Overall Status of NSLS-II Accelerator Systems
• Significant progress have been made since the last ASAC meeting.
•The large procurement process is completed except for remaining insertion devices (IVU22)
• Production well advanced for magnets, vacuum chambers and utilities. Other systems like power supplies: good progress, frontend & instrumentation production are starting up, RF power systems almost complete; superconducting 500MHz cavities & cryo-plant moving in the manufacturer’s production phase.
• Installation is challenging because of shortage of installation labor, scope taken over from contractors, matured planning which revealed additional installation tasks, and late vendor installations (utilities) Installation process has begun
• Preparations for commissioning concentrate on completing the Authorization Base for LINAC and Booster (Storage Ring effort started) and Commissioning Software and Database.
• Insertion devices production started. Damping wiggler first article expected in May; EPU vendor design nearly complete, IVU contracts placed. There is new scope: 4 insertion devices for NEXT-beam-lines planned to be supported by the project; Additional insertion devices for ABBIX (NIH funded program) order placed, additional resources for ABBIX in place, the extra resources needed for the NEXT related scope is planned to be funded by NSLS-II contingency
•Cost and Schedule: overall work continues to be 3 months late; significant in-house labor resources have been added to the CD-2 baseline

LINAC Progress
• The injector building became available for installation in mid-August • Utility installation for LINAC and LtB Transfer-line started in September (DI water, cable trays, AC
connections, racks, safety systems PPS) • The NSLS-II LINAC manufacturing was completed last October• All subsystems were delivered in the late fall 2011 and installed in the tunnel and klystron gallery• The 200 MeV Linac mechanical installation complete, cabling and testing has begun, completed in
February. Testing started: Solid state klystron modulators are undergoing high power tests and will be available for high power RF conditioning of the accelerating structures in February.
• Vacuum, diagnostic components controls, and magnet power supplies for the transfer-line became available in November and transfer-line magnets in December. All installations completed in January.
• Cooling Water systems passed Lab operational safety reviews and were put into operation.• The integrated testing of the LINAC and the transfer-line will take place in February• The commissioning authorization base nearly complete; last documents circulated for approval• The ARR will take place on February 27.• Commissioning with beam will start early March• LINAC is on schedule LINAC completion in reach
5 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES
Booster Progress
• The NSLS-II 3GeV, C=154m 1Hz, combined function booster synchrotron is provided as a semi turn-key system by BINP. Danfysik produces the large magnet power supply as a subcontractor to BINP. Utilities and infrastructure will be provided by BNL.
• The booster power systems has features such as buffering of electrical energy by large capacities. This will minimize the distortion of the storage ring by booster ramping operation.
• The production of booster components, in particular completely equipped girders with combined function dipoles, vacuum chambers and support systems is well underway. Delivery of the components has started (girder stands, one of three large power supplies) and will be completed in April 2012.
• Cable trays and DI-water systems are being installed by BNL and BNL subcontractors.• Utilities and Equipment enclosures has been installed in the injector service building. The
chilled water system for the injector is in operation. DI water systems will become available in February 2012.
• The booster components will be installed by BINP but using BNL labor for all hands-on work, in particular for rigging, any work on electrical systems. Detailed work-plans are underway.
• The Booster activities are on track with NSLS-II P6 schedule booster is progressing fairly well

Accelerator Physics
Top-Off Safety Analysis: Top off analysis completed. Tight apertures in frontend relax the limits on SR magnet currents and injected beam properties - Final report written - Formal top-off safety review is scheduled for April’12. Beam-line frontend still have slots for sweeper magnets though, they are not deemed necessary Decision to be taken after the safety review to free space.Magnet Field Quality Assessment: Accelerator physicist involvement in magnet acceptance procedure: , assuring that magnet field errors are within acceptable limits; production trend tracking; preparing for the “as-build” tracking calculationInsertion Device Integration: Additional NSLS-II beam-lines plans: ABBIX project with 3 additional beam-lines & ID’s launched (supported by NIH). NEXT-beam-lines MIE project with 6 beam-lines & 5 addl. ID’s received CD-1 approval. ID’s include 3 IVU & 2 EPU’s, one of them E.M. in a high- straight with 180 mm period length. Accelerator physics started integrating new devices into the accelerator lattice . So far there are no show stoppers. An insertion device beam dynamics review was held last week.Synchrotron Radiation Protection: The taskforce has continued to examine systematically all synchrotron radiation protection issues which the most serious cases all ready examined. The limits on residual beam orbit motion is limited to reasonable and achievable values (~500 m)Beam Loss Control: Scraper-Cerenkov Monitor system was tested successfully in NSLS and subsystems are in productionCommissioning Taskforce: building up a controls software repository in collaboration with controlsCommissioning Data Base: proceeded with slow speed, recently more pragmatic approach taken
8 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES
Storage Ring Magnets
Storage ring magnet production well underway at all manufacturer’s. Approximately 67% of the production complete; ~50% of the magnets delivered to BNL. All technical issues resolved at this point. Quadrupoles: Production of 60 units of 25cm- and 60 units of 40cm quadrupoles at BINP nearing completion (April). Production of 90- symmetric and 30 non-symmetric 25cm long quadrupoles was further delayed by problems with coil potting. Production going well with 12-14 magnets/months. Expected completion date is August-September 2012. 35% of the production is complete. Plan to measure all TESLA magnets in house.Sextupoles: Danfysik production with 169 symmetric 20cm sextupoles yields 14 magnets per months steadily, ~77% complete. Production of 75 wide sextupoles underway at IHEP. Production rate is no issue, however quality needs to be watched closely. Plan to measure all IHEP magnets in-house.Large Aperture Quadrupoles and Sextupoles: Production of quadrupoles and sextupoles going well, ~80% of the production complete, quality okDipoles: Technical issues delayed production until summer. New stacking fixture and procedure resolved the issue. Primary reason probably steel coating quality. Production of 1 dipole per week ongoing. 4 units (incl. a 90mm unit) received so far.Correctors: Production of 189 units well advanced, however, skew quadrupole correction coils for 30 units needed redesign; production 80% complete.Fast correctors: Production of 90 units will start in February. Storage Magnets are not limiting completion of accelerator anymore

