1. BNL Overview DOE Annual HEP Program Review Brookhaven National Laboratory April 17-19, 2006 Sam Aronson

2. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 2/8 BNL Overview n The state of the Lab: The CFN is in construction NSLS II preparing for CD1 RHIC II preparing for CD0 n The state of HENP: NP – its health is a key to a healthy HEP program! –RHIC is operating –EBIS is in construction –e-cooling R&D is under way –Detector upgrades are under way HEP –You’re here to assess that…

3. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 3/8 Glossary n AARD – Advanced Accelerator R&D Group n ATF – Accelerator Test Facility n CFN – Center for Functional Nanomaterials n DETF – Dark Energy Task Force (HEPAP) n EBIS – Electron Beam Ion Source n FFAG – Fixed-focus Alternating Gradient n LSST – Large Synoptic Survey Telescope n NSLS II – National Synchrotron Light Source 3 rd generation facility n NuSAG – Neutrino Science Assessment Group n QCDOC – Quantum Chromodynamics on a Chip n RHIC II – Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider luminosity upgrade project n RSVP – Rare Symmetry Violating Processes Project n SMD – Superconducting Magnet Division VLB O – Very Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiment n WFO – work for others

4. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 4/8 The state of HEP n Reorganized experimental groups post-RSVP Collider physics –US-ATLAS, D0 –ILC Detector R&D (with Instrumentation Div.) Fixed target & non-accelerator based physics –Neutrinos: MINOS, reactor  13, very long baseline –Cosmology, astrophysics: LSST Strong theory & accelerator groups –High Energy Theory –Advanced Accelerator R&D (key to Muon Collaboration) –Accelerator Test Facility (HEP, BES) –Superconducting Magnet Division (NP, HEP, WFO) Broad R&D programs –Accelerators: AARD, ATF, SMD –Detectors: ILC, LHC upgrade, astronomical (Physics, Instrumentation)

5. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 5/8 HEP Overview n Physics: staff ~ 220, HEP staff ~ 90, 60% ATLAS, 40% everything else ATLAS, D0, Theory, MINOS,  13, VLB O, LSST, ATF, AARD, ILC n Superconducting Magnet Division: staff ~ 50 Accelerator and Magnet R&D: LARP, ILC n Instrumentation Division: staff ~ 50 (mostly Lab-funded) ATLAS, ILC, LSST n Collider-Accelerator: staff ~ 370 (mostly NP-funded) Neutrino R&D (with FNAL), AGS (if g-2) ~$28M/yr in Budget Authority

6. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 6/8 Current/near-term issues to focus on n ATLAS Staffing Research Program funding Travel funding Computing Infrastructure n SMD Core competencies Survivability options ALD Review in June n Theory Staffing n LSST DETF  P5 New research group n Neutrinos Decision on Daya Bay Join VLB O study w/ FNAL (g-2)  P5 Funding n AARD HEPAP Subpanel R&D review n ATF Staffing

7. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 7/8 Broader issues to focus on n Alignment with national goals n Health of current efforts n Viability of path forward SMD is an important health & viability case n Right-sizing the BNL HEP effort Balancing scientific vs. technical personnel Balancing core effort vs. project effort

8. April 18, 2006 S. Aronson 8/8 Final thoughts (until tomorrow) n Lots of material yet to be presented Some of the important themes, especially in the experimental program are new since the last review n Keep in mind the broad issues BNL (as well as DOE) can benefit from your opinion on whether this program makes sense as a package (as well as from detailed technical assessments)
