  7. Progress: LHC Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  8. Progress: LHC • All magnets in the damaged sector are back in the tunnel • New circuits and wiring for the quench protection system: quenches will be detected much earlier • Two review committees: analysis and recommendations • Quench Protection System (half Fermilab members) • Overall Risk • Many more “bad splices”, especially in copper-to-copper splices in interconnecting busbars (suggested by QPS review committee) Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  9. Progress: LHC • Additional sector (4-5) warming up: “to verify measurements at 80 K” – they check out • Two more leaks in two cold sectors found and understood. Partial warming to fix them means ready for injection in mid- November at best • Important for detectors to get some collision data at any energy • Fermilab’s contributions recognized by Bertolucci at the Users Meeting, Rolf Heuer at the European Physical Society meeting Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  24. Progress: all other fronts Particle astrophysics going well, both projects and new ideas. DES is on track Key strategy to develop beamline to Homestake and high intensity source at Fermilab recognized in DOE Will the funding be available over the next decade? Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  25. Briefings to the new administration Two hour briefing to Undersecretary Koonin and Office of Science Director Brinkman on general laboratory planning in April One and half hour briefing to Director Brinkman last week specifically on the development of the neutrino program globally and at Fermilab We have made needs clear: now administration has to decide what roadmap Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  26. Ten-year plan at the three frontiers Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  30. Operational issues • Many issues are taking a lot of attention: • IT restructuring • ES&H and Take Five Campaign • Cyber-security audit and Tune It Up Campaign • Implementation of IQA • Implementation of EVMS • Engineering Manual • Focus groups conclusions Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  31. Organization chart and changes Computing S&T Associate Director MIS Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  32. Operations: ES&H +1s +1s Concern over increase in injuries Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  33. Operations: ES&H +1s Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  34. ES&H: “Take Five – Goal Zero” Started new laboratory wide campaign modeled on other institutions Take five minutes to plan how to do the work - take five seconds to think of what you are going to do and take five things to reflect on when the job is done Web page and tools to help do jobs safely Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  35. ES&H: “Take Five – Goal Zero” Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  36. Operations: cyber-security DOE audit revealed several lapses: • Open offices with computers on • System administrators ignoring system warnings • Sloppy PII procedures in some practices Overall grade: marginal Response: major effort to get better Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  37. Cyber-security • Tune IT Up! Campaign • Limit number of system administrators • Train remaining administrators • Implement more software controls Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  38. Operations: IQA Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  39. Operations: IQA Accepted IQA plan “As is” assessment completed Corrective Action Plan submitted Trying to fix main problems prior to Fall audit Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  40. EVMS certification Certification review led to three corrective actions: • Tracking “uncosted” scientific effort through hours • Procedure for “management reserve” • Charging direct cost of exempt personnel (instead of fraction of FTEs) Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  41. Engineering manual Following triplet failure and “root cause analysis”, established committee to write an engineering process manual. Final draft is nearly complete. It has been a very useful exercise and we have a product that will set the process and standards across the lab Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  42. Response to APS study • Follow-up to findings of APS site visit in May 2008 • 23 focus groups, November through January • 187 total participants • Participants enthusiastic, open and constructive in their contributions Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  43. Response to APS study • Approach: • 12 categories of employees and users • Random selection from whole population • Random selection from women and minorities • Neutral facilitator, all groups confidential • Detailed summaries of each group w/o attribution • All results posted on Web • Important conclusions to improve various systems Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  44. Focus groups No systemic diversity issues But lots of management issues • No defined Fermilab culture • Two tier system: physicist and non-physicists • Unskilled managers • Lack of employee support • Lack of understanding of performance review and salary management • Policies and procedures not explained/understood • Inconsistent application of family-friendly policies Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  45. Focus groups Held an “all-hands” meeting in June to discuss the various issues raised by the report All the information posted on the web. Supervisors encouraged to discuss both findings and summaries with their groups We will discuss broadly ideas to improve on the various issues raised and implement changes over the next year Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  46. FY09 budget Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  47. FY09 budget We had to live through March with very restrictive budgets due to the continuing resolution: $60M difference between FY08 enacted budget and President’s budget Then huge ramp up in activity due to regular budget (only $10M below the President’s request) and ARRA funding. Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  48. FY09 budget: ops & projects Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  49. FY10 budget On the surface it appears like a good budget at $398 M, about $20M higher than FY09 However, NOvA ramps up by about $30M and therefore the rest of the program is under stress The stress is ameliorated by managing carryover funds: $10M would be used in FY10 for a total budget of $408M Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009

  50. FY11 budget We don’t know about the FY11 budget However, the distress exercises we do for OHEP indicates that budget guidance from OMB at this point is extremely tight – probably flat-flat for Office of Science Initial plans do not include running the Tevatron. OHEP is making the case for an additional $27M to run the Tevatron to Office of Science Pier Oddone, FRA Admin and Ops Review, August 3rd, 2009
