6. 6 Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program  "The Scientific Council would like the PACs to set scientific priorities, in light of budgets requested for the projects, being informed by the Directorate of the global financial situation, and the resources they propose to distribute to different fields of research…”

7. 7 Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program An internal committee, Chaired by Prof. Igor Savin, will be commissioned to review the projects and recommend changes. The recommendation of the internal committee will be provided to the PAC at the November meeting. In addition the PAC, in response to the following charge from Vice-Director Sissakian will provide helpful guidance at the beginning of this process by providing input concerning the scientific priorities of the projects.

8. 8 Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program Dear Professor Hallman: In accordance with the recommendation of the Scientific Council at its meeting of 3-4 June, 2004, I am asking that the Program Advisory Committee for Particle Physics provide guidance on the scientific priorities for approved projects in the JINR particle physics program. The primary purpose of this exercise is to seek input from the PAC on the significance, quality, and promise of ongoing and planned research in the context of maintaining a world-class particle physics research program at JINR. In carrying out this charge, the PAC is requested to comment on each project concerning whether it is: First Priority: absolutely essential, compelling research that "must be done" to support world leadership by JINR in particle and nuclear physics Second Budgetary Priority: excellent, forefront research by JINR scientists which should be supported with high priority Second Non-Budgetary Priority: important scientific research which should be carried out if resources permit

9. 9 Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program In making this determination, the PAC should evaluate the following: 1) Scientific significance of the research project in a world view 2) Strength of the JINR scientific contribution to the project 3) Demonstrated achievement and future promise of JINR scientific team on the project; strength of the team involved in the project (experience, reputation) 4) Extent to which the project contributes to the scientific life of JINR in Dubna The comments of the PAC will constitute essential input for the effort at JINR to shape a world-class research programme which is fits within the constraint of available resources. I greatly appreciate the willingness of the PAC to assist the Directorate in making this important determination. I look forward to an informative report. Sincerely, A. Sissakian

26. 26 Physics simulations and new research proposals of the ATLAS-JINR group were discussed at the two workshops on the ATLAS physics program (Dubna--April and November, 2004). The main topics are the following: Search for the SM Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector via the process H → 4μ (G.Chelkov, I.Boiko, K.Nikolaev, R.Sadikov) Study of the the ATLAS large-mass Higgs discovery potential by means of the reactions H → 2W → 2l, or H → 2W → l jj (Yu.Kulchitsky) and H → 2Z → 2l, or H → 2Z → lljj (V.Vinogradov). These studies were based on simulated ATLAS DC1 and DC2 data. They rely on the Higgs boson production via the Vector Boson Fusion mechanism (the two accompanying forward jets allow very good background reduction) and on the maximal Higgs boson decay rates into WW- or ZZ-pair at M HIGGS = 400 -- 1000 GeV.

28. 28 The possibility of investigating the quark-gluon structure functions with the ATLAS detector by means of simultaneous registration of a direct photon (or Z-boson) and jets (so called "gamma/Z+jet" events) is being studied by D.Bandurin and N.Skatchkov. An HEP (semi-)analytical calculation tool for the LHC (Project SANC: Support of Analytical and Numerical Calculations for Experiments at Colliders) is being Developed by: D.Bardin, L.Kalinovskaya, P.Christova, G.Nanava A.Andonov (DLNP, JINR), A.Arbuzov, S.Bondarenko (BLTF, JINR)and V.Kolesnikov (PhD student, UNC, JINR). This a work in progress which promises to be useful for development of the JINR-ATLAS physical program in the near future. Physical verification of the SM electric charge of the top-quark (+2/3) with the ATLAS detector utilizing lepton-jet top decay channels (N.Russakovich, V.Bednyakov,E.Khromov, A.Tonoyan).

29. 29 Evaluation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to single top- and top-anti top quark production together with an estimation of the associated top-Higgs production (in pp-interactions) are being studied by A.Akhmedov. Aspects of research on top- and Higgs boson production and the search for the exotic phenomena at the LHC are being explored by Z.Usubov. Theory and phenomenology of ATLAS physics with the Higgs bosons, extra gauge bosons and (very) heavy quarkonia states as well as a the theory of the multi-particle correlations during particle production is being studied by G.Kozlov. A possible monopole search with the ATLAS detector is being explored by Yu.Kurochkin (Minsk). Diffractive Higgs production and the search for the virtual electroweak effects with ATLAS are being studied by I.Satsunkevich (Minsk). V.Gilevsky (Minsk) is studying general parameterization of 4-boson vertex and its importance for collider physics. P.Starovoitov (Minsk) is examining the two-photon mechanism of Drell-Yan lepton pair production in pp-collisions and has demonstrated that its contribution is not negligible. These are ongoing theoretical studies that still need to be simulated in ATLAS. Preparing to do science with ATLAS
