  1. Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics A DOE EPSCoR Proposal Submitted by a consortium of University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Langston University Presented by M. Strauss – OU

  2. Goals of OCHEP • Leadership in HEP research integrating OSU, OU, & LU as one strong entity • Computational facility for regional data analysis and Monte Carlo simulation with connection to industry via IT development and transfer • Education and outreach for Oklahoma students and teachers in high-tech via HEP research Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  3. Proposal Specifics • Initiate an Experimental Program at OSU • Establish a computational Grid analysis facility • Improve education opportunities for high school teachers and students, and university students • Total budget of $750,000/year plus one to one matching funds. Program runs for 3 years with a possible 3 year extension Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  4. Center Personnel + 7 Postdocs + ~12 students These are all the active particle physicists in Oklahoma Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  5. OSU Experimental Program • New OSU faculty would work in collaboration with faculty at OU and LU • Most likely DØ and ATLAS Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  6. Computational Analysis Facility at OU • Build on our Grid and collaborative experience and success with DØ and ATLAS • Leverage OK’s Internet-2 state network • Position OK as a major component of the emerging Grid infrastructure • Foster IT development in collab. with CS • Provide regional Grid technology and expertise to other scientific fields (biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, …) • Attract hi-tech industry research and development (IBM, Sun, MS, …) Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  7. OU Grid Development • 2 IT Specialists for at least 3 years • At least one for at least six years • $400,000 in computer equipment over three years • ~300 Linux based Opteron processors • ~60 TB tape storage • Infrastructure and support from the Oklahoma Supercomputing Center for Education and Research (OSCER) • DØ and ATLAS distributed computing; and more… (the Open Science Grid?) Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  8. ATLAS Grid Architecture Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  9. Education and Outreach • Train students in physics, mathematical modeling, computer simulations, IT, and electronics • Support high school teachers • Summer Research Experience (2-4 teachers) • 2 Week HEP Workshop (10 teachers) • Provide summer research experience for undergraduate students • Attract and retain under-represented minorities to science and technology Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics

  10. Status and Outlook • Proposal was submitted this week • Support letters from DØ and CDF spokespersons, computer division at Fermilab, head of US ATLAS Grid computing, developers of Open Science Grid white paper, Fermilab and BNL theorists. • 12 EPSCoR states competing with about 20 proposals for 1 or 2 grants. • Decision made late 2003 or early 2004 • First funds allocated in spring 2004 Oklahoma Center for High Energy Physics
