SAC Recommendations, 1st Meeting July 17-18, 2006
Increase Beam Line Staff – see directorate action below The SAC was very impressed with the caliber of staff scientists The most important issue at this time is adequate staffing of beam lines SAC will look at this issue in more detail at the next meeting
Involve User Community in Planning -- SSRLUO meeting on Friday at 2:00pmIncrease involvement of the user community in the development of new SSRL facilities Solicit scientific ideas and organize workshops Example: environmental science, assure that SSRL maintains its leadership position in this field
Ensure Continued Growth of Structural Biology Program – see next item One of SSRL’s strengths Ensure continued support and development of facilities SAC will look at this issue in more detail at the next meeting
Develop SSRL Strategic Plan – see directorate action below Director to develop a 5-year Strategic Plan in consultation with SAC, users, and SLAC management 2 parts: Scientific Plan & Implementation Plan Include a financial model, plans for increased staffing, timetable for implementation of major projects
Next SAC meeting February 15-16, 2007
Charge to Task Force:• Identify important issues in recruitment • Address issues of career development within SLAC• Address issue of PI-ship• Address optimal organization of scientific staff within SSRL
Management Response to Task Force Recommendations (implemented and in process)
• Establish parity of SSRL salaries with like labs
• Allow and encourage PI-ship of staff on DOE proposals
• Establish career and promotion path for staff scientists – several staff levels
• Organize staff scientists in groups with team leaders
• Team leaders to represent scientists in Lab Management Group
• Team leaders to manage beam line improvement funds
• Increase scientific staff and beam line support staff

Task Force on SSRL Staff Recruitment and Retention-- Constituted October 2005
BL2: 500 mA capable, silicon mirror and mirror mover from the old BL7-2 installed into BL2-1. Spot size of 200 x 400 microns. New photon position monitor
BL4: Existing SAXS BL4-2 will continue to run – but limited to 100 mA BL4-1 and 4-3 side stations not illuminated Beam line to be rebuilt in new location in 2007
BL5: Small gap undulator chamber installed BL5-4: M0 mirror cooling and out-of-alcove components upgraded for 500 mA
BL6: New x-ray microscopy hutch installed – see below
BL7: Completely rebuilt in 2006
BL7-1 and 7-3 have new optics (mirrors, monochromators) BL7-2: sagittally focusing LN monochromator to be installed this fall
BL8: New photon position monitor installed
BL9: Replacement of masks, slits, filters, windows; BL9-2 LN monochromator; BL9-1 new focusing monochromator
BL10: Installed new 500 mA masking installed; complements LN mono & new mirror systems installed previously
2006 Beam Lines Upgrades (red = bend, blue = ID)
Summary: 83% of ID and 67% of BM stations are 500 mA compatible
Finish upgrades that were delayed due to FY2006 budget reduction
BL3: Shut down. LIGA program terminated by mutual agreement with PRT “XAFS” program will be moved to a branch line on new BL14
BL14: Under design (Genentech/SSRL funded) 2 branches: Hi-throughput Macromolecular Crystallography and
“Sulfur XAFS” Summer 2008 installation
BL4: Existing SAXS BL4-2 will continue to run – but limited to < 100 mA BL4-1 and 4-3 not illuminated Beam line, with all three branch lines, to be rebuilt in new location in 2007
Both moves (to other side of the ring) facilitate future seismic upgrade of SPEAR3 tunnel with minimum beam line impact
Beam Line Upgrade Completion
BL12: Structural Biology BL – in vacuum undulator Modified East Pit: double-waist chicane Summer 2006 installation and commissioning this fall Funded by Moore Foundation through Caltech

3/5/07X-ray/VUV beamtime requests due for 2007-3
4/1/07MC beam time requests due for 2007-3
Timeline Towards 500 mA & Top Off Injection User Operations
Use Accelerator Physics (AP) days for Radiation Physics safety analysis, review & approval of 500-mA operation
Design & modify PPS/interlocks for top off
November December January February March April May June July
Staff tests of 500 mA operation during AP
Staff tests of top off injection during AP
Selected user run at 500 mA, < 1 week per month
Work with staff and users to determine optimal frequency for top off injection
2007-1 2007-2 2007-3
Proposals to DOE-BES under Instrumentation Initiative 2006:
• High Resolution Photoemission BL 5-0 (D. Lu, Z.X. Shen)• Small Angle X-Ray Scattering BL (M. Toney)• Inelastic X-Ray Scattering and Advanced Spectroscopy BL (U. Bergmann)• Multi-element, high count rate, energy-dispersive detector for BL 4 (J. Bargar)
In Planning / Future Opportunities (workshops) :
• Improved detectors• Time resolved facilities (some are part of PULSE Center proposal) ***Session 7 - 11 am tomorrow****
• X-ray microscopy (STXM) beam line 2-5 keV (MEIS, Biology, Medicine)• Others - user initiatives
New Facilities – beyond 2007
Another goal: in-vacuum superconducting undulatorFunds requested from University as part of faculty development plan
Possible source for: Inelastic scattering and x-ray STXM microscope