Magnet Production Summary
10 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES
Girder Integration
• 13 fully equipped magnet girders (magnets, water manifolds, vacuum chamber and pumps and wiring, BPM and BPM connection box) produced and installed in the tunnel
• Learning curve was slow and painstaking: procedure was continuously improved; used machined nuts for securing the magnets without moving them. For some of the magnets high precision alignment needs to be repeated once, nevertheless.
•A girder transportation test in August with subsequent check of the high precision alignment demonstrated that 30 micron tolerance can be kept. Most magnets are much better aligned (~10 microns).
• In January 2012 started two-shift operation. 2 girders per week are possible, however are not yet achieved (1.5 girder/week).
• Store pre-aligned girder for thermalization in environmental room with slight compromise of laser tracker and survey target positioning.
• Magnet storage in building 740 (NSLS-II) to maintain maneuverability in 902A
• Dipole magnet girder integration moved to Bld. 740 (exp. floor) for the sake of assembly space and better use of the available manpower.
Routine Girder integration underway, ~70% of final production rate reached, technical issues resolved, challenge to catch up with the schedule

Preparation for Operation
• NSLS-II Operations will start in 2012 (LINAC, Utilities, Booster)
• Detailed bottoms up operations resource estimate prepared
• Resource allocations include plans for FY12 and FY13
• To manage various portfolio's (NSLS-II construction, NSLS operations, Support of beam lines, support of new beam-line projects (ABBIX, NEXT) all resource estimates are performed in a project-like WBS driven format which allows to integrate the entire efforts easily in an integrated staffing plan.
• Methodology of the estimate & the assumptions which form the base of the estimate have been formulated in an assumptions document. By keeping this document up to date, the resource estimate developed in a systematic fashion.
• The resource estimates for NSLS-II steady state operations compare well (within a few %) with comparable facilities (APS).
• A DOE operations review is planned for May 2012. Results of the estimate will be made available after the review
39 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES
Generic Operation Activities
Operation resource estimate sorted by generic operation activities for a scenario with 5000 operating hours per year and securing a 95% operating efficiency.
Resource estimates are based on “generic operation activities” which are similar for all hardware systems. Labor for each of these activities depends on number of devices, frequency of the activities, time to perform a single activity, number of staff needed to perform task. Non-schedulable tasks as trouble shouting and repair depends on estimates of mean time between failure based on previous experience

Summary
• NSLS-II accelerator systems entered the final phase of production of components: LINAC, SR RF transmitters are completed, magnets, vacuum chambers, power supplies, and booster synchrotron components are well above 50% complete and production of most other components has started.• Installation of the injector and storage ring has begun. The start of the work was shifted by ~3 months and the work was slowed down by many small tasks which have not been accounted for, but in general, tremendous progress has been made, the initial coordination issues were overcome quickly and we believe that after the learning curve we will be able to get back on schedule.• While the LINAC is almost complete, booster installation has just begun. Coordinating between BINP engineering oversight team and the BNL installation crew will be challenging and is subject to extensive planning and discussions with BINP management.• Planning for commissioning has progressed and the authorization base for LINAC commissioning is complete, the one of the booster progressed well and work for the Storage ring one has been started.•There is no dramatic change in cost and schedule performance but keeping the schedule is still the major challenge. Additional labor has been added where shortcomings were becoming obvious. Further labor will be added where necessary to keep on track for achieving major milestones in time. • Plans for operations are being developed with a formal review scheduled in May 2012.
• Overall accelerator systems continue to proceed steadily towards completion of the project
