## Linear Collider Tactical Plans Overview for FY08

- Linear Collider Tactical Plans Overview for FY08

**ILC (Project 18) effort (SWF) is funded as a “line item” in the CD budget, FY08 at $2.301M (direct) – Rich Stanek, 11/1/07.  This corresponds to ~17.92 FTE (depends on the rate used for direct costs).**
**In FY07 the project 18 SWF was $1.782M and we charged $1.816M (2% over budget).**
**The money is divided into sub-projects, some funded by the DOE for GDE work (18.1.), the rest for other aspects of the project, including Fermilab-based facilities and detector activity.**
**ILC M&S is funded through the Fermilab ILC project office and is held in the Directorate budget.  CD charges ILC travel, conferences, computing, and materials associated with the project to to project 18.  Approval goes through the labwide ILC management chain.**
**ILC effort is very highly matrixed – effort is part of Fermilab, national, and international agreements.  These change during the year in many cases.  In addition, the project 18 funds are divided into fund types that cannot be mixed except with some coordination with the project 18 office (Bob Kephart and Rich Stanek) and with CD division office.  **

## Linear Collider Tactical Plans Overview for FY08

- In FY08, many things will change, as usual.
- “Detector” funds will be split from the rest of project 18 and tracked separately.
- Detector/Scientist effort will be tracked separately.
- Global systems will be “GDE” funds rather than SCRF
- Details will be learned on Thursday at 1:00
- The key to surviving all of this is to be flexible.

- FY08 Tactical Plans for 4. Linear Collider Controls

- Tactical Plan Goals
- Lead and contribute to the ILCTA controls group efforts to provide a controls framework and device interfaces for the SCRF R&D  program. This is primarily focused on the ILC cavity R&D program at FNAL and the most substantial effort will be for the cryomodule testing facility at  NML running with ILC beam like parameters.
- Provide integrations and infrastructure expertise to other ILCTA R&D areas in particular  instrumentation (BPM) and LLRF.
- Collaborate with data management effort (this now includes DB effort).
- Provide international L3 management for the global controls effort. This involves developing a WBS structure based on the various workpackages although not managing the workpackages themselves and reporting on their progress to the GDE.
- Provide the leadership for delivering the controls portion of the EDR in 2009/2010.
- Deliver on the workpackages that FNAL has proposed for controls R&D projects. Labor for this effort may mostly come out of other divisions.

## FY08 Tactical Plans for 4. Linear Collider Controls

- FY08 Tactical Plans for 4. Linear Collider Controls

- Tactical Plan Strategies
- Provide various control systems and interfaces that standardize control systems across several areas (capture cavity, horizontal test stand (HTS), vertical test stand (VTS), cryomodule test beam area and 3.9 GHz coupler conditioner. Infrastructure should be flexible enough to support R&D on the controls system itself.
- Establish FNAL as a key player in the ILC Controls global arena. The laboratory has a lot of expertise in this area and it is a strategic place for the laboratory to be as it prepares a bid to host.

## FY08 Tactical Plans for 5. Linear Collider Detector/Physics Studies

- FY08 Tactical Plans for 5. Linear Collider Detector/Physics Studies

- Tactical Plan Goals
- Preparation of simulation software for a detector (SiD) so as to present meaningful physics statements at ALCPG07
- Continuation of Detector R&D in areas which have high impact on ILC decisions

## FY08 Tactical Plans for 5. Linear Collider Detector/Physics Studies

- FY08 Tactical Plans for 5. Linear Collider Detector/Physics Studies

- Tactical Plan Strategies
- Continue a “vertical” strategy of focusing on SiD Simulation to the point where useful physics simulation can be done and where our credibility is established.
- Formulate and migrate to a broader simulation approach, including software and simulation from all four detector concepts and each of the collaborations.  This change in direction should begin to occur in early FY08.
- Pursue investigations of Detector Physics topics which meet the two criteria of being important areas for deciding on proper ILC detector design, and leveraging FNAL equipment, facilities and expertise.  In particular, we should take full advantage of the fact that with the winding down of collider experiments and other activities, significant useful equipment will become available for use in ILC studies.

## Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 1. Project Management

- Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 1. Project Management

- If major funding or organization changes of ILC activities occur there will need to be a shift of effort or activities.  The probability of such a shift is small at the moment, given the strong endorsement of the efforts by the laboratory Director.
- Some change in emphasis and priorities may occur as EDR activities ramp up and adjustments are required.

## Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 2. Engineering

- Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 2. Engineering

- Failure on completing a 2nd production of the ESE LLRF controller can be mitigated by using the prototype design which worked well. There may be a small performance loss. The new controller will become critical mid to late 2008 when we really focus on LLRF performance.
- Similar to 1. The new algorithm development targets specific performance specifications of the LLRF system which are critical to achieve ILC standards.
- Similar to 2.  The new algorithm implementation targets performance of the LLRF system which is critical to achieve ILC standards.
- Not critical.  New cavity models and control algorithms will improve what we know about the RF system and/or give us a better way to achieve ILC parameters. This can be considered fine tuning for the long run.
- Critical. Part of the success of the ILC tests depends on success and the stability of the LLRF system. Commissioning includes ESE LLRF hardware, firmware and algorithms.  The key risk is the availability of personnel and that is driven by the lab priorities.
- Although an important part of the overall LLRF project, this is not critical to the commissioning of the LLRF system needed for the ILC Test Areas.

## Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 2. Engineering

- Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 2. Engineering

- Failure on obtaining a new hire with the specified skills in Digital Signal Processing and Control will impact the pace at which algorithms and control strategies can be generated for other ESE engineers to take on their implementation. It is important to be able to generate those algorithms inside the ESE-ILC group in order to keep competing with other groups and labs and to guarantee that the implementation of those algorithms stays within the ESE-ILC group.
- This effort has the potential to reduce downtime and support costs for the eventual accelerator complex but it is not critical to the success of the project.
- The EDR is a critical component to the approval process and the main risk to this effort is the availability of the people to contribute.
- Test stand development is needed to keep up with evolving technologies and to provide diagnostic capabilities to evaluate and improve detector components and prototypes.
- An integrated, user-friendly, scalable test beam facility at MTest is a key facility for development of detector components. Failure to deliver such a telescope facility will limit and eventually compromise our infrastructure to test detectors in a test beam at Fermilab.
- Lack of participation in the ILC Pixel Detector R&D effort going on at Fermilab will potentially limit our future participation in the project.
- Failure to investigate key technologies will hamper our ability to deliver reliable systems that meet the increasing demands of new detector designs.

## Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 4. Controls

- Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 4. Controls

- Failure on the vertical and horizontal test stands will have significant repercussions on the ILC cryomodule schedule.  The other elements can be delayed a few months but no more before major impacts occur.
- We have a real risk of not meeting staffing requirements. This will delay schedule for NML, but the cryomodule delivery schedule has serious risk being significantly delayed because of funding delays. If we can’t meet our staffing requirements, we impact the level of quality and automation of the test facilities.
- If we are short in time or resources, we will first let go of controls system R&D needed to run NML well from an operational standpoint (ie, make it much less automated). The next thing to sacrifice is some of the standards and uniformity across systems. This is robbing Peter to pay Paul as we will pay for this in the long term by a larger support load and the need to standardize later.

## Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 5.Detector/Physics Studies

- Impact of Preliminary Allocation – 5.Detector/Physics Studies

- Work continues on SiD in preparation for the LOI.
- Some infrastructure and effort on detector simulation occurs.
- Detector R&D for vertex detectors and calorimetry continues at some level.
- Not likely that much effort on ILD or host lab activities ramp up.
