1 Summary Comments and Discussion Pier Oddone 40 th Anniversary Users’ Meeting June 8, 2007

2 2 Congratulations to Sacha! Great job over the last two years on all fronts! Guiding the UEC Communication across the user community Representing the Fermilab user community to the lab Communication with the public and elected representatives, presenting the excitement of particle physics Organizing the Users’ Meeting Bringing US facilities user’s groups together

3 3 Congratulations to all of you Tremendously productive year: Ph.D. thesis, publications, observations and discoveries Record performance. Since last Users’meeting: doubled!! the Tevatron integrated luminosity more than doubled the neutrino data to MINOS largest sample of antineutrino collisions at MiniBooNE more than doubled life time for dark matter search largest sample of high energy cosmic rays (Auger)

4 4 You have earned the right to dream Discover the Higgs and supersymmetry in the Tevatron and follow up richness with the LHC Discover a large neutrino electron appearance rate with MINOS and discover mass hierarchy with NOvA Discover the dark matter particle with CDMS II and follow that with the LHC Discover point sources with Pierre Auger Discover new phenomena with MiniBooNE Land the ILC at Fermilab, NSF builds DUSEL

5 5 New Organization: FRA L.8 Offeror’s Involvement/Resources Clearly defined responsibility for corporate oversight Robert Zimmer, Chair Fred Bernthal, Vice-Chair Pier Oddone, President Robert Zimmer, PresidentFred Bernthal, President

6 6 New Laboratory Organization Structured to achieve the vision

7 7 Programs and the Future The Energy Frontier Tevatron, LHC ILC The neutrino frontier Minos, MiniBooNe, SciBooNe NOvA, Minerva Particle Astrophysics SDSS, Pierre Auger, CDMS II DES, CDMS-25kg, SNAP

8 8 EPP 2010 + P5 Recommendations Highest priorities LHC and ILC Most of the available resources 60% to ILC R&D Maintain breadth of the field with other 40% In FY08 run PEP II and Tevatron, and start: Dark Energy Survey (DES) Cold Dark Matter Search Super CDMS-25kg NOvA long base line neutrino program Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment For the longer term, prepare SNAP and LSST THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL AND EXCITING PROGRAM. Fermilab

9 9 From another angle: timeline and maximum stress! Foundation: must deliver on investments Tevatron Neutrino program Must turn on the LHC and CMS Must develop the ILC for the long term future Must have an intermediate program

10 10 Success in a complex environment Needed resources to ramp-up the ILC: clear, but suspected (not hard) limits. How do you sell a ramp up for a facility that is contingent on LHC results soon. Termination of facilities: Tevatron running beyond 2010? Have to decide next year

11 11 Success in a complex environment Intermediate program: only partially developed. Preserves HEP accelerator strengths only with early ILC; opportunities while we build ILC? Complex international environment politically, sociologically and financially. Competition for resources. It is sustainable energy! : it speaks to the public and elected representatives. The DOE’s day has come.

12 12 Key Community coming together behind a comprehensive plan that is resilient and exciting Active and comprehensive plan to “sell” HEP and ILC: initial push has to be for importance of basic science and HEP; HEP as an international enterprise Cannot overemphasize importance of LHC Interagency collaboration: DOE, NSF, NASA

13 13 Questions / discussion
