US Department of Energy - OHEP Accelerator R&D Task Force Report Stuart Henderson, FNAL May 10, 2012

History and Background There are two ideas relative to Accelerator R&D that we take as given now: That there is such a field as accelerator R&D which is focused on the long-range science and technology of accelerators That DOE/OHEP serves as the steward of long-range accelerator R&D There is another, closely related, idea that we are busy trying to make the case for: Accelerator technology benefits society in direct and tangible ways By pursuing fundamental R&D, we develop technology that creates jobs, improves our standard of living, and benefits society May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 2

1980: M. Tigner Panel Emphasized that support for long-range accelerator development was critical for the future of high energy physics and 4% of HEP operations funding is an appropriate funding level for advanced accelerator R&D This panel was largely responsible for establishing the proposal-based HEP program that has been funding long-range accelerator R&D for the past few decades May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 3

1994: J. Marx Panel DOE Office of Energy Research (OER) requested a broad assessment of the current status and promise of the field of accelerator physics and technology with respect to the five OER programs Executive Summary This subpanel believes that DOE have de facto held a national trust for the stewardship of accelerator science and technology development. This has provided the foundation for essential capabilities needed both for the DOE mission and for addressing broader national interests Stewardship of accelerator science and technology should be acknowledged as an explicit part of the overall DOE Energy Research mission. This requires – – – – – Appropriate investment Support for training Each program to have proposal-driven, peer reviewed long-term accelerator R&D as part of its portfolio Charging OER advisory committees s with recommending the level of long-term accelerator R&D funding for each program OER program officers and laboratory managers to make a special effort to nurture societal applications May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 4

Accelerators for America’s Future Motivation: Show the uses and importance of accelerators by (for) the Nation To be used to make the case for Federal support Obtain assessments of the major technical challenges, most promising (transformational) areas of R&D, identify obstacles to transfer of accelerator R&D to technology deployment To be used in establishing and managing a program with expanded scope – – – Maintains US leadership and competitiveness in accelerator technology With HEP as the identified national steward Organize it to invove relevant federal programs/agencies, meets their needs and Improve transfer of basic accelerator research to technology deployment 12

Why another panel? Senate mark-up “The Committee understands that powerful new accelerator technologies created for basic science and developed by industry will produce particle accelerators with the potential to address key economic and societal issues confronting our Nation. However, the Committee is concerned with the divide that exists in translating breakthroughs in accelerator science and technology into applications that benefit the marketplace and American competitiveness.” “The Committee directs the Department to submit a 10-year strategic plan by June 1, 2012 for accelerator technology research and development to advance accelerator applications in energy and the environment, medicine, industry, national security, and discovery science. The strategic plan should be based on the results of the Department’s 2010 workshop study, Accelerators for America’s Future, that identified the opportunities and research challenges for next-generation accelerators and how to improve coordination between basic and applied accelerator research. The strategic plan should also identify the potential need for demonstration and development facilities to help bridge the gap between development and deployment.” May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 13

Larger National Priorities Presidential Memorandum on Accelerating Technology Transfer and Commercialization of Federal Research in Support of High Growth Businesses (Oct. 28, 2011) – President Obama directed Agencies with Federal laboratories “ to establish performance goals to increase the number and pace of effective technology transfer and commercialization activities in partnership with non-federal entities, including private firms, research organizations, and non-profit entities.” 14 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 14

Specific Task Force Suggestions May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 37

Encourage stakeholder engagement: “The Round Table” The Office of High Energy Physics (OHEP), being the historical steward of long-term accelerator and accelerator-related research and development, could consider leading an accelerator and/or peripheral working group, an oversight panel, a steering group or a Board of Stakeholders. This would involve intra-agency and interagency program managers as well as industry representatives and technical advisors in the area of accelerators May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 38

Engage partners by communicating capabilities and streamlining access National laboratories, user facilities and other accelerator R&D facilities of the Office of Science would all benefit from more direct and open communication. This would include the development of simple user-friendly procedures to give customers (for example, other agencies and industry) access to national laboratory infrastructure (computing centers, test facilities, test stations and technology infrastructure) and, equally importantly, to expertise (people and results). This could include the provision to perform proprietary research, or at least research in access-controlled areas. In many cases the use of this infrastructure could be modeled after well-established principles from BES user facilities and represented by the National User Facility Organization (http://nufo.org/). May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 39

Streamline processes to encourage partnerships with Industry The Office of Science/OHEP can work to identify, understand and resolve the concerns from industry and other agencies regarding protection of incoming and generated intellectual property or information. It would be useful to have, for this purpose and as a basis, a template applicable to all user facilities and infrastructure at Office of Science national laboratories. Such templates could cover all aspects of a contractual arrangement that is typically negotiated every time an arrangement is put in place. May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 40

Leverage the SBIR/STTR Programs Leveraging the SBIR/STTR funding with a specific focus on energy and environment, medicine, industry and defense and security apart from discovery science could strengthen these parts of the program, providing an easy way to direct some money towards the topic areas identified in the Accelerators for America’s Future workshop. May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 41

Focus efforts by forming interdisciplinary teams to solve problems: Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams The Office of Science OHEP’s wealth of knowledge and vast infrastructure could be channeled to establish Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams (CARTs) focused on specific challenges detailed in the Accelerators for America’s Future workshop. OHEP, with its stewardship program as well as the other directorates through its national laboratories, could direct its capabilities towards specific issues in the areas of energy and the environment, medicine, industry, defense and security and discovery science. The interdisciplinary Teams, drawing from national laboratories, other agencies, industry and universities, would have a clear mission, a finite duration and are competitively bid. Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task May 10, 2012 42 Force

Establish a Program in Applied Accelerator Technology The Office of Science could establish a program with the purpose of bringing industry, laboratories and universities together to foster the application of energy and the environment, accelerator technology in industry, medicine, defense and security and discovery science. May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 43

Ensure the accelerator workforce of tomorrow by expanding educational programs The particle accelerator workforce would significantly benefit from an extension and addition to what is currently available in education programs. Workforce development for particle accelerator R&D has traditionally been a major emphasis of in the HEP and theparticular, Office of Science, and some of the NSF programs. Though close contacts between universities and national laboratories exist, the Office of Science could help involve more universities in accelerator education programs. It could also facilitate more integration with industry, giving it easier access to these programs. Copyright W.A. Barletta May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 44

Infrastructure Proposal 1 Scripps Proton Therapy Center, San Diego; Courtesy: VARIAN Medical Systems confidential The medical community would benefit from a discussion of how the current R&D program could help on the route to a National Resources for Hadron Beam Medical Facilities. The Office of Science could develop a stepwise implementation plan for providing beams, developing beams and beam delivery systems for a costefficient production of such facility. May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 45

Infrastructure Proposal 2 The Office of Science could consider providing a home for laser R&D under its auspices. Lasers, an enabling technology, have become an integral part of accelerators and provide tremendous potential for new methods of acceleration, for miniaturization of accelerators and as part of accelerator systems. May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 46

What does this mean for Fermilab? We are in exactly the right place at the right time The Illinois Accelerator Research Center mission is exactly to meet the need identified in the Senate language: “ the divide that exists in translating breakthroughs in accelerator science and technology into applications that benefit the marketplace and American competitiveness ” May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 47

Summary This is a new way of thinking and represents a real opportunity Implementing some of the ideas would mean doing business a bit differently We hope that our input will last longer and go deeper than some of the other panels. But that needs Office of Science on board May 10, 2012 Overview: US DOE Accelerator R&D Task Force 48
