6. Why was it crucial for SLAC to join ATLAS? • The most compelling questions in particle physics can only be addressed at the energy frontier • The best way of sustaining a vibrant energy frontier community for a future linear collider is to be engaged now • The energy frontier is the highest priority program for the national user community & our traditional user base • ATLAS is the future for our accelerator-based program, and therefore the glue tying together the HEP program at SLAC Led to SLAC to become a member of ATLAS in July 2006 The SLAC ATLAS Program: Overview and BudgetPage 6

7. Initial challenges and opportunities • Late entry into a major worldwide collaboration with established players and institutional responsibilities • Major impact still achieved by operating in a service mode to resolve many real issues arising during commissioning over the last 3 years • Core capabilities and unique expertise from constructing & operating BABAR are now being applied to ATLAS • Gaining an understanding with OHEP about the level of growth has been challenging with OHEP programmatic reorganization • Our goal is to significantly strengthen the US ATLAS effort by the infusion of a large and experienced SLAC team The SLAC ATLAS Program: Overview and BudgetPage 7

13. What is our strategy for taking on ATLAS tasks? Engage in experimental tasks after weighing several different considerations: Importance and urgency of ATLAS needs Match to core competence at SLAC Recognizing and incorporating our own ideas in defining tasks Connection to our physics interests Synergy with other areas of SLAC involvement Synergy with future directions at SLAC Synergy with local US community interests Not narrowly focused on one subsystem, but have tried to maximize integral impact to best utilize individual expertise Establish a broad base to allow future growth The SLAC ATLAS Program: Overview and BudgetPage 13

21. The Bay Area as a west-coast ATLAS center • CERN cannot host major portions of the LHC collaborations long term • The Bay Area could play a leading role in supporting LHC physics • Concentration of expertise on computing, analysis and detector systems • Proximity of physics analysis support centers, capability for hosting workshops, tutorials and seminars • Attractive training centers due to a combination of tutorials, available expertise, & participation in upgrade activities • Strength of Theory Groups & their strong interest in LHC physics • Working to create a consensus in the US ATLAS community for a viable regional center role The SLAC ATLAS Program: Overview and BudgetPage 21

22. Summary of challenges to SLAC/ATLAS plan • Migration of core manpower • Viewed as a budget increase in the national proton research program, for which a case must be convincingly argued • Viewed institutionally as a migration of core scientific and technical manpower with directly relevant skills and capabilities • Computing role • Tier 2 computing role relatively minor compared to capability • Developing arguments for significantly enlarged scope of computing support anticipating future directions for demand growth • Scope of US and SLAC role in ATLAS upgrades • Working with US ATLAS community to characterize and prioritize upgrade activities and identify appropriate US roles The SLAC ATLAS Program: Overview and BudgetPage 22
