  1. All hands meeting Pier Oddone, September 21st, 2011

  2. Outline Changes to benefit plans Employee Advisory Group (EAG) State of the FY12 budget Moving forward beyond the Tevatron All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  3. 2012 Medical Plan Changes Employees at Fermilab pay a smaller fraction of their health plan costs compared to other institutions There are inevitable pressures to come closer to the norm. We are choosing to do that now when we can make certain adjustments to minimize the pain All changes will be effective January 1, 2012. All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  4. The employee share increases in 2012 All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  5. 2012 Medical Plan Changes Health Plan Costs – Active Employees -Monthly All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  6. How do we minimize the pain? DOE has frozen salaries for two years. No merit increases are allowed. However, DOE has given some flexibility to the laboratory to make adjustments. Within the authority allowed by DOE we will make a one time, permanent increase of $1,000/year Full and part-time employees are eligible, amount pro-rated for part-time employees The increase is effective Oct. 1, included in first October paycheck All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  7. Other 2012 Medical Plan Changes Blue Cross/Blue Shield HMO Illinois plan no longer offered as of Jan. 1, 2012 Blue/Cross/Blue Shield Blue Advantage will be the only HMO plan • Coverage in Blue Advantage HMO is very similar to HMO Illinois • Most doctors and hospitals in the HMO Illinois network also participate in Blue Advantage • The Blue Advantage plan costs the laboratory and employees significantly less than HMO Illinois More information available during Annual Enrollment, which begins November 7. All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  8. Employee Advisory Group http://www.fnal.gov/faw/EAG/ Christine Ader, AD Carol Angarola, WDRS Eileen Berman, CD Jamie Blowers, TD Julius Borchert, BSS Sandra Charles, WDRS Curtis R. Danner, PPD Ed Dijak, PPD Teri Dykhuis, ES&H Consolato Gattuso, AD Denise Keiner, FI Aria Soha, PPD Elaine Phillips, PPD Robert Plumer, FESS Sue Quarto, FESS Michael P. Reynolds, TD Rob Roser, PPD Dave Schmitz, PPD Vladimir Shiltsev, APC Rhianna Wisniewski, DIR Sam Zeller, PPD All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  9. Employee Advisory Group The EAG consists of 21 employees from throughout the laboratory It meets for three hours every month under the guidance of an outside facilitator. It elects its own leadership group to set agendas and prepare meetings Meetings attended by senior managers of the laboratory Group members come from a variety of employee perspectives, provides input on issues and policies All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  10. Example of recent work……. http://www.fnal.gov/faw/EAG/presentations/SurveyAnalysis.pptx A survey and follow-up analysis regarding satisfaction with the way individuals are managed/supervised within their groups Web based survey, anonymous Very useful in trying to understand “satisfaction” regarding management and potential correlations Invite you to read full survey at All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  11. Congressional actions President’s Budget Request for FY 12 had a large increase for Office of Science (BES, BER, ASCR) and flat budgets for HEP Both House and Senate have taken the increases out so the Office of Science goes flat from FY11 to FY12. In this day and age, this is considered a good outcome The House E&W bill has the President’s request for HEP, but the Senate Committee mark-up took away $17M for Preliminary Engineering Design of LBNE. All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  12. Congressional actions House has the PBR for FY12, Senate $17M less. The numbers will be reconciled in the final bill All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  13. Further Congressional actions The Deficit Reduction Committee has tight time table to produce additional cuts. We expect these to be beyond FY2012. However, any number of things could happen here. Next week the Science Committee of the House will visit Fermilab and host a roundtable discussion on the deep underground laboratory and LBNE. Real-time video here in the auditorium Wednesday, 10 am  noon All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  14. Life after the Tevatron We will shut down the Tevatron down on September 30, 2011; the analysis will continue for several years: www.fnal.gov/Tevatron Next is the exploitation of the LHC. The LHC (accelerator and detectors) has been the largest investment made by the US in the last several decades!! Accelerator facilities at Fermilab will move to the Intensity Frontier, first with the existing complex and later with Project X. All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  15. Two aspects to the intensity frontier 1) Neutrinos: • “Known unknowns”: the present picture has three generations of neutrinos that have masses and mix. However, we do not know many of the features of this picture: absolute neutrino masses, neutrino spectrum, missing mixing angle q13, matter-antimatter symmetry, Dirac or Majorana • “Unknown unknowns”: is this picture complete or are there additional particles such as sterile neutrinos or anomalous interactions that would make neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillation parameters be different? All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  16. Two aspects to the intensity frontier Only handle on the next energy scale “nothing” Intensity Frontier LHC Determine/verify structure Lots 2) Rare processes In quarks: studied in colliders such as B-factories (Japan and Italy) or the Charm Factory (China) In muons and kaons: studied with intense beams at Fermilab, CERN and KEK All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  17. Fermilab facilities  intensity frontier: neutrinos this decade n SM: Pattern of neutrino masses and mixings • Long baseline experiments: MINOSNOvA(LBNE) Beyond n SM: Explore cracks in our understanding: sterile neutrinos? Anomalous interactions? • Short baseline experiments: MiniBooNEMicroBooNE • Long baseline experiments: MINOSMINOS+ Neutrino physics measurements as a probe of nuclear structure and support of oscillation experiments • Dedicated experiment: MINERvA All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  18. Kopp, Machado, Parke MINOS+ (FY13-14) Machado, Nunokawa, Funchal En (GeV) 0 5 10 15 Sensitivities to new physics All Hands, September 21st, 2011 MINOS+ NOvA

