THE DOE HEP PROGRAM THE DOE HEP PROGRAM 2

Implementing a Program of Discovery Science Drivers identify the scientific motivation while Research Frontiers provide a useful categorization of experimental techniques 3 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015 HEP Research program support reflects the science priorities of P5

P5 Recommendation: – Form a new international collaboration to design and execute a highly capable Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) hosted by the U.S. To proceed, a project plan and identified resources must exist to meet the minimum requirements in the text [of the report]. LBNF is the highest-priority large project in its timeframe. The Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) 4 In short, asks Fermilab to do for neutrinos what CERN did for the Higgs boson, involving the worldwide community HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

Progress has been extremely rapid since the P5 report was released: Framework for internationalization of LBNF/DUNE established DUNE Spokespersons and Technical & Resources Coordinators appointed DUNE Executive Committee in-place DUNE Institutional Board Chair elected Experiment-Facility Interface Group (EFIG) established U.S.-CERN Bilateral Cooperation Agreement Signed Deputy Director for LBNF appointed CD-1 Refresh Review held Next steps:  Approval of Protocols to the U.S.-CERN Bilateral Cooperation Agreement  CD-1 Refresh DOE-agency Approval  Establish Common Projects and Common Funds for international DUNE  CD-2a/3a (long-lead procurement) Review & DOE-agency Approval  FY 2017 Budget Request  CD-2 (baseline) Review & DOE-agency Approval LBNF/DUNE Progress 5 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

The U.S. HEP Program U.S. particle physics research involves over 150 universities and laboratories in 43 states (plus Washington, DC) Major activities at 5 national laboratories (ANL, BNL, FNAL, LBNL, SLAC) involving ~2,600 FTEs University research program consists of ~250 active grants to >100 institutions, involving ~1,700 FTEs A few small, specialized research efforts at other SC and NNSA labs 6 Map data from 2013

Laboratory research is mission driven and funded through Field Work Proposals – HEP holds comparative reviews of the Laboratory research programs every ~3 years e.g., Energy Frontier review in late July Program guidance to the Laboratories is provided by HEP with input from a variety of sources, including: – The Laboratories themselves Local strengths and resources – Advisory committees – Institutional reviews University & Laboratory Research 7 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015 University research is supported by a competitive, proposal-driven process – Grants issued after peer review of proposals submitted to Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) Program alignment is built into proposal review process: – Relevance to HEP mission is explicit in review criteria – HEP programmatic priorities inform the peer review process – Program Managers consider reviewer feedback and program priority when determining awards

14 HEP FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA): COMPARATIVE REVIEWS

DE-FOA issued July 14, 2015 Six HEP research subprograms – Energy, Intensity, and Cosmic Frontiers – HEP Theory – Accelerator and Detector Science and Technology R&D Letter of Intent due August 13, 2015 – Strongly encouraged, but if you missed the deadline: please notify us by of intent to submit a full proposal Final Proposal due Sep. 17, 2015 by 5 PM Eastern Time In addition to information provided in FOA, a FAQ is available and addresses topics on: – Registration and Eligibility requirements – Proposal types and proposal requirements – Guidance for new faculty and those without current HEP grants – Guidance for PIs with existing HEP grants – Letter of Intent – Budget information and guidance on scope of request(s) – Information on overall scientific merit review process FY16 HEP Comparative Review FOA and FAQ Both the FOA and FAQ available at: 15 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

Data Management Plans (DMPs) – All Research proposals to DOE/SC must have a data management plan Includes HEP comparative review, Early Career Does not include conferences, workshops, operations, projects – Please make sure applicants know that the requirement for a data management plan will be strictly enforced. Any research thrust in a proposal without a DMP will be declined without review. All Renewal proposals will need to also submit “proposal products” (essentially recent publications and other records of science outcomes from DOE-supported research) after the application is submitted – PIs will be notified by PAMS and have 5 days to respond – We cannot review incoming proposals until this step is completed – In the future, these will be captured with your annual Progress Report, but during the transition phase, you will need to enter them by-hand Important Changes for FY HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

What DOE supports – Research efforts (mainly scientists) on R&D, experiment design, fabrication, data-taking, analysis-related activities – Theory, simulations, phenomenology, computational studies – Some engineering support may be provided in the Detector R&D subprogram Support depends on merit review process and programmatic factors – Efforts that are in direct support of our programs Faculty support – Based on merit reviews and/or optimizing the number of research personnel supported by financial assistance awards, support of up to 2-months summer salary – Summer support should be adjusted according to % time the faculty is on research effort Research Scientists – Support may be provided, but due to long-term expectations, need to consider case-by-case on merits: whether the roles and responsibilities are well-matched with individual capabilities and cannot be fulfilled by a term position – Efforts are related towards research; not long-term operations and/or project activities What’s not supported by research grants – Any significant operations and/or project-related activities: Engineering, major items of equipment, consumables for prototyping or production – Non-HEP related efforts Gravity waves (LIGO), Heavy Ion (RHIC), AMO Science, etc… HEP Research Activities Supported 17 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

Generally very useful to have head-to-head reviews of PIs working in similar areas, particularly for large grants Lots of discussion of relative strengths and weaknesses of individual proposals and PIs Many factors weigh into final funding decisions – Compelling research proposal for next ~3 years Interesting? Novel? Significant? Plausibly achievable? × Incremental? Implausibly ambitious? Poorly presented? – Significant recent contributions in last 3-4 years Synergy and collaboration within group (as appropriate) Contributions to the research infrastructure of experiments – Alignment with programmatic priorities – Balanced program of R&D/design, support of construction or operations, data analysis This may span several experiments over a 3 year proposal Supportive of excellent people, including excellent new people, even when times are tough! Programmatic Considerations 18 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

Factors weighing into final funding decisions – Compelling research proposal for next ~3 years Demonstrable impact on DUNE R&D/fabrication plan or performance Supports current timeline for DOE CD’s or other milestones × Outside of DUNE plan, not timely, or no clear leadership role × Project activities – Significant recent contributions in last 3-4 years Should be able to show science impact/leadership in neutrino physics and/or detector development – Alignment with programmatic priorities Highest priority mid-term HEP project – Balanced program of R&D/design, support of construction or operations, data analysis DUNE research program will be focused on first item in next ~3 years PIs should look to other experiments for possible operations or analysis elements during this period Particular Considerations for DUNE 19 HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/2015

DOE HEP is executing its Research mission by supporting and implementing the P5 plan – Priority is given to specific projects or efforts recommended – DUNE/LBNF is the highest priority major project in the mid-term There are several opportunities for investigators in U.S. program to get better informed and involved – Specific funding opportunities, discussions with HEP PMs – Opportunities at funding agencies Particle physics has a long history of leading successful efforts to “internationalize” science – Tevatron, BaBar, LHC just the most recent examples – LBNF/DUNE gives the U.S. the opportunity to set a strong example in hosting its first international “megascience” facilityOutlook HEP Status and Opportunities - 9/4/
