1 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Five-Year Plan and PDG Deliverables and Prioritized List

2 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review PDG Research Historically, research by PDG members has been recognized as the secret to the success of PDG. It is the key ingredient that assures that RPP is produced by highly qualified active physicists. Juerg Beringer– ATLAS Cheng-Ju Lin– Daya Bay Weiming Yao– ATLAS Michael Barnett– Theory/ATLAS The research time is therefore charged equally to the research project and to PDG.

3 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Scientific/Comp. FTEs Person FY08FY09FY10FY11FY12 DOE Barnett1.0 75% Beringer % Yao % Lin % Hiree % Retirees % Zyla1.0 83% Computing % TOTAL

4 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Retiree FTEs Person Paid FTE Actual Work Groom Wohl Dahl Trippe * 0.2 TOTAL Years retired ! * Trippe likely not working beyond FY08

5 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Scientific/Comp. FTEs

6 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Scientific/Comp. “PDG” FTEs PDG FTEs: Time spent on pure PDG activities (not associated research)

7 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Scientific/Comp. “PDG” FTEs Papers in RPP The number of papers we handle each edition has tripled. The number of reviews has grown even more. 650

8 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Chronically Understaffed Consequences both for Quality and Schedule. Historically RPP was completed in May or early June. Always considered vital for summer conferences. EditionLateDate Completed daysJune daysJuly daysJuly days*June 24* daysJuly daysAugust 4 * Transition to new editor; target date was March 1 instead of June 1

9 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Outsourcing? Of 170 authors, nine are Berkeley PDG members (including the 4 retirees). Over the past 20 years, PDG has been outstanding in outsourcing everything possible to others in our community. There has to be a central organization that: coordinates everything, drives the schedule, assures quality, controls the outsourcing, and produces the products.

10 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Quality Assurance Quality control has to be the critical path. The community relies on us. The only authors paid to do PDG work are in the LBNL PDG. All others are volunteers. With 170 authors, there are many points of failure. LBNL’s job to oversee all and make sure there is no failure.

11 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Budget in k$ with Overheads FY08FY09FY10FY11FY12 SWF M&S Printing8121*8622*91 Travel, etc TOTAL * RPP is not produced in odd years Totals for DOE + NSF + Japan 84% + 11% + 5% in FY09 salaries materials & supplies

12 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Budget in k$ without Overheads FY08FY09FY10FY11FY12 SWF M&S Printing6617*7018*74 Travel, etc Overhead TOTAL * RPP is not produced in odd years Totals for DOE + NSF + Japan 84% + 11% + 5% in FY09 salaries materials & supplies

13 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Budget in k$ with Overheads Totals for DOE (84%) + NSF (11%) + Japan (5%)

14 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review PDG Hardware PDG uses 2 main Linux-based servers Production server (pdg0.lbl.gov) –“Workhorse” for all PDG work (RPP production, hosts database, user accounts, backups,...) –Accessible only to PDG members –Dual-CPU 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon, 2GB RAM, 768GB RAID disk Web server (pdg1.lbl.gov) –PDG and outreach web pages –Provides other externally visible services (ordering system, mailing lists, feedback forms,...) –Not necessary for book production –Dual-CPU 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon, 2GB RAM, 256GB RAID disk

15 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Hardware Costs, Maintenance Hardware costs small –Cost of current servers was about $4k each (2004) –Expect replacement every few years as needed Basic system management done by Physics Division's system managers, including e.g. –Linux installation, security patches, etc –System monitoring –Help with configuration tasks –User account creation Other system management tasks done by PDG personnel –Backups, maintenance of PDG database,...

16 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Alternative sources of funding (national and international). In-kind contributions and deliverables. NSF: Direct funding at proportional level (10-11%) at scale of products used by NSF-supported people. Japan: Direct funding at scale of those received; In-kind to cover expenses of Japanese members. CERN: Pays for products shipped to CERN and distributed throughout Europe. It is a struggle to keep these contributions at the current level. We do push each to pay for more. Alternative funding

17 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review In-kind contributions and deliverables. The 160 non-Berkeley PDG authors are all making in-kind contributions, since they are not paid, but work typically 5% time on PDG. Their deliverables are encoding of Data Listings and writing of Reviews. The CERN Meson Team has the entire sections on strongly decaying mesons as their deliverable. SLAC has a deliverable of linking SPIRES to RPP. Mirror sites deliver the mirrors. But as discussed above, central coordination must remain. In-Kind

18 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Deliverables & Priorities The deliverables of the Particle Data Group are: 1. Web Edition 2. Particle Physics Booklet 3. Review of Particle Physics Book 4. pdgLive (current version) 5. Pocket Diary for Physicists with meetings, address/phone List for HEP universities, laboratories and agencies

19 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Why Important 3. Review of Particle Physics Book 4. pdgLive (current version) 5. Pocket Diary for Physicists with meetings, address/phone List for HEP universities, laboratories and agencies

20 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Printing Book and Booklet Relative cost of Book and Booklet depends on publisher First approximation: Book is 2.5% book booklet Fraction of PDG budget for printing

21 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Survey on Big Book THE QUESTION: Is having a copy of the full-sized book essential to your work or study? Yes, it is essential. Having the full-size book is useful, but I could live without it. No, I do not need it TOTAL Responses also provided comments

22 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Many of the people who voted "useful" made strong comments urging continuance of the full-sized book: “I could live without my right arm, but I don’t want to.” Survey on Big Book

23 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Survey on Big Book

24 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Diary / Address-Phone List Diary for Physicists with Meeting Dates Holidays for travelers Daylight Savings time changes Birthdates of famous physicists HEP Address/ Phone/ / Website List for Universities Laboratories Agencies Requested by 17,000 people

25 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review Finding the information you want will be much easier: Enable powerful searches of RPP database Produce search results with Greek and math Link References to actual papers pdgLive

26 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review What Users Told Us about pdgLive “This is one of the nicest, clearest, and most useful Web pages in HEP. Superb job.” “PDG Live is absolutely wonderful.... Plus, it's really beautiful and lots of fun. I'm so excited I can't even tell you.” “Bravo! This is the way I always hoped to browse PDG on the web!” “Question: What size army of graduate students was utilised to get pdgLive accomplished?”...

27 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review pdgLive Ultimately enable powerful searches (only possible with upgraded system) pdgLive was programmed by two Russian graduate students and their father. It is a prototype application that shows what will be possible But its code is not maintainable.

28 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review pdgLive After the Computing Upgrade, the full potential of pdgLive will be realized It will be an invaluable resource to the HEP community At essentially no ongoing cost

29 M. Barnett – September 2008 DOE Review The End
