The Medium Energy Program Outline: Program Overview Some Recent Results FY 2008 Funding Summary
The Medium Energy Subprogram • Facilities: • TJNAF – 12 GeV Upgrade @ CD-2 • Support Seven Laboratory Research Groups: • TJNAF 3 Hall Research Staff • ANL: Medium Energy (TJNAF, Hermes, ATTA), HE (RHIC-spin) • BNL: RHIC-spin • LANL: MiniBooNe, RHIC-spin • Manage ~46 University grants • ~ 100 Faculty / Research Staff • ~ 45 Post Docs • ~ 133 Graduate Students • ~ 45 Undergraduate Students
Medium Energy Science Program • QCD with Electron Beams: • TJNAF • MAMI • Cornell • GRAAL • QCD with Proton Beams: • RHIC-spin program • Fermilab Drell-Yan E906 • Precision Measurements: • ATTA (charge radius of 6,8He, EDM) The charge radius for 8He has been measured for the first time @GANIL. Radius is smaller than for 6He and is consistent with a Green’s Function MC calculation. • MiniBooNe (sterile neutrino) results exclude LSND result, low energy excess (<475 MeV) is being studied, anti-ndata running will continue thru 2009. • nEDM several university groups participating
Summary • FY2008 research funding down by ~2.3% compared to FY2007; but grants and most lab groups maintained at FY2007 funding levels. • FY2009 research funding will be bleak if we have a year long CR. • Brad Plaster from the University of Kentucky was one of three OJI award winners this year for his work on nEDM!
