[FFA_CEBAF_Collab] [EXTERNAL] sections for FOA narrative

[Brooks, Stephen]

I just looked at one of Dejan's templates and after "Research and Methods" and before "Conclusion" in the below, we might also add short (<~1page) sections on:

- Timeline/milestones
- Risk mitigation
(what are the risks, what we do if things go wrong, etc.)
- Communications plan
(i.e. our regular meetings, presentation at conferences, papers etc.)

Here's my idea of how it could break down, while complying with the FOA instructions:-


Field 7: Project Summary/Abstract [MAX 1 PAGE]
- Project title
- List of lead PIs and co-PIs from each institution
- Abstract:
  - Motivation for 20+GeV energy upgrade of CEBAF (~1 para)
    - Physics case
  - Justification of techniques proposed (~1 para)
    - Upgrade requires extra turns in the RLA
    - Why is this only possible with permanent magnet arcs?
    - Space/cost advantage of using 2 FFAs vs. 5-6 more recirculating lines
    - This technology has been proven at CBETA
  - What we'll do in this proposal (~1-2 paras)
    - Accelerator design studies: content and justification and expected results
    - Magnet component research: building, testing field and radiation resistance
  - What we'll have achieved (last sentence)
    - An end-to-end lattice for CEBAF with major new components risk-reduced


Field 8: Project Narrative [max 24 pages for collaborative, 16 pages for non-collaborative, I'd suggest don't go over ~18 pages]
- DOE title page form (1 page, doesn't count towards total)
- DOE title page supplement for collaborative applications  (1 page, doesn't count towards total)

- Background/Introduction (~3 pages)
  - Explain the importance of the 20GeV CEBAF upgrade
    - Why is this relevant to the FOA funding opportunity description of "transformative accelerator R&D of relevance to current or next generation NP accelerator facilities that accelerates discovery science to the benefit of the public"?
  - Cite any supporting or relevant literature to put this in context
  - Explain the technologies used
    - What is an FFA and what are its advantages here?
    - What are the advantages of permanent magnets here?  Why can't we use normal-conducting magnets?

- Results from Previous Research (~2 pages)
  - Mainly giving outline of CBETA results and how the operation of that machine supports this design

- Project Objectives (~1 page)
  - Overview of what we'll do in this proposal (i.e. list the work packages) and explain how the work packages support each other

- Proposed Research and Methods [~11-12 pages total, this is the largest part]
Go through each work package and identify which lab will be doing the work.
I've allocated page count roughly proportional to money.
- Accelerator Lattice Design (BNL and JLAB) (~6 pages)
  Go through topics to be addressed, e.g.:
  - FFA arc lattice that optimises magnet field requirement
  - Evaluation of synchrotron radiation and emittance growth
  - Splitters for time of flight and M56 corrections
  - End-to-end layout geometry
- Permanent Magnet Construction (BNL) (~2-3 pages)
  - Requirements from lattice
  - Design shape, modified Halbach
  - Material considerations
  - Proposed construction methods
- Magnet Measurement and Tuning (BNL) (~2 pages)
  - Available measurement methods
  - Proposed tuning methods to be evaluated (cite CBETA tuning)
- Magnet Radiation Test (Cornell) (~1-2 pages)
  - Radiation effect on magnets and importance to our design
  - Proposed experimental setup

- Conclusion (~1-2 paras)
  - Concise statement of what we'll have after completing this project and how it advances the CEBAF upgrade effort and reduces risk
  - Perhaps mention any spin-off benefits (technology developed)

+ Many appendices as required by the FOA instructions

Hi Stephen,

I have just registered with  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__grants.gov_&d=DwIGaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=Ogg4WFNBwvADBq3fkmCLiJ7SaRDPYtawHzJElJMB0jE&m=vr4Oajolyxsm3U7PhUL4h2C0sGQ0ERW47Sfc8QfNkdI4sQH1dn7kGGkPvNCs3jbd&s=EeSFeN8PwgTDE_Vf9Bx9qOs5eMjTz0un0k0t_R3FWdo&e= <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://grants.gov/__;!!P4SdNyxKAPE!Tk8iUlgXHATw0wqPpvPAZUDJRpYqSsx2dnjSIZJ1rI39yE-2eSEPXsQwRZt25pI$>
JLAB will give me permission to access tomorrow, so I will have a clear understanding of page limits etc.
Will let you know as soon I get access.
Thanks.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Do you know the (technical) sections you need for the FOA narrative?  Can you tell us which sections BNL needs to prepare and give a rough page count of each?

The submission deadline is Friday April 8th, so we have less than 3 weeks before it has to be completely finished, plus there is admin to do.  I've started asking about preparing the BNL part of the budget here.
