HEP Strategic Plan
Plan is based on High Energy Physics Advisory Panel “P5” report This is s;ll the plan. Implementa;on at the Energy and Cosmic Fron;ers is clear – LHC (+upgrades) – Dark Ma4er + Dark Energy Implementa;on at the Intensity Fron;er has been more challenging.
– Funding levels at lower end of P5 Scenarios
– CR uncertainEes + “no new starts”
– DUSEL difficulEes

DOE HEP Budget Status
§ The FY 2012 DOE Request has been passed by both House and Senate – Overall SC funding approx. $4.8B – House provides HEP funding at Request level, -7% for projects (reductions
restored in Research budgets to match Request) – Senate provides HEP funding at Request level but no funds for LBNE construction
(-$17M) : “project is not mature enough”
§ However, currently under FY12 Continuing Resolution until Nov 18. – No new starts for LBNE, Mu2e, and MicroBooNE. – Small amounts of funding were supplied to keep making progress towards CD-1
for LBNE and Mu2e and CD-2/3 for MicroBooNE.

*Note: FY 2010 appropria;on including SBIR/STTR was $810 million, so the total FY 2012 request is a reduc;on of $13 million from comparable FY 2010 funding
FY 2012 Budget Impacts
§ Lack of conceptual design funding for LBNE is the most serious issue – Schedule for LBNE CD-1 is at risk if
• FY 2012 CR is not lifted before calendar 2012, and/or • FY 2012 Senate language prevails in final Appropriation
§ Both House and Senate bills support DOE request for $15M to maintain de-watering and safe operations at Homestake Mine previously supported by NSF
– DOE and NSF are working together to keep minimal Homestake operations going during FY12 CR – “new starts” complication.
– If supported in final FY12 Appropriation, DOE will take over support for minimal Homestake operations for the rest of FY2012, pending DOE decisions on cost-effective options for underground science.
§ FY12 CR has contributed to delay in processing of DOE grant actions, waiting for budget approval. Grants up for renewal are receiving priority.

Congressional Language – HEP Accelerator R&D: “The Committee directs the Department to submit a 10-year strategic plan by June 1, 2012 for accelerator technology research and development to advance accelerator applications in energy and the environment, medicine, industry, national security, and discovery science.”
Intensity Frontier: “...the United States has unique capabilities that should be exploited to develop a world-leading program of neutrino science…The Committee directs the Office of Science to submit a report not later than 180 days of enactment that lays out
—the expected benefits of intensity frontier science, —a strategy for maintaining the U.S. lead, and —the funding needs over the next 10 years, including construction activities, of
implementing the proposed strategy.

§ General, bipartisan support for Science
– Administration has also made this a priority
§ However, Administration priorities within Science are elsewhere
§ Budget climate not conducive to increases in any discretionary spending area.

detector since April 2011. The collaborators have "opened the box" recently and confirm MINOS/T2K results. Near detector installation is expected by the end of 2012.
§ NOvA completed the far detector building at Ash River in June 2011. Module production for the 14,000-ton far detector begins this month.
§ Daya Bay neutrino experiment has installed all 4 near detectors and has started taking data with 1st two. Installation of far detectors happening now, full operations in 2012.
§ EXO-200 announced the first observation of two-neutrino double beta decay in Xenon 136 in August 2011.
§ MINOS/T2K to cross-check FTL neutrinos…

Intensity Frontier Workshop § As part of our response to Congress, and with community input, the Office will identify
the full scope of science opportunities at the Intensity Frontier. – The ENTIRE community needs to be engaged in defining the Intensity Frontier
program. – We expect good representation from the community at the workshop, and
good dissemination of the results to the community. We expect discussion and feedback from the community in the spring, in time to influence the Intensity Plan due to Congress.

Cosmic Frontier § AMS was launched on the space shu4le on May 16, 2011 and installed on the InternaEonal Space StaEon. It is performing as expected and has collected more than 6 billion cosmic ray events
§ The DES imager is complete and will be shipped to NOAO in Nov. 2011. DOE deliverables for CD-‐4 on schedule for compleEon by January 2012
§ BOSS has completed 2 of 5 years of operaEons. Dark Energy results are planned to be shown at the AAS in January 2012 (AusEn) – using spectroscopy measurements of galaxies and quasars
§ The Mission Need and CD-‐0 approval for a new ground based dark energy experiment was signed in June 2011.
§ We are funding a number of GeneraEon-‐1 direct-‐detecEon dark ma4er experiments: ADMX-‐2a, COUPP-‐60, DarkSide, LUX, SuperCDMS-‐Soudan

Cosmic Frontier -‐ Program Planning Community panels (P5, PASAG, Astro2010) have called for a balanced cosmic fron;er program with:
§ Priority for Dark Ma4er & Dark Energy § Staged implementaEon § CooperaEve mulE-‐agency development as necessary
Direct Detec;on Dark Mader Genera;on 2 § AnEcipate Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for second-‐generaEon dark ma4er experiments to be out shortly.
• Proposals will be due 3-‐4 months aher announcement; selecEons expected by late FY2012 for a FY2013 start.
Dark Mader – planning § HEP plans a coordinated strategy for dark ma4er research
• including direct and indirect detecEon methods, theory and accelerator experiments • InvesEgaEng most effecEve and expedient strategy to get community input
Dark Energy – planning § LSST is our priority for the next experiment to be developed. § Want to be pro-‐acEve in developing a robust dark energy program – need input
• E.g., Near term and low cost opEons; What experiments require other agencies and at what level?
14
The DifOiculties of Forecasting
§ Future of the Energy Fron;er? – LHC results are a necessary prerequisite
§ Future of the Intensity Fron;er? – Need a robust plan with a strong domesEc component
– FPIF workshop § Future of Accelerator R&D?
– Developing an Office of Science plan: • HEP stewardship • important roles for nuclear, photon and neutron science
– Need community help to make this a success!

§ Both projects had their first request for PED funds in FY 2011. No funds have been approved in FY 2011.
§ Work on both projects has been slowed to prevent a gap in funding. § Experience in FY 2008 when the NOvA project lost funding has shown that it takes 6 to 9 months to rebuild a project team aher dispersing them.
§ It is be4er to slow work and keep a core team together. § The FY 2012 request includes OPC funding for both projects to prevent a funding gap in case there is a CR at the beginning of FY 2012.
