Accelerator Physics

Top-Off Safety Analysis:

The new method of cascaded tracking turned out to be very helpful to detect extremely rare cases of particles entering into the photon extraction channel. Taking into account limiting aperture in the upstream part of the beamline frontend, these events can be completely suppressed.

The analysis has been completed and the results are captured in a formal report which will be reviewed in July.

LCM: For continuous 1Hz Injection: Need to confirm that injection losses occur in heavily shielded injection: Scraper system and glass-fiber rod Cerenkov loss monitor system defined and tested in NSLS

Neutron monitor for detection of losses in the septum successfully tested at NSLS

Linear Lattice: Reduction of horizontal beta from 20m to 3mm in the long straight appears to be possible with acceptable dynamic aperture

use of long straights for radiation devices is greatly enhanced and 6m long devices become more attractive

Accelerator Physics

Dynamic Aperture:

A tolerance study has been performed which indicated that the magnet field quality tolerances for quadrupole and sextupoles can be relaxed (not the large aperture magnets, though)

Accelerator physics to closely following magnet production and checks acceptability of each deviation from specified values (integrated field, field angle, magnetic length, harmonics….)

Impact of installation of SCW upstream/downstream the center of the straight investigated acceptable weak symmetry breaking

Chromaticity: Acceptable solutions with positive chromaticity have been found

(existence proof)

14 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES

Storage Ring MagnetsStart-up of storage ring magnet production was delayed by up to 6 month due to technical difficulties. NSLS-II worked with the vendor to get the problems under control, at this point all technical issues with quadrupoles, sextupoles and correctors are resolved, most vendors are in production

Status:

Quadrupoles: Production of 60 25cm and 60 40cm quadrupoles at BINP started in February, 50% of the work for 60 25cm magnets already completed, 5 magnets received, 9 further magnets ready for shipment Quadrupoles : Production of 90 symmetric and 30 non-symmetric 25cm long quadrupoles expected to start in June, as technical problems appear to be solved, PRR on May 20.

Sextupoles: Production 160 symmetric sextupoles at Danfysik well along, 30% of the production completed Sextupoles: Production of 75 wide sextupoles started at IHEP, IHEP is in full production since January but has completed only 5 magnets, 39 magnets in different stages of the production

Large Aperture Quadrupoles and Sextupoles: Production of quadrupoles started, production of sextupoles expected to follow in May’11

Dipoles: Problem with delamination, manufacturer has built new assembly hall with improved curing furnish, transverse dimensions increased, first 90mm dipole received

Magnet Production and Girder Installation

At this point ~20% of the magnet production effort has been accomplished

99 magnets have been received, 47 magnets have been accepted

So far no impact on end of girder installation milestone

Page 16: 1 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Accelerator Overview F. Willeke 8 th ASAC meeting for NSLS-II Project May 10-11, 2011.

16 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES

Girder Integration

•Magnets received form a vendor undergo thorough acceptance testing in the magnet facility of building 902.

•After electrical and mechanical tests, and survey on each magnet magnetic measurement are performed (initially all magnets are measured in-house)

•Then magnets are pre-aligned on girders and high precision-aligned in the environmental room

•Solving the technical problem with production required intense work on magnet measurement and handling (separating magnet halves). This provided good training for the full production with 17-20 magnets per week

•All the alignment fixtures and procedures have been refined.

•The first girder was fully assembled in March including magnets, vacuum and diagnostics components and support systems. Unfortunately some of the magnets on that girder were damaged during air shipment and had to be sent back to the manufacturer

Accelerator Systems – Cost & Schedule Performance

Page 31: 1 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Accelerator Overview F. Willeke 8 th ASAC meeting for NSLS-II Project May 10-11, 2011.

31 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES

Analysis of Schedule Delays

If BCWS is shifted by 3 months, BCWS and WBWP are on top of each otherThere is a 3 months accumulated delay so far no signs that the situation is getting worse despite increasing absolute schedule variance

Contributions to schedule variances which are incorrect and to be fixed:

• LINAC is ahead of schedule but shows 993k$ of variance due to unfortunate choice of milestones

• DW is more or less on track but there is a reporting issue

Page 32: 1 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Accelerator Overview F. Willeke 8 th ASAC meeting for NSLS-II Project May 10-11, 2011.

32 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES

Remaining Risks

Many of the risks of Accelerator systems have been reduced and some risks have been retired.

However the schedule risk with magnets and superconducting cavities became more severe

New risk on installation labor shortage has been mitigated with a recent PCR ($3M)

33 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES

Summary• NSLS-II accelerator systems have moved successfully into production of components in industry• Large progress has been made recently in completing designs and procurement• The majority of large (>$100k) and critical procurements (technically challenging, few vendors) are completed (~80%) and the production of components in industry has started,•The most critical area are magnets where, despite considerable technical progress, production is not yet at full rate and is about 6 months behind schedule•Other large productions such as LINAC, Booster, vacuum chambers, vacuum pumps, equipment enclosures have progressed well with a significant fraction of the production already completed• Most of the technical challenges have been met; there are no major technical issues left, the main challenge remains to keep the accelerator schedule under control•AS is about three months behind schedule (constant since 2009) which is within the available float; however there is no room for further significant delay•On average, ASD procurements are within budgeted costs. Cost of several critical systems remained below budgeted cost which made room for cost increase in some areas•Contingency has been used for scope increase (2nd transmitter) and adjustment of the labor resources •Installation has started but in progressing quite slowly

• Overall accelerator systems are proceeding steadily towards completion of the project