  19. NOvA • Electron appearance and next step in oscillation parameters. Neutrinos vs. antineutrinos? All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  20. MINERvA • Very fine grain calorimeter with different nuclear targets • Study nuclear structure with neutrinos • Provide engineering measurements for oscillation experiments All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  21. MicroBooNE Follow excess in present MiniBooNE data. Critical to determine is it electrons or photons? Use Liquid Argon TPC: physics + further development of the technology. Successful CD-2-3a review! All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  22. Fermilab facilities  intensity frontierrare processes this decade Also in the intermediate term, a series of world-class experiments exploiting the present beams: • g-2: anomalous magnetic moment of the muon x20 statistics • Mu2e: direct muon to electron conversion - huge sensitivity to NP • SeaQuest: nuclear physics Drell-Yan process to study the structure of the nucleon in the nuclear environment All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  23. UED A new (g-2) to uncertainty 0.14*10-11 Model LHC All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  24. Mu2e…. Production Solenoid Detector Solenoid Transport Solenoid Production Target Calorimeter Tracker Conversion of a muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus: negligible rate in the SM and measurable in almost any extension of the SM All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  25. Proton improvement plan This decade: double the intensity Tevatron ends shutdown for NOvA NOvA MINERvA MINOS? LBNE MINERvA MINOS MiniBooNE Mu2e g-2 MicroBooNE Next Decade Project X: 100 times All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  26. Preparing for the next decade LBNE (0.7MW 2+ MW): the long-base line experiment • Neutrino mass spectrum (mass hierarchy) • Matter-antimatter symmetry • Neutrino/antineutrino differences • Anomalous interactions • Bonus: supernova neutrinos, relic neutrinos, proton decay Project X: a broad program with megawatts of continuous beam, ideal to lead at the intensity frontier • Neutrino, long/short base-lines, more than 2 MW to LBNE • Kaons where the Standard Model backgrounds are minimal and we are sensitive to many models • Rare muon decay with sensitivity to masses 10000 TeV • Symmetry violations through electric dipole moments in nuclei • Applications to transmutation, spallation targets, ADS All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  27. Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment CD 0: January 2010 1300 km Collaboration: 306 members 58 institutions (6 US labs) and 5 countries (India, Italy, Japan, UK, US) Continue to grow!

  30. Evolution of Neutrino Sensitivities LBNE NOvA MINOS >2  0.7MW 0.7MW 0.3MW All Hands, September 21st, 2011

  31. Status of Homestake facility NSF stopped funding the development of the deep underground laboratory in DUSEL: not appropriate for NSF DOE will support the facility through 2012 to allow for re-configuration Recent NRC Report strongly supports the scientific objectives: LBNE, DBD, DM Marx/Reichtanadter Report supported joint development, but dependent on LBNE DOE is supporting design, down-select on technology for LBNE. Final decision depends on costs and budgets…… All Hands, September 21st, 2011
