The DOE HEP program in FY 2006
  • Overall HEP budget and priorities in FY 2006
  • Tevatron and B-factory will be fully supported
  • LHC preparations will be fully supported
  • A reasonable level of support has to be
    maintained for the core research program in the
    universities and laboratories
  • Investment for near and long term new initiatives
    (including International Linear Collider RD)
    should grow
  • Any new initiatives will have to come from
    re-direction
  • DOE has decided not to proceed with BTeV

Sloan Digital Sky Survey
  • Taking data since 1998
  • continues through 2005
  • Oct 2004 - 3rd public data release
  • ? Data for 141 million objects over 5282 square
    degrees

2.5 m Telescope
Mosaic Imaging Camera
640 Fiber Spectrograph
Telescope in New Mexico

Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
Purpose direct detection of Weakly Interacting
Massive Particles (WIMPS) Location - Soudan Mine
in Minnesota Data-taking Started in 2003 with
full operations starting in April 2005.
First results released May04 set the world's
lowest exclusion limits on the WIMP cross
section, ruling out a significant range of
neutralino supersymmetric models.

As of Fall 2003, its the largest air-shower
detector in the world Partial operations have
started construction expected to be completed
by early 2006. Currently installed 12 (out of
24) fluorescence telescopes commissioned gt 652

Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array
System - VERITAS
  • Study of sources of very high energy gamma-rays
    in range of 50 GeV-50 TeV -- study extreme
    acceleration mechanisms
  • Location Kitt Peak
  • 4 telescope array started construction Oct. 2003
  • Operations start Oct. 2006
  • Prototype telescope built and tested successfully
  • Partnership of DOE NSF with contributions from
    Smithsonian foreign

Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST)
Mission
Measurement of high energy gamma rays from space
- Energy and direction of gamma rays from 20 MeV
to 300 GeV over wide field of view - launch in
2007
  • Primary Instrument Large Area Telescope (LAT)
  • - Collaboration between NASA, DOE, France,
    Italy, Japan, Sweden managed at SLAC.
  • Has had technical problems since baseline set in
    July 2003 needs additional funds.
  • DOEs contribution will increase by 3M and has
    been capped at 45M.
  • In the process of rebaselining the DOE scope/cost
    now remaining scope will be providing a well
    defined deliverable (data acquisition electronics
    and systems engineering) within the cap.
  • Has changed NASA/DOE relationship

14
AMS - Alpha Magnetic Spectrometerw/NASA
foreign partners
  • search for dark matter, missing matter
    antimatter on the International Space Station
  • Prototype (AMS-01) took data on STS-91 in 1998
  • AMS-02 fabrication complete in 2005
  • Launch and deployment on ISS currently planned
    for 2008.

15
Dark Energy Planning Future
  • Developed DOE/NASA Joint Dark Energy Mission
    (JDEM) plan for a joint space-based mission
    plan released 11/03
  • Science Definition Team formed meetings 11/04
    and 2/05
  • Purpose lay out the level 1 science requirements
    of a space-based dark energy mission
  • JDEM is a high priority (tie for 3rd place) in
    DOEs Facilities for the Future of Science 20
    Year Plan
  • JDEM Large Survey Telescope (LST) are highest
    priority in the Interagency Physics of the
    Universe report
  • Current Work
  • Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) continuing
    ground and HST measurements to collect statistics
    over large redshift range
  • Nearby Supernova Factory (SNFactory) large
    sample of nearby supernovae to study properties
    in detail
  • RD efforts planning
  • continuing RD activities for SNAP a concept
    for JDEM, using supernovae
  • Dark Energy Survey (DES) requesting RD support
    new camera for Blanco 4m telescope at CTIO -
    using galaxy cluster counting spatial
    clustering of galaxies
  • Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) requesting
    RD support using weak lensing

16
DOE HEP Future Planning
  • In order to inform the Department of OHEPs
    intent to pursue several new scientific
  • topics, we plan to prepare draft requests for
    approval CD-0 Statement of Mission Need.
  • ? These are all for medium-sized proposals.
  • Neutrino experiments such as
  • reactor-based neutrino experiment to measure ?13
  • off-axis accelerator-based neutrino experiment to
    measure ?13 resolve mass hierarchy
  • neutrino-less double beta decay experiment to
    probe the Majorana nature of neutrinos
  • Astrophysics
  • Underground experiment to search for direct
    evidence of dark matter
  • Ground-based dark energy experiment
  • This process will be in parallel with a
    Scientific Advisory Group process that will
  • recommend which proposals to pursue in these
    areas.
