Fermilab Budget Presentation Research Program Hugh Montgomery February 27, 2006

f 2 Physics Research Program Particle physics -- understand what are the fundamental components of our universe and how they interact. Experimental research uses Accelerators –complex of accelerators at Fermilab, Tevatron Collider, Neutrinos –Large Hadron Collider, CERN, Switzerland. Cosmic radiation; –optical telescopes –charged cosmic rays –WIMPS – cold dark matter Two theoretical physics groups –particle physics –cosmology. All the components of the research program are naturally intertwined.

CDMS –Best limits in the world –Starting full operation (5 towers) now cooled down –Looking to future (NSF funding, DOE proposal, FNAL in management, cryo,and electronics, all at controlled scale, 25 kg) JDEM –Some important work for SNAP, mainly physicist effort & electronics COUPP –Liquid Bubble chamber for cold dark matter

Michigan, UK Consortium (UC London (PPARC), Portsmouth) Spanish Consortium (IEEC (Astrophysics), IFAE & CIEMAT (HEP)), all with contributions. –We need reading from DETF? –They need reading from FNAL/DOE to convince to commit.

f February 27, Computing Computing for Run II continues to do well –Production keeps pace with data taking Improvements to handle higher occupancies Improvements in calibration methodology –Analysis pace is also maintained –Flexibility of resources has been important –Record utilization of grid implementations for both experiments –Large non-FNAL, non-US, in-kind, contributions of computing CMS C&S –Hardware installation tempered to match schedule –Deploy analysis computing just-in-time –Staffing has required internal transfers –Impact of team approach (physicists and computing professionals) is evident Fermilab installed infrastructure (to Starlight) is part of operations, ESNET planning situation has improved Infrastructure is a continuing issue down the line

f February 27, Central Computing & Networking Lattice Project, Fermilab managing across BNL, FNAL and TJNAF, FNAL core support for the infrastructure FermiGRID strategy is almost completely implemented, all farms participate, it has become a necessity Open Science Grid is becoming increasingly important to a widening range of stakeholders. Cyber Security Assist visits went extremely well, they identified several best practices which they are trying to propagate to other labs. It would be nice to see some return on this.

f February 27, Central Computing & Networking But … Operational and support staff (eg Networking) are under heavy pressure. Especially for Run II, this pinches the scientist leadership opportunities It is difficult to improve when budgets are declining and when the outside world continues to attract, and be attracted by, our best people. There is reliance also on remote, international computing for Run II, with cooperation on interoperability – our committees warn us that this is vulnerable to LHC competition Support for traditional software, for example, simulations, ROOT, GEANT, needs to grow, especially for ILC. We are attempting to rationalize DAQ/Controls effort for accelerator work, ILC controls initiatives, and some experiment support
