As in human history, one cannot know the future with certainty,
but it is important to know the Times, and its opportunities:
– War or Peace;
– Economic Boom or Depression;
– Cultural Renaissance or Dark Ages…
Particle Physics is entering the age of the Terascale
– The reigning theory (standard model) is as precise as it is
incomplete.
– How the weak and electromagnetic forces unify is a mystery
– …but the consequences are likely dramatic. We are poised for
great discovery.
Dark Energy & Dark Matter: what are they, and how (do?) they
relate to the Terascale?
Neutrinos – what are they telling us?

ILC R&D
•

•
Office of Science
To support a U.S. leadership role in this coordinated international
effort, DOE is requesting a doubling the ILC R&D budget in FY2007
Presidents Request ($30M$60M)
– Would enables significant progress on all major subsystems
– Begins industrialization of key components so that U.S. industry
can get “up to speed” and successfully compete for contracts if
ILC is built
– Includes detector R&D funding (a change from previous years)
This is a major step forward for the ILC effort, although it is NOT yet
– Approval of construction, or engineering design
Our goal for the R&D program at this stage is to provide solid
technical, cost and schedule information to governments for a
decision on ILC construction around the end of the decade.

Core Research
•
•
Office of Science
We are supporting core experimental and theoretical research at labs
and universities to maintain approximately the FY 2006 level-ofeffort, or slightly above:
• University-based physics research up ~6% overall
• Lab-based physics research up ~2% overall
Goals:
– To maintain strong participation in the Tevatron, B-factory and
LHC physics programs
– To help support research activities associated with new initiatives
such as ILC R&D, neutrinos, dark energy, and dark matter.
– Also includes ongoing (unchanged from FY06) HEP contributions
to the cross-cutting SciDAC program and the Lattice QCD IT
investment, joint with Nuclear Physics.

Accelerator R&D
•

Office of Science
In addition to increases in ILC R&D, there is in the FY2007 request an
additional significant increase (+$5M, or ~18%) in the long-range
R&D program that supports fundamental research into the physics of
beams and accelerator technologies (“accelerator science”)
The goal is to enable the restoration of the accelerator science
research program to the level needed to support long-term R&D on
new particle acceleration techniques and technologies, such as:
– Novel particle acceleration concepts
– New superconductors and their application
– Very high gradient accelerating structures
– Advanced beam instrumentation
– Theory and simulation of beams
– User facilities to test these concepts
Advice from the community (e.g., J. Marx AARD panel) provides
needed input for developing this program

EPP2010. Awaiting the first roadmap report, due shortly.
– Scientific Assessment Groups (SAGs):
• Neutrino SAG (NuSAGi)
• Dark Matter SAG underway.
– Dark Energy Task Force reported out.
– Advanced Accelerator R&D Subpanel reported out.
– University Subpanel

US High Energy Physics at a
Crossroads
Office of Science
•
Is there, will there be, a community-wide vision?
– EPP2010 and P5 roadmap as the basis for a broad vision.
•
The stronger the consensus, the better chance we have at achieving
our goals.
•
If it business as usual, every experiment for itself, these chances will
diminish significantly and rapidly.
•
Most of these proposed experiments require significant, large
resources; but the science can be exciting for a broad audience, and
will likely be of great historical significance.
•
What do you want the long-term future of US particle physics to be,
and what are you willing to do to promote a common vision?

“Your work over the decades has led to great science, to breakthrough
concepts, and to the United States’ unquestioned leadership in
physics. And it has benefited our nation in many ways. The President
recognizes the contribution that fundamental research makes to our
nation, particularly to our economic competitiveness and to our
quality of life as Americans.”
•
“I fully support the possibility of bringing the International Linear
Collider to this Lab. There are a great many difficult steps that will be
needed for this to occur. This audience understands better than I just
what those steps are and how difficult they will be. But it is a goal
worth fighting for. This may turn out to be the most profound new
science that we will be seeing in our lifetime.”
