LHC CommissioningLHC Commissioning

Major problem with inner triplets in March test

All triplets are fixed, several pressure-tested in the tunnel, most installed

Root cause analysis is complete and available on the web

Sector 4-5 may have to be warmed up for triplet installation

This plot shows constraints on cosmological parameters from SDSS galaxy distribution. Yellow and orange are WMAP [1 year and 3 year]; red is adding in SDSS. Notice how constraints on w and neutrino mass are especially tightened by SDSS.

Major issue: planning for the futureMajor issue: planning for the future

What is the national program: especially the accelerator based domestic program?

Planning has to be centered on recovering the energy frontier: ILC

But there are unresolved issues Sufficient energy at 0.5 TeV? Domestic and international arrangements? When?

Problems with competitive situationProblems with competitive situation

In a world with a delayed ILC or no ILC – grave risk that we are left ONLY with accelerator R&D without world leading facilities either at the energy frontier or the intensity frontier

Once we are in that bucket: much harder to get out to a position to build the next global facility: the accelerator based program will be smaller

3030

Problem: selection vs. roadmapProblem: selection vs. roadmap

We have selected the projects to start: DES, NOvA, Daya Bay – only NOvA is a “large project”. It is the start of a roadmap

Problem: “…I want a dialog with the HEP community…” leads to “we’ll talk to you in three years….”

Example: can say “wait until we know sin213” or build a roadmap that depends on that number

Fermilab Steering GroupFermilab Steering Group

Steering Group NOT to provide a plan A vs. plan B, rather an integrated roadmap with discovery opportunities in the next two decades that:

supports the international R&D and engineering design for as early a start of the ILC as possible and supports the development of Fermilab as a potential host site for the ILC;

develops options for an accelerator-based high energy physics program in the event the start of the ILC construction is slower than the technically-limited schedule; and

Fermilab Steering GroupFermilab Steering Group

includes the steps necessary to explore higher energy colliders that might follow the ILC or be needed should the results from LHC point toward a higher energy than that planned for the ILC

Broad community engagement under the leadership of deputy director Young Kee Kim

What we are asking P5What we are asking P5

Take into consideration it takes a minimum of four years to break ground on any new project

Need recommendations on the roadmap that take account of the full complexity of the world in which we live

If the roadmap we propose is to be effective, it needs R&D support for project preparation
