Astroparticle Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology Preparation of a Spanish document based on the European Roadmap for Astroparticle Physics, Nov. 2011 (Inés & Juan as representatives of Astroparticle Phys. at CPAN Executive Committee) Distributed by J.A. Villar to all RENATA IP members for their comments during June 2012 Comments received from Neutrino Oscillations Some comments from Multidark on dark matter projects Canfranc, NEXT and axions sent directly their own contribution to the European Strategy Group Document sent to CPAN and included in the input to the European Strategy Group on behalf of the Spanish Scientific Particle Physics Community Very different style compared with the rest of the document: We listed many experiments without prioritization Input organized in two different sections: Astroparticles and Neutrino Physics 5

Spanish input on Astroparticles Our strategy is aligned with the European Strategy outlines in the ASPERA roadmap with additional Spanish initiatives Project classification according to time scale of construction and cost: 1. existing projects or existing design programs, 2. large scale experiments 3. very large scale experiments Transversal goals: Theoretical research, strengthened and more coordinated with experimental developments Improve links with Spanish astrophysicists Maximally exploit the capabilities of the Canfranc Underground Laboratory Spanish participation in experiments : Promote participation only in experiments where Spain has a significant impact (no funding for marginal contributions, prioritize coordinated projects of several groups) Experiments in each sub-field: since funding will be very tight in the next years, restrict to maximum one experiment in each large scale sub-field Economic returns: plan contributions from Spanish companies from the design phase of the experiment 6

1. Existing projects or existing design programs Construction finished or about to finish: MAGIC, ANTARES, Auger, AMS, DES, PAU, T2K and ROSEBUD Secure its operation and the scientific exploitation of their data Medium scale projects or medium scale upgrades (~tens of M€) Gravitational waves : Advanced VIRGO, Advanced LIGO and GEO-HF Dark matter : ArDM (noble liquids), SuperCDMS (bolometric and ionization), COUPP-500 (acoustic), ANAIS (scintillator), EURECA (bolometer), IAXO (axions) Neutrino properties : Double Chooz (reactor neutrino oscillations), NEXT (neutrinoless double beta decay) RECOMMENDATION: establish a medium term funding scenario guaranteeing an adequate Spanish participation in these existing projects 7

2. Large scale experiments Start construction middle this decade and budget few hundreds of M€ TeV gamma-ray astrophysics : CTA High energy astronomical neutrinos : KM3NeT High energy cosmic rays : Next generation ground-based observatory JEM-EUSO Long-baseline neutrino physics program at CERN Dark energy : Big Boss DESpec NO EXPLICIT RECOMMENDATION 8
9
3. Very large scale experiments Start construction by the end of this decade and cost ~1000 M€ Dark energy : LSST at ground EUCLID in space Gravitational waves : Einstein Telescope at ground NGO (LISA) in space RECOMMENDATION: being involved in the design and construction of these experiments within the constraints of funding availability 9

Spanish input in Neutrino physics Focused to oscillation experiments Common strategy for a coherent and coordinated Spanish participation in future neutrino oscillation experiments to maximize the scientific impact of our contribution Strongly support of a neutrino program at CERN to develop the technology and establish the physics case for a competitive LBL experiment in Europe. Clear interest on LAr technology (base for the EU and US projects and for one JP project) and possible contribution to this Experimental Spanish groups decided not to sign the present LBNO proposal (EoI) Concerns about the physics case at first stage and extension to a second one Studying other options in Japan and US RECOMMENDATION: Spain wants to play an active role in the experimental neutrino program in a coordinated way and enhance the Spanish participation 10

ASPERA Science Advisory Committee recommendations Dedicated document sent to the European Strategy Preparatory Group On large underground neutrino detectors: Opportunity for a common program on both accelerator based neutrino physics and APP Recommendation to CERN, national agencies and ApPEC to support a vigorous R&D program on neutrino detectors (e.g. liquid argon) and beam design studies (e.g. neutrino beam to Pyhäsalmi) in anticipation of a critical decision in 2015 Obvious worldwide interest and high project costs, it is recommended that CERN, European agencies and ApPEC enter into discussions with US and Asian counterparts to develop a coherent international strategy for this field, including relevant APP issues On dark matter searches: Complementarities between LHC and direct dark matter searches On ultra high energy cosmic rays: Complementarities between UHECR observatories and LHC On neutrino nature and mass scales: Crucial topics for the SM 14

A Spanish roadmap (?) 15
16
Do we need a Spanish roadmap on APP? This input was useful to understand all the fields/projects we are involved or want to be involved But this is not a roadmap or a strategy Why do we need a roadmap/plan/strategy in Spain? 1.Establish a bottom-up strategy as a function of time to be included in the general Spanish scientific strategy 2.Enhance the field in the general Spanish scientific framework 3.Guarantee funding to achieve our goals 4.Promote coordinated Spanish participation in global projects 5.Encourage collaboration, exchange of knowledge, experimental techniques, etc. between groups 6.Coordinate the efforts in APP in Spain 7.Maximize Spanish impact and visibility in the projects 8.Represent the Spanish community opinion/strategy in different forums (National Funding Agencies, ApPEC, APIF, committees, …) 9. … 16

How to draft the roadmap: RENATA RENATA as a network involves/represents all APP groups in Spain RENATA is the natural forum to create a Spanish APP roadmap How to draft the roadmap: Each member of RENATA committee writes a statement of interest for his/her area for the next 5/10/15? years, including: Scientific impact in the field Personnel/groups involved Experience Cost Spanish impact in the project Schedule Organize a dedicated RENATA general workshop to discuss these statements (all RENATA): compare and work in a global context (all areas) to understand priorities. Use feedback from meeting attendees to write a draft for the roadmap. Send to whole RENATA by e-mail for corrections and comments. Discuss and integrate corrections until consensus. 18
19
How do we make the roadmap public? Who shall get a copy? Our own community (“legacy”). “Gestores”: FPA, AYA, ESP. Science responsible persons at MINECO. APP and Particle Physics representatives in all international forums (APPEC, APIF…) Directors of research institutes related to APP in Spain. CPAN representatives PIs of CONSOLIDER projects related to APP 19
