected out-year allocations to correspond to ~27/28 weeks of operations In 2017, with 12 GeV Beam commissioning, total will be ~30 weeks We were moderately pleased with the outlook for 2017+ We have sought extra funding to augment our FY16 operations by a few weeks
