The NSF solicitations 2004-6
Four NSF directorates – MPS, GEO, ENG, BIO
S1 – Research definition and associated infrastructure requirements.
S2 – Site development and conceptual design.
8 proposals “down-selected” to 2 sites, $500 k each.
S3 – Site specific, detailed infrastructure plan for science and engineering for a single site.
Earliest MRE funding available – beginning FY 2009
~ a few X 108 $ for lab plus experiments.

Physics: the Big Questions
• What is the dark matter? • What is the nature of the dark energy? • How did the universe begin? • Did Einstein have the last word on gravity? • What are the masses of the neutrinos, and how have they
shaped the evolution of the universe? • How do cosmic accelerators work and what are they
accelerating? • Are protons unstable? • Are there new states of matter at exceedingly high density
and temperature? • Are there additional spacetime dimensions? • How were the elements from iron to uranium made?• Is a new theory of matter and light needed at the highest
energies?

Major Opportunity for Neutrino Physics
• Double beta decay, solar neutrinos, other neutrino research need – Support– Institutional Home
• R&D support coming soon (NSF ~$4M, DOE NP ~$1M, DOE HEP ~$5M)
• MREFC concept includes ~$250M (!) for new experiments.

Physics Program • Dark matter • Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay:
– Lepton number violation, matter-antimatter transition in early universe
– Mass of the neutrino• Low-energy neutrinos
– Solar neutrino spectrum, CNO– Sterile neutrinos– Luminosity of future sun– Geoneutrinos– Supernova neutrinos
• Low-cross-section accelerator facility (in addition to LUNA)
• Low background counting– Physics– National security
• CP Violation, Hierarchy, Nucleon Decay: Mega-detector
