  1. Fermilab in transitionAll-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  2. Outline Tevatron • Attempt to secure extension • Revert to previous plan Fermilab’s Future Program • Energy frontier • Intensity frontier • Cosmic frontier Workforce in transition P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  3. Tevatron We proposed extending run three more years: • Physics Advisory Committee • Particle Physics Projects Prioritization Panel (P5) • HEPAP • OHEP, Office of Science, Secretary Chu, OMB, OSTP DOE failed in attempt to secure additional funds  revert to previous plan to close the Tevatron at the end of FY11; big transition P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  4. Tevatron Collect data in FY11 as previously planned; outstanding performance Formidable data sample: continue the analysis for three to four years; many physics results yet to come Decommission: secure the facility • Phase 1: historical display • Phase 2: total decommissioning P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  5. Future program: at the three frontiers P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  6. Frontiers of particle physics Question: Why have we not seen all the particle physics phenomena yet? • The phenomena involve objects that are hard to make (e.g. black holes, heavy gluinos) • The phenomena involve interactions that are fundamentally weak – thus very rare • The phenomena involve interactions that are very short range – thus very rare In case #1, proceed to Energy or Cosmic Frontiers In cases #2 and #3, we can use high intensities to observe rare phenomena P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  9. Gaps and roles: energy frontier Next two decades: dominated by LHC. Upgrades to machine and detectors Biggest gap: what follows the LHC? Depends on results and at what energy results occur Fermilab strategy: completion of the Tevatron program, physics exploitation and upgrades of LHC. R&D on future machines: ILC if at “low” energy; muon collider if at high energy; new high field magnets for extension of LHC or future proton colliders at ultra-LHC energies P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  10. Roles: energy frontier LHC ILC, CLIC or Muon Collider Tevatron LHC LHC Upgrades ILC?? LHC 2022 2019 2016 Now 2013 P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  11. Gaps and roles: cosmic frontier The principal connection to particle physics: the nature of dark matter and dark energy Gap in the direct search for dark matter: get to “zero—background” technology. Gap in understanding dark energy is establishment of time evolution of the acceleration: new major telescopes (ground and space) Fermilab strategy: establish scalable “zero-background” technology for dark matter. Participate in future ground and space telescopes (the principal agencies are NSF and NASA, not DOE) P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  12. Roles: cosmic frontier DM: ~1 ton DE: LSST WFIRST?? BigBOSS?? DE: LSST WFIRST?? DM: ~100 kg DE: DES P. Auger Holometer? DM: ~10 kg DE: SDSS P. Auger 2022 2019 2016 2013 Now P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  13. Gaps and roles: intensity frontier Two principal approaches: 1) proton super-beams to study neutrinos and rare decays and 2) quark factories: in e+e- and LHCb Principal gap is the understanding of neutrinos and the observation of rare decays coupled to new physics processes Fermilab strategy: develop the most powerful set of facilities in the world for the study of neutrinos and rare processes, way beyond the present state of the art. Complementary to LHC and with discovery potential beyond LHC. DOE has the central role. P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  14. Roles: intensity frontier NOvA MicroBooNE g-2 SeaQuest MINOS MiniBooNE MINERvA SeaQuest Project X+LBNE m, K, nuclear, … n Factory ?? LBNE Mu2e 2022 2019 2016 2013 Now P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  15. Implementing the long term vision The most important foundation is to commit to building the most intense and flexible source. The foundation CANNOT be the present front end of Fermilab that is 40 years old Present existing and proposed sources elsewhere are pulsed linacs and synchrotrons, both with fundamental limitations for a comprehensive program at the intensity frontier Project X would be the dominant facility in the world with a very broad program P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  16. Implementing the vision LBNE is a key experiment in the neutrino area and already engages a very broad collaboration It can start with the 700kw beam developed for NOvA (facilities have to be built towards the DUSEL direction) It would ultimately deliver over 2000kW in the Project X era P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  17. Project X Reference Design P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  18. Project X Siting P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  19. Project X Capabilities > 2 MW delivered to a neutrino target at any energy between 60 – 120 GeV Simultaneous delivery of ~3 MW of high duty factor beam power to the 3 GeV program • Variable beam formats to multiple users • CW beam at time scales >1 msec • 10% duty factor on time scales < 1 msec Potential for development of additional programs at: • 1 GeV for nuclear energy experimentation • 8 GeV for neutrino or muon experimentation P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  20. Project X is central to the strategy Unique facility for rare decays: a continuous wave (CW), very high power, superconducting 3 GeVlinac. Will not exist anywhere else CW linac greatly enhances the capability for rare decays of kaons, muons CW linac is the ideal machine for other uses: Standard Model tests with nuclei (ISOL targets), possible energy and transmutation applications, cold neutrons P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  21. Project X is central to the strategy Coupled to an 8 GeV pulsed LINAC and to the Recycler and Main Injector, gives the most intense beams of neutrinos at high energy (LBNE) and low energy (for the successors to Mini and MicroBooNE) Makes use of modern accelerators at Fermilab (Recycler and Main Injector) and its scope would be difficult to reproduce elsewhere without this established base Eliminates proton economics as the major limitation: all experiments run simultaneously P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  22. Project X and other projects Project X benefits from the word-wide ILC R&D: SCRF and photo-e cloud. SCRF R&D positions the US to play a leading role in ILC. Capabilities and infrastructure developed for Project X will be useful for other domestic non HEP projects. Project X with upgrades can be the front end of a neutrino factory or a muon collider, opening paths for development of the intensity frontier and a road back to the energy frontier P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  23. LBNE and DUSEL

