## The Technical Division

**Victor Yarba**
**9 January 2006**

- 9 Jan 06

##  Technical Division Mission

**The research, development, design, fabrication or procurement, and testing of accelerator and detector components**
**Support the Accelerator Complex**
**Conduct Accelerator R&D**
- ILC, PD, LHC, LARP
**Support Projects**
- CMS Muons, LHC Accelerator Project, Pierre Auger
**Provide Lab-wide Services**
- Incoming inspection, material control, specialized machine shop
**TD is ~230 people accustomed to:**
**Working on technical HEP R&D devices**
**Responding to customer requirements**
**Preparing designs to be ‘production ready’, including integration w/ industry**
**delivering on accelerator projects for Fermilab and other HEP labs.**

## TD Personnel (FTE)

- Oct 05 snapshot
- We have shifted FTE’s from support to scientific roles in the past 6 years within the scope of the lab funding situation

- TD’s ability to support and track record of performance on outside projects supports our requests

- 9 Jan 06

## FY06 TD Labor Plan (FTE)

- ILC / 3.9GHz / RF Infrastructure now incorporated in “Project 18,” Directorate funding—’outside’ the Division

- LHC and LARP are true ‘outside’ projects

- Machine Shop (cost neutral) and LOA

- 9 Jan 06

## FY06 Cost of Labor (SWF)

**    ****Red**** = “outside” funding = ****8.4%**** of FY06  SWF**
**	****Green**** = “Project 18” = ****21.8%**

**TD base SWF for FY06**

- 9 Jan 06

## Operating Income 

**TD also “handles” additional M&S money for outside projects and Accel. Division purchases**
**In FY05 we “handled”**
- $      12 K of  M&S for CMS
- $    646 K of M&S  for the LHC project
- $    394 K of US Auger funds (US portion of project is 25%)
- $ 1,020 K  for Accel. Division purchases via Material Control Dept
- $ 3,085 K of M&S and SWF flowed through the machine shops. (This organization operates on a charge back system such that it is intended to be cost neutral for the Division)
**The total M&S + SWF  “handled” by the Technical Division in FY05 was $ 34,559 K**
**Expect FY06 to be essentially flat based on guidance**

**Big Areas of growth are all in SCRF. The Division is making substantial changes to respond to changing priorities**

## Goals of FY06 TD labor Plan 

**Goal = 1****st**** Priority is to provide needed resources to accomplish the Lab’s Run II goals ****(necessary repairs, spares, new devices for luminosity upgrades, studies related to machine performance)**
**Goal = Meet project commitments  to LHC & Auger**
**Goal = Meet ILC R&D commitments to GDE and ramp up a serious ILC effort at FNAL**
**Goal = Complete critical Proton Driver R&D + CD1 docs**
**Goal = Develop SCRF infrastructure per plan to GDE**
- Includes SCRF materials program & support for Peoples Fellow
**Goal = HFM & LARP: Nb****3****Sn Magnet R&D **
- Meet LARP commitments
- Develop HFM infrastructure

## What isn’t Accomplished with the Guidance?

**TD guidance is insufficient to provide the required M&S to fund the 3.9 GHz module we promise in the DESY MOU**
**Funds are inadequate for PD, ILC, and SCRF infrastructure given our stated goals ( more in a separate talk)**
**Would need to cut something to maintain Dept M&S. choices =ILC, Proton Driver, SCRF infrastructure, or HFM.  None are very attractive**
**There is limited flexibility in the TD to hire needed experts in SCRF cavities, cavity testing, and high power RF**

## Conclusion

**     ****Can TD live with the FY06 budget guidance?**** **
**Yes: ****It allows TD to provide the required Run II labor**
**Yes: ****TD**** can pay the salaries of people in the Division working on HFM, ILC, PD, Auger, etc.**
**No****... Dept M&S budgets cannot erode away each year by inflation. There are fixed costs, and some that increase with time. We need at least an additional    ****$ 435 K**** to make up for lost outside income. (down by $ 609 K) or take it from project M&S**
**No****... ILC and SCRF infrastructure will be a lot less than FNAL told GDE**
**No****... Proton Driver will not be able to accomplish planned FY06 goals for CD-1 **
- Both programs would be starved for M&S relative to what is needed to make real progress
- We have no flexibility to hire needed SCRF experts, RF power engineers, and Accelerator physicists.
**These R&D efforts are the future of this lab **

## TD Budget Cycle and Info

**Fiscal Year is October – September**
**We are on the verge of getting the FY06 Budget**
- This is not unusual
**Yearly Budget Cycle includes:**
**Directorate Budget Review in ~October**
- Report on previous year and upcoming year
**WPAS Plan in ~March**
- Plan for current year and 2 out years, includes FTE counts in certain categories
**Monthly Budget Reports**
- Effort and Materials on task numbers; Project Managers and Department Heads are expected to check and be accountable for the tasks w/ their signature authority
**A budget revision / check in May/June**
- Correction of allocations in Division, also potential transfers across Divisions
