LCLS X-ray operations plan 500 -1000 hrs in FY 09, with 1 -2 instruments Up to 4000 hrs in FY 10, with 2 -3 instruments 5000 hrs/yr by FY 14, with 6 instruments X-ray operations will be scheduled in blocks of a few months or more, with periodic (every 2 weeks? ) brief (2 days? ) interruptions for machine studies Typical experiment will last for about 2 weeks 2 experiments could alternate 12 -hr cycles, assuming no large change in beam conditions was required 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 2 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

X-ray support staff roles 1 direct interaction with experimenters Duty Operator At least one on site 24/7 during operations Monitors safe conditions, procedures Some technical capability Interface to other levels of support On-call support Network responds to problems with layered approach Covers mechanical, electrical, laser, controls, software problems User administration Safety training for facility users Details of experiment scheduling Record keeping Instrument scientist Primary technical interface between users and instrument Frequent collaborator with outside groups using instrument Conducts experiments 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 3 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

X-ray support staff roles 2 running and improving the machine Instrument scientist Monitors quality of operation of instrument Proposes and manages minor upgrade projects Instrument engineer Maintains instrument Carries out minor upgrade projects Tech Routine maintenance, repair, work on upgrades Development scientist Proposes major upgrade projects Development engineer, designer Manages major upgrade projects 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 4 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

What is not included Facility-wide functions (ie, top management , rad physics, tech information, HR, finance) Students, post-docs, visiting scientists (>30 people) Provide some support, in addition to science 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 7 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

Funding for X-ray ops Budget requests have been made for FY 09, FY 10 $2 M in FY 09 $9 M in FY 10 Hoped-for steady-state budget $30 M for staff + $5 M capital = $35 M 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 8 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

The User Interface to LCLS Start with LCLS web site Technical information Links to LCLS technical, administrative contacts Web-based proposal submission Proposal review Internal review for feasibility, safety concerns External review for scientific merit Beam time scheduling About 6 mo before experiment Welcome to LCLS User Admin staff handles documents, safety training Instrument support staff helps experiment work 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 9 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

Proposal submission Site under construction, coming by June 1 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 12 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu

Summary Operations will start with 1 -2 instruments and ramp to 6 (for LCLS phase 1) Steep staff increase over the next few years The LCLS will require ~125 FTEs to operate the X-ray areas with 6 instruments An efficient User Interface is being constructed Starts with web Users on-site will be well-supported both technically and administratively 14 May 2008 User Interface and 2009 Ops 13 John Arthur jarthur@slac. stanford. edu