  24. P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  26. Comparative situation: Asia J-PARC Requires upgrade to JPARC, new detectors P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  27. Comparative situation: Europe MEMPHYS 450 Ktons LAGUNA LENA 50 ktons CERN GLACIER 100 ktons Reuires Project X and new synchrotron at CERN P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  28. US: Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment CD 0: January 2010 1300 km Collaboration: 288 members from 54 institutions (India, Italy, Japan, UK, US) Continue to grow!

  29. P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  30. DUSEL Lab Layout P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  31. Far detector: Water Cherenkov at 4850L DUSEL 4850L Campus Fiducial mass for each: 100 kton Proton decay limit > 6x1034 years for e+p final state in 10 years P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  32. Far detector: LAr TPC at 800L (Fiducial mass for each: 17 kton) LAr TPC in 800L facility with cosmic ray veto to enable proton decay (K+n) search. Proton decay limit > 3x1034 years for K+n final state in 10 years P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  33. LAr TPC is a great choice Need extremely good LAr purity, low convective flow P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  34. Time Projection Chamber (TPC) 168 APAs (each 250kg, 3840 chan) 224 CPAs (each 100kg, HV @125 kV) Field cage Cryogenic ASIC electronics Power, signal cables, feedthroughs, HV P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  35. Facility Overview: LAr TPCs Kirk Drift (existing) At 300 level Ross Headframe South Portal (new) Cryogenics building 300’ elevation North Portal (new) Access to cavern Kirk Road Yates Headframe P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  36. Neutrino physics sensitivities With Project X P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  37. Summary: the advantages of DUSEL Ideal distance from Fermilab for the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (1300 km). Will benefit by future upgrades of the Fermilab accelerators (Project X) Proven competent rock for large facilities at 4850 ft. depth; possibility of expansion to 7400 ft. level, the deepest in the world Large endowment (relative to other sites) in completed studies, permits, infrastructure, state support and ability to move quickly P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  38. Summary: restoring DUSEL Failure to secure interim funding for the Berkeley and Homestake teams endangers the projects. We are working very hard with DOE, NSF and beyond to restructure DUSEL so that it can be supported by both agencies. DOE is willing to help going forward both through OHEP and ONP P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  39. Workforce in transition Closure of a major facility at Fermilab: roughly 20% of the activities over a period of three to four years Largely attenuated by corresponding increase in funding for new projects But not completely, however. We need to match workforce to the tasks in front of us and we need to live within budgets in FY11 and FY12. Budgets are not yet defined P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  40. Workforce in transition When we proposed extending the Tevatron through 2011 we stated that we needed additional funds to do so. They do not exist in the continuing resolution We have squeezed everywhere to continue the run, including voluntary separation earlier in the year We do not know where the budget will settle in FY11: pending action by Congress P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  41. Workforce in transition We also do not know what the President’s budget contains for Office of Science for FY12. There was a previous commitment to double science in ten years. The commitment may not survive the present budget climate. When we know the FY11 real budget and the FY12 proposed budget we will be able to plan what exactly happens in the transition P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  42. Workforce in transition As an example, at the present level of the CR, some hundred jobs could be affected. This can be attenuated or increased depending on budget actions by the Administration and Congress Reductions would not fall only on the folks working at the Tevatron. We will optimize the workforce across the lab for the future missions of the laboratory. I have created a new task force to make the best match possible. P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 2011

  46. Fermilab moves forward World-class program ahead for us, with potentially huge impact at the three frontiers We have attenuated the impact from closing the Tevatron as much as possible and will continue to try to do so You have my commitment to do everything possible to keep Fermilab as the great institution that it is despite the difficult navigation ahead of us P.
