Generally in good shape We have $6033 k ($13829 k*5/12=$5760 k) Some large frontloaded PO’s, so even better Some overruns Extra HQ tests Rotatable Collimator Travel and LTV’s Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 2
LARP/LBNL Luminosity Extra ~1/3 FTE requested to continue commissioning of device as LHC luminosity grows Development of activities in HL-LHC plan: Accelerator Physics Task Support of single particle tracking and E_loss maps for lattices under consideration In line with DOW Review recommendations 1. 6 FTE at SLAC identified Support of Energy Deposition studies in IR magnets As recommended by DOE reviewers FNAL &/or SLAC FLUKA team Supported by SLAC management Requests from LBNL (2. 0 FTE) & SLAC (0. 5 FTE) for collective effect subtask Crab Cavity Task Computational support (modes, multipactering) for ALL designs under consideration HL-LHC initial planning much greater than current LARP commitment SLAC & LB NL staff identified Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 3
Detailed contingency analysis to cover shortfalls to meet goals for the year. Largely driven by extra HQ tests Added money to meet Hi. Lu. MI-LHC commitments Begin design work on LHQ Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 4
Toohig Fellowship BNL will need some contingency to cover Simon White’s Toohig Fellowship LTV Program There will be a slight shortfall in the LTV account because of higher than anticipated COLA costs COLA based on CHF/$ exchange rate. Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 5
Good news Full contingency request released (today? ). In addition to funding shortfalls, this will allow us to better fulfill our commitments to the HL-LHC study Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 6
Can always hope Working assumption Plan w/APUL Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 7
We feel that LARP has been and continues to be a very effective program Well reviewed Very positive feedback from CERN We continue to be resource limited With the advent of the HL-LHC design study, it’s clear that there is significantly more interest and talent in the US than the funding can support. We are continuing to plan for a ~flat level of funding over the next few years Of course, we would be able to effectively use significantly more. Eric Prebys - Budget Outlook June 1, 2011 8
