10 NSF FY 2007 Budget MREFC Account

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting11 Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope (GSMT) Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Square Kilometer Array (SKA)

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting12 Exciting Time for EPP Deep Questions: –TeraScale –Dark Energy, Dark Matter –Neutrinos –Proton Decay –CMB,… Powerful Facilities: –Existing Tevatron (CDF, DØ) LHC (ATLAS, CMS, LHCb,..) –Planning DUSEL ILC

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting13 The Scientific Case NRC EPP2010 (2006) Deep Science (2006) Physics of the Universe (2004) Connecting Quarks to Cosmos (2003) HEPAP P5 Roadmap Boards, panels, AAAC, Decadal Survey

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting14 NSF/EPP Underlying Themes Empowering University-Based Investigators Adding Value –Partnerships Building Interdisciplinary Collaboration –Broadening Participation Single Investigators Non-traditional/Underrepresented participants Research at Undergraduate Institutions –Education and Outreach Activities

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting15 NSF/EPP Portfolio University Program –Accelerator based physics Hadron Colliders: CDF, DØ, CMS, ATLAS, LHCb Electron Positron Colliders: CLEO-c, BaBar Neutrinos: MINOS, NOVA, MINERvA, MiniBooNE, Double CHOOZ… –Particle Astrophysics and Non-Accelerator based physics Pierre Auger, SDSS, CDMS, COUPP, Xenon 10, Drift, Veritas, … –Theory –Computational physics LHC Experiment Construction and Operations DUSEL CESR/CLEO-c Accelerator and Detector R&D –ILC Accel and Det R&D –MICE –Advanced Technologies Partnerships & Broader Impacts

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting16 Particle Physics Funding History

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting17 Partnerships Cyberscience –DISUN/Tier 2c (with OCI) –UltraLight (with OCI) –Trillium and OSG (with OCI and DOE) Education with research –QuarkNet (with OMA, EHR and DOE/HEP) –CHEPREO (with OMA, OCI, EHR, OISE) –I2U2 (with OMA, EHR) –Mariachi (OCI funded) –CyberBridges (OCI funded)

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting18 NSF Partnership with DOE NSF is committed to close partnership with DOE on several fronts on EPP: –LHC (construction of detectors, NSF supporting science on ATLAS, CMS, PHY $18M/yr + OCI $1M/yr) –DUSEL (NSF steward; DOE supports R&D) –ILC (DOE steward; NSF & DOE on FALC and R&D; NSF $1.44M in FY07)

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting19 NSF/DOE Partnership Example ILC Accelerator R&D at Cornell –Recent SRF Cavity Development Cornell, in collaboration with KEK, has reached a new world record accelerating field in a single cell superconducting niobium cavity : Eacc = MV/m.

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting20 NSF/DOE Partnership Example QuarkNet Currently: 53 Centers in 25 States & Puerto Rico Active research participants: 500 High School Teachers 100 High School Students 150 Physicist Mentors Coverage: 12 Major Expts + GRID Immersive research experiences for HS Teachers and Students

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting21 Messages to “take away” –NSF is and expects to remain a strong supporter of the Fermilab experimental program and its broader impacts. –NSF has a successful history of partnerships with DOE/OHEP LHC: Detector Construction and LHC Operations Pierre Auger, KamLAND, CDMS, Veritas,… QuarkNet –NSF vision of partnerships for the Future ILC: DOE is lead, with NSF in supporting role DUSEL: NSF is lead, with DOE in supporting role

T. Chan, NSF 40 th Fermilab Users Meeting22 MPS Facilities in Development & Under Construction Facilities under Construction: ALMA: new baseline, early operations increases to $8.2M. IceCube: operations initiated at $1.5M level Advanced LIGO: construction begins FY LHC (+DOE): coming online soon, delay? Design and Development: DUSEL: will begin formally in FY 2008, $8.0M, building on previous Discovery Research. Just concluded S3 reverse site visit. GSMT (TMT + GMT): $5M R&D. ATST: In “readiness” stage. Cultural & EIS challenges. Other Projects: Light source: planning to convene panel on NSF role. LHC Experiment Upgrades ILC: Cost? When?
