1. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 1 David Hitlin DOE Annual Program Review June 29, 2009 Overview of the Caltech HEP Program

2. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 2 The Caltech HEP Program  This is the final year of the three year grant cycle  The Caltech program has vigorous theory groups (Tasks A, B) These groups receive major support from Caltech  HEP phenomenology and string theory – Gukov, Kapustin, Ooguri, Preskill, Schwarz, Wise  Particle astrophysics – Carroll, Hirata, Kamionkowski  Our major experimental activities (Tasks C, D, E) are  Electrons: ILC GDE, B A B AR, SuperB – Barish, Hitlin, Porter  Protons: MINOS, No a, CMS – Newman, Spiropulu  Non-accelerator: CDMS & SuperCDMS - Golwala  We are proposing creation of a new infrastructure task for Detector Development  Our main concerns for FY09 are  Ramping up support for Maria Spiropulu and the CMS effort  Creation of an advanced crystal development laboratory  Inflation adjustment

5. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 5 Experimental Groups – Proton Campaign Harvey Newman Maria Spiropulu CMS line Includes $150K added in FY09 for Maria Spiropulu plus an additional $175K described in the proposal text Also moves salary (including benefits and overhead) associated with proposed Task F to that task

6. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 6 Experimental Groups – Electron Campaign David Hitlin Frank Porter Barry Barish Moves salary (including benefits and overhead) associated with proposed Task F to that task

7. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 7 Experimental Groups – Non-accelerator campaign Sunil Golwala Requests redirection of Task E towards SuperCDMS work and an increment of $71K/year, as described in the text

8. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 8 Experimental Groups – Detector Development Ren-yuan Zhu New task Note that $231K of the proposed $450K represents salary (including benefits and indirects) moved from Task C to Task F

9. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 9 Computing  Our computing model is predicated on an adiabatic replacement cycle  Non-CMS computing remains important for the B A B AR Intense Analysis phase and for MINOS and Super B  By replacing a fraction of farm CPU’s each year, we have avoided the need for massive reworking of the system  To stave off obsolescence, this approach requires us to replace ~1/4 to 1/3 of computing capacity and storage each year  In FY08 computing equipment funding fell far off this curve  In FY09 we fell further off the curve

11. David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 11 Summary  The Caltech program remains strong, with a good mix of experimental opportunities and a powerful theory group  We continue to play leadership roles in present and future experiments  B A B AR /Super B, MINOS/No a, CMS, SuperCDMS  GDE for the ILC – separately funded  In accord with the P5 report, we are looking in new directions  Particle astrophysics – SuperCDMS (Golwala)  Next generation neutrino physics – No a (Newman)  Next generation flavor physics - Super B (Hitlin, Porter)  LHC upgrades (Newman, Spiropulu)  A future lepton collider  We a actively engaged with the Division Staffing Committee, pointing towards a new junior faculty appointment
