4/8/09E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction 2
LARP continues to do good work, which is recognized by CERN 3 invited orals + 3 contributed orals + 33 posters for
PAC09 Strong solicitation to help with PS2 work
Lumi monitor on track for 2009 start up Experience with lumi has shaped some future policy
Federal budget has restored full $13M to LARP!!! $1.6M -> $2.6M contingency
4/8/09E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction 3
In the wake of the lumi situation Avoid large deliverables Implement better base line tracking for any deliverable
LARP is an “R&D” program The magnet program largely defines LARP, and should
produce a “six year plan” which results in a prototype sufficient to be a viable choice for the LHC phase II upgrade.
Other R&D LARP activities should plan around this time scale. At the end of this time, LARP will either be redefined or
disappear into accelerator R&D core programs at the various labs.
Budget DOE views LARP+APUL as one pot The overall budget will grow, but they envisions the LARP
component shrinking after the next year or so. The only way we might prevent this is to have a solid,
defensible, multi-year plan.
4/8/09E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction 4
Original plan $2.5M Finished in FY07
Currently Spent $3.6M FY09: ~$800k more Finished in FY09??
Bottom line These sorts of overruns are not unusual in real projects! LARP contingencies are far from sufficient to cover
overruns in significant deliverables. More about this shortly…
4/8/09 5E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Guidance from DOE $13M with a 6 month continuing resolution at 84%
.5*.84*13+.5*13 = $11.96M Separate money ($1-2M) found for APL planning!
General breakdown (informed by Steve’s exit advice) Accelerator Systems: $2.9M Magnet Systems: $5.0M Program Management: $2.1M
Includes LTV and Toohig Fellows (of which we have 4) Contingency: $2M
In then end, had to give up some continency to increase Program Management Recovered when the budget went through, but will
probably use it all.
4/8/09 6E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Crab cavities Original request: $700k
Cavity design Cryomodule design LLRF
Budget: $300k Rely on “off books” help in cavity design from LBNL and
Jlab Defer cryomodule and LLRF work
PS2 Uli Wienands developed a number of plans under various
funding scenarios In the end, budgeted $100K, primarily for travel and M&S,
assuming that most scientific time would be contributed.

Primary input Reevaluation of magnet systems costs Shortfalls in crystal collimation program Labor overruns Taking advantage of incrased budget to relieve straing on SLAC’s
core program
Working to make up for BNL overrun in next request4/8/09E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction 13
Lumi and rotatable collimator should ramp down considerably, allowing concentration on other significant commitments
Candidates: Crab cavity effort
Crab cavities deflect the beam to compensate for crossing angle.
Potential to dramatically increase luminosity under most likely Phase II upgrade scenario
PS2 Activities CERN has requested LARP help in the design (white
paper study) of the PS2, which will replace the PS for the phase II upgrade.
4/8/09 14E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Pros Potentially a big impact on luminosity Lots of intellectual interest in US community Can be divided into well-defined tasks that are
straightforward to monitor. Cons
Barring a budget windfall, LARP will not have the resources to take a significant role in construction, so must coordinate with multiple labs/countries/funding agencies.
Current plan relies on SBIR grants If badly managed, potentially a black hole of resources
that never accomplishes anything. Bottom line:
LARP’s role in crab cavities will necessarily be limited If crab cavities are to succeed, it must be through a
significant coordinated effort.
4/8/09 15E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Pros Lots of opportunities to make contributions Well aligned with US interests and expertise, particularly
Project X Involvement “scalable” Our involvement both desired and assumed by CERN
Cons Activity and goals not as well defined Danger of funding a lot of people to “think about stuff”
Potential areas of focus Injection issues Electron cloud Laser stripping? We will handle this effectively like “new initiatives”
4/8/09 16E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Assume flat-flat budget over next year or so Will work on this, but don’t expect miracles ~$12-$13M/yr
Lumi and Rotating collimators will ramp down Would be naïve to assume they go to zero
Several things positioning to take their place Existing efforts (Ecloud, beam beam, jirs) New things (PS2, crab cavities)
Either PS2 or crab cavities could easily use out AS budget And it would be well spent.
Have to make tough choices Can’t do everything we want

Labor+MTSC Preliminary FY10
4/8/09 18E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
LARP had a period of rapid growth in the earlier yeas, which led to some over- optimism
4/8/09 19E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Official LARP change control policies essentially ignored.
No consistent rules for dealing with burdens at different labs
Budget and schedule not integrated Earned value reporting must be done by hand, if it’s done
at all No systematic way of dealing with different types
of contingency “deliverables” should have significant assigned contingency R&D projects should have “scope contingency”, possibly
adjusted by an uncommitted unassigned contingency pool. No formal accounting for “off books” contributions
from member labs. Developing future budget profile a nightmare.
4/8/09 20E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
From LARP “Management Plan”:
Problem LARP doesn’t even have an informal base line Large changes can sneak in at the annual budget without
being noticed Example: in order to see the budget and schedule
problems with the lumi monitor, it’s necessary to forensically examine old task sheets.
4/8/09 21E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Reminder: the entire AS + MS budget is $3M+$5M, which is ~10+20 FTE’s or so.
We get a significant amount of additional scientific effort contributed in two ways: Explicit LHC work supported through the unassigned
“core” program ~6 FTE’s at SLAC ~6 FTE’s at FNAL Some CBP time from LBNL
Time which benefits LARP through common interest ~2 FTE’s at BNL working on RHIC projects which benefit
the LHC as well This is primarily for the AS, for which it is a large
part.
4/8/09 22E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Put LARP budget and schedule into a single MS Project file
Define burdens and labor rates correctly for the four member labs Eg, “BNL engineer”, “SLAC scientist”, etc…
For every labor category, have an equivalent “off books” category with an appropriately PC name (“common effort”?), which is not included in the normal roll-up, but can be rolled up separately.
Progress is updated monthly by designated L2 and L3 managers.
Implement formal change control and change logging.
Project used to formulate long term plan and budget profile.
4/8/09 23E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Ken Domann has translated the currrent WBS chart, as well as other information, into a fully loaded MS Project file.
Budget expenses will be charged against rolled project line items Need to identify FNAL person to do this once a month
For each subtask, a responsible person will be identified. Ken will email him an Excel spreadsheet each month on
which he will report progress on his tasks and milestones Ken will generate standard earned value reports on
a monthly basis. For schedule or budget changes beyond those
specified on 3.4, we will generate proper CR’s which must be approved by the Executive Committee(?)
4/8/09 24E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
Get lumi monitor working prior to 2009 start up LARP reputation depends on it
Protect core magnet program Insure that LARP produces a prototype Nb3Sn magnet on a
time scale that makes it a viable choice for the Phase II upgrade.
Complete rotating collimator prototype This has been a significant LARP activity, and it’s important
that we produce a prototype on a time scale that will allow it to be part of the collimation solution.
Continue to support Toohig Fellows and Long Term Visitors Very important link to CERN LARP supported visitors making significant and well received
contributions. Choose from remaining AS activities based on a risk
reward analysis4/8/09 25E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction
4/8/09E. Prebys,CM12 Introduction 26
Our goal is to have a six year plan by our June DOE review, which will form the basis of our FY10 budget.
All discussion this week should focus on multi-year schedule and deliverables.
Immediately following this meeting, we will begin intense project planning sessions will Ken. Be ready
