19 Neutrinos: MiniBooNE MiniBooNE rules out to 98% CL the LSND result interpreted as   e oscillations described with standard L/E dependence The as-yet-unexplained deviation of MiniBooNE data from prediction at low-energy Under investigation

20 MCMC MINOS MC SuperK By 2009 K2K MINOS 2007 Neutrinos: MINOS sin 2 2  23 +  m  

21 Neutrinos: expanding program Minos: search for electron appearance MiniBooNE: what is happening at low energy SciBooNE (from K2K detector) running well Minerva construction started NOvA project start; CD2/3a this November

Particle Astrophysics: SDSS As seen in: National Geographic, Hoshi Navi and Newton (Japanese magazines), and soon in a college-level Chemistry textbook (Silberberg)

23 This plot shows constraints on cosmological parameters from SDSS galaxy distribution. Yellow and orange are WMAP [1 year and 3 year]; red is adding in SDSS. Notice how constraints on w and neutrino mass are especially tightened by SDSS. SDSS: combined results WMAP

24 CDMS Running at Soudan Current sensitivity of CDMS Xenon10 limit Published CDMS limit DAMA MSSM ~650 kg-day exposure Large calibration data sets High efficiency for collecting data CDMS is the only direct detection dark matter experiment currently running without backgrounds!

25 Pierre Auger Hybrid event (~10 19 eV) recorded by four fluorescence telescopes and the surface array

26 Pierre Auger: Energy spectrum Calibration unc. 18% FD syst. unc. 22% 5165 km 2 sr yr ~ 0.8 full Auger year Exp Obs > / > / Suppression evident at high energy

27 Additional impounded results Remarkable first result from COUPP. Submitted to Science Exciting results on the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from Pierre Auger. Submitted to Science

28 Major issue: planning for the future What is the national program: especially the accelerator based domestic program? Planning has to be centered on recovering the energy frontier: ILC But there are unresolved issues Sufficient energy at 0.5 TeV? Domestic and international arrangements? When?

29 Problems with competitive situation In a world with a delayed ILC or no ILC – grave risk that we are left ONLY with accelerator R&D without world leading facilities either at the energy frontier or the intensity frontier Once we are in that bucket: much harder to get out to a position to build the next global facility: the accelerator based program will be smaller

30 Problem: selection vs. roadmap We have selected the projects to start: DES, NOvA, Daya Bay – only NOvA is a “large project”. It is the start of a roadmap Problem: “…I want a dialog with the HEP community…” leads to “we’ll talk to you in three years….” Example: can say “wait until we know sin 2  13 ” or build a roadmap that depends on that number

31 Fermilab Steering Group Steering Group NOT to provide a plan A vs. plan B, rather an integrated roadmap with discovery opportunities in the next two decades that: supports the international R&D and engineering design for as early a start of the ILC as possible and supports the development of Fermilab as a potential host site for the ILC; develops options for an accelerator-based high energy physics program in the event the start of the ILC construction is slower than the technically-limited schedule; and

32 Fermilab Steering Group includes the steps necessary to explore higher energy colliders that might follow the ILC or be needed should the results from LHC point toward a higher energy than that planned for the ILC Broad community engagement under the leadership of deputy director Young Kee Kim

33 What we are asking P5 Take into consideration it takes a minimum of four years to break ground on any new project Need recommendations on the roadmap that take account of the full complexity of the world in which we live If the roadmap we propose is to be effective, it needs R&D support for project preparation
