Joint Photon Sciences Institute (JPSI)

• A new initiative in photon sciences to leverage the unique capabilities of NSLS-II

• Provides a vehicle to engage the broad community in collaborative projects

• New York State has committed $30 million for the JPSI building


Mission of JPSI

• Develop and enhance scientific programs that best utilize NSLS-II

• Develop enabling technologies to support JPSI programs that utilize NSLS-II

• Serve as a gateway for NSLS-II

• Educate and train the next generation of leaders in synchrotron research


Develop and Enhance Scientific Programs

Development of scientific initiatives to meet emergent opportunities:•The extraordinary brightness of NSLS-II will enable major advances in a wide range of x-ray sciences, in particular x-ray imaging, the use of nanometer x-ray probes, and equilibrium/non-equilibrium dynamics•Interdisciplinary research, in particular the interface between physical and life sciences, energy, and bridging applied and basic research


Develop and Enhance Scientific Programs

Development of novel instruments and experimental techniques:•NSLS-II will have a sizable staff with diverse technical and scientific expertise, a unique resource•Collaborate with universities, industries, research resources and BNL research departments to optimize the utilization of their expertise within the facility and to develop new instruments and experimental techniques for new scientific programs


Enabling Technologies

Development of detectors:• Most NSLS-II experiments will be detector limited• Detectors should be integrated into the design of NSLS-II scientific

programs• BNL has a world class detector program

• NSLS/Instrumentation is contracted to build detectors for LCLS• Established collaboration with IBM recently

• Detector development expertise and infrastructure of NSLS-II and BNL Instrumentation Division will be made available to collaborating JPSI researchers to enhance existing and enable new scientific programs


Enabling Technologies

Development of optics:• A wide range of optics will be needed to fully utilized the

extraordinary brightness of NSLS-II• Optics development expertise and infrastructure of

NSLS-II as well as fabrication capabilities at CFN will be made available to collaborating JPSI researchers to enhance existing and enable new scientific programs


Incubator for High Risk Experimental TechniquesExamples:• Nanometer resolution imaging of intrinsic inhomogeneity in condensed matter systems with

competing interactions• Scientific driver and collaborators from BNL and University community• NSLS/NSLS-II: x-ray physics, instrumentation, detectors

• Applications of nano-focused x-rays and inelastic x-ray scattering to catalysis and energy problems

• Scientific driver and collaborators from BNL and University community• NSLS/NSLS-II: optics, x-ray physics, instrumentation

• Development and application of X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy for dynamics studies• Scientific driver and collaborators from BNL and University community• NSLS/NSLS-II: optics, detectors, instrumentation


Gateway for NSLS-II

Education and Outreach• Although 1/3 of the NSLS users are from New York, many

institutions have not utilized, or underutilize, NSLS• Targeted efforts are required• Significant resources are needed to introduce new research

groups to the power of synchrotron radiation methods


New York State NSLS Users FY 2006

Institution Number of Users

Albert Einstein College of Medicine 17Brookhaven National Laboratory 228Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory 9Columbia University 71Cornell University 33Hunter College 6IBM Research Division 7Mount Sinai Medical Center and school of medicine 6New York University 27Rockefeller University 29SUNY @ Stony Brook 201Sarah Lawrence College 5Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research 15Wadsworth Center 5Yeshiva University 20


Growth of Users from Columbia University•Reciprocal visits by NSLS staff and Columbia faculty•Perform feasibility studies at NSLS•Several groups established long term research based at the NSLS:

• Two new faculty use NSLS for structural determination• One new faculty developed a new experimental technique to study magnetic

switching dynamics in collaboration with the NSLS• One new faculty participated in the development of new micro-diffraction

beamline and instrument at the NSLS

Outreach Efforts More resources devoted to this effort will enable similar growth in other institutions


Gateway for NSLS-II

Opportunities to work with industry• Synchrotron measurements can be very important to industry• Only 6-7 percent of NSLS users are from industry• No organized effort at present to work with industry• Opportunities exist to increase awareness and utilization of

synchrotron measurements by industry


Training of Synchrotron Researchers

•Researchers whose research primarily uses a synchrotron play an essential role in training the next generation of synchrotron scientists who will become staff at SR facilities and industries, as well as faculty

•They are also essential in introducing other researchers to SR facilities

•These faculty are likely to participate in JPSI scientific programs, development of enabling technologies, and development of NSLS-II beamlines and endstations


JPSI Construction Project Management

•Work For Others (WFO) Project funded by NYS•Must follow DOE O 413.3A on construction project management• Tailor with NYS and WFO requirements

•Plan to use Project Management & Support Infrastructure of NSLS-II for cost effectiveness

Preliminary JPSI Summary Schedule


JPSI Operations Plan

•50,000 gsf building (150 offices, 25 labs, seminar & conf. space)•Begins full operations in FY2012•Will not be a regular BNL Department w/ permanent staff

• All staff will have joint appointments in JPSI, with their permanent home appointment in another BNL department or outside institution

• This supports the concept that JPSI is an intellectual incubator and allows teams to be assembled as required without the stove-pipe constraints of conventional dept structure

•~ 150 individuals occupy the space~ 1/3 NSLS-II staff w/ joint appt in JPSI~ 1/3 full-time staff from other depts/institutions w/ joint appts in JPSI~ 1/3 post-docs, students, visitors

•FWPs and grants support JPSI research programs and outreach


JPSI Estimated Base Operating Cost

Description Estimated FY12 Cost ($)

On-site Services 62 kPhones 150 kMaterials & Service Contracts 250 kElectric Power 233 kSpace & Fuel 1,252 kOther Direct Costs 35 kLaboratory Overheads 1,519 kTotal $ 3.50 MJPSI base operations cost will initially be covered by NSLS-II Operations Funding

May recharge some costs in the future as JPSI programs matureCurrent plan is that NSLS-II will start early operations funding in FY12


JPSI Research Funding• Only needs to cover a fraction of member salaries in most cases since they

presumably already have separate funding thru their home dept/institution• Primarily covers post-docs, students, visitors, materials/supplies/travel• Very cost effective since base operating costs covered by NSLS-II and org burden rate

is very low• NSLS/NSLS-II/CFN/Core Program facilities and programs provide a base that can be

highly leveraged by modest JPSI research funding• NSLS-II detector, optics and other enabling technology R&D will be available to

support JPSI activities without requiring large capital investments or large permanent JPSI staff

• The expertise and infrastructure provided by these groups will be available to NY State institutions, BNL research programs, and NSLS-II users to initiate scientifically and technologically relevant research programs


Sources of JPSI Research and Outreach Funding

• New York State Funding• Education and outreach: Facilitate the access to NSLS-II by NY state

universities, research institutions and companies• Industrial research consortium: a group of dedicated staff to interface with

NY state industries. IBM and GE have expressed interest in joining• DOE, NSF, NIH program funding

• Collaborate with BNL research departments, universities, and industries• Incubator for high risk experimental technique development


Jump Start JPSI

•Leverage NSLS and NSLS-II staff and facilities to jump-start JPSI•Explore the use of nanometer x-ray probes, coherence•Grow industrial users, in particular target industries within New York

State•Outreach to New York State institutions


Summary

•JPSI provides a new paradigm for intellectually engaging the user community in NSLS-II

•Incubator of new techniques & applications•Brings together interdisciplinary teams•Educate and train next generation of researchers

•We seek your input in helping to shape this vision
