7The 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

9Sloan 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

10Cryogenic 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.

started construction expected to be completed
by early 2006. Currently installed 12 (out of
24) fluorescence telescopes commissioned gt 652
(out of 1600) surface Cherenkov detectors

12Very 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
13Gamma 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.
15Dark 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
16DOE 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.
