Jefferson Lab’s Enabling Technologies: A Call for Strategic Planning W. OREN JLAB Engineering Division 8 December 2011
Enabling Technology • Characteristics: • Essential to accelerator operations and the experimental program • Lab-driven: design, development, engineering and application • requires unique skills • Extends the Lab’s scientific reach • In some cases, provides efficiencies and cost-savings required for successful facility upgrades and new experimental equipment projects
Jefferson Lab’s Enabling Technology • Why include in strategic planning? • Enabling technologies are absolutely necessary for success of the lab’s ongoing experimental program and scientific extensions • Strategic investment will sustain and, as appropriate, strengthen the core engineering capabilities needed to deliver scientific program • Targeted R&D will advance core technology in support of the Lab’s scientific agenda
Enabling Technologies at JLab • Magnets • Superconducting • Normal conducting • SRF Engineering • Cryomodule/mechanical engineering • RF modeling and structures • RF controls • 2K Cryogenics • Detectors/fast electronics • High-powered targets • Beam diagnostics • Engineered safety systems
What’s Next? • Identify the Lab’s key enabling technologies • Develop a strategic plan for each: • Technology requirements to achieve the scientific mission at JLab and, by extension, support the U.S. and international science community • R&D, as appropriate • Define resource needs • Schedule • Partnerships
