Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 Elementary Particle Physics in the 21 st Century Philip Burrows John Adams Institute Oxford University Report of U.S. EPP2010 Panel
2
Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 What has changed since 1998? Most recent survey of Elementary Particle Physics was completed in 1998 Since then, much has changed –Discovery of Dark Energy Connections with Astronomy –Discovery of Neutrino Mass Connections with Nuclear Physics –Precision Electroweak Measurements World consensus on Linear Collider
3
Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 EPP2010 Charge Committee is charged to: –Identify, articulate, and prioritize the scientific questions and opportunities that define elementary particle physics –Recommend a 15-year implementation plan with realistic, ordered priorities to realize these opportunities Emphasis on evaluating science opportunities –From that, a ranking of the facilities will flow Linear collider? Neutrino physics? Cosmology?

Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 Not your ‘usual Committee’! Non-physicists –Emphasize connections to society at large –Sharpen physics questions Non-particle-physicists –Help engage other scientific communities International representation –Place U.S. particle physics in an international context Overall goal: To present a compelling vision for the field and to create an action plan that will allow it to achieve its goals
6
Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 The Recommendations The US should remain globally competitive in HEP and play a leading role in the worldwide effort: 1) fully exploit opportunities at LHC 2) world-leading centre for ILC R&D + mount a compelling bid to build ILC in the US 3) expand particle astrophysics programme + collaborate internationally on neutrinos
7
Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 The ILC (1) The US should launch a major program of R&D, design, industrialisation, management, and financing studies for accelerator and detectors 1) $300-500M over next 5 years on accelerator 2) $20-30M / year for detectors for 6-10 years (did not address detailed cost estimates for ILC)
8
Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 The ILC (2) The US should announce its strong intent to become the host for the ILC Should undertake necessary work to provide a viable site (FNAL) and mount a compelling bid Only the ILC will allow the US to maintain, in the long term, a world-leading, internationally collaborative, programme in HEP
9
Philip Burrows HEP Forum, Coseners House, 6/05/06 Neutrinos US should participate in a well-coordinated, staged, internationally planned programme Nature of neutrino mass (double beta decay) International study of accelerator-based experiments should determine a sensible plan Longer-term: CP violation (proton decay)
