June 14, 2005DOE HEP Program Review2 An Exciting Time in Particle Physics The Standard Model of quarks and leptons is fabulously successful It only describes 5% of the Universe Dark Matter and Dark Energy make up 95% of the Universe New forms of matter and energy outside of current understanding We don’t understand why the the Universe is matter dominated (what happened to the anti-matter?) Compelling Questions confront us Within this decade tools coming on line to make progress in our understanding Developing tools for discovery in the next decade

June 14, 2005DOE HEP Program Review3 A Challenging Time in Particle Physics Premier US HEP accelerators will turn off by the end of the decade B-Factory (SLAC) 2008 CESR (Cornell) 2008 Tevatron (FNAL) 2009 By end of decade, the frontiers of HEP will be off shore LHC (CERN) JPark (KEK) KEK-B (KEK) Long term health and future of the field of HEP relies on ILC Very expensive (~$8B) Excellent progress towards international realization of such a machine Not a certainty! We need to balance the near term, mid term, and long term focus of the program

June 14, 2005DOE HEP Program Review50 Computing
51
June 14, 2005DOE HEP Program Review51 Computing Forefront computing at SLAC underlies many of the experimental programs. Key strength: bringing application scientists, applied mathematicians and computer scientists together creates revolutionary new approaches, both application-specific and generic. One of world’s leading efforts in data-driven computing and large scale data management necessitated by the huge explosion of data from the BaBar detector. Major additional efforts focus on applications in accelerator modeling and particle simulations. Positioned to support new applications that use computation as a tool for discovery in particle astrophysics, cosmology, and bio-molecular simulations. Revolutions in science increasingly founded on, and driven by, computing. Future focus on transforming the interaction between scientists and their data to transform the science being performed.

June 14, 2005DOE HEP Program Review55 Programmatic Challenges Active workforce management needed as transition from on site to off site accelerators as non accelerator fraction of program grows B-factory recovery from accident maintain competitiveness with KEK-B ILC needs increased funding and continued government and community continuity of commitment To grow non accelerator programs will need to establish and execute a stable multi-agency research investment plan Must capitalize on spectacular KIPAC opportunity Must replace FFTB (goes away in 2006 for LCLS) Facility enables photon, particle and astro particle science on site
56
June 14, 2005DOE HEP Program Review56 Programmatic Priorities For the near term: We must focus on B-factory performance and delivery of science to our largest user community For the mid term: We must continue in our leadership role for the ILC Highest priority new facility for the world community We must complete GLAST construction and develop the ISOC Challenges here due to marriage of 2 cultures We must work to provide additional opportunities for science to the HEP user community in ~2012 e.g. LSST, EXO, JDEM,.... For the long term: The R&D in accelerator science is our hope for the future of the field To make the next accelerator *after* the ILC technically feasible and affordable
