  13. The Scientific Case • NRC EPP2010 (2006) • Deep Science (2006) • Physics of the Universe (2004) • Connecting Quarks to Cosmos (2003) • HEPAP P5 Roadmap • Boards, panels, AAAC, Decadal Survey T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  14. NSF/EPP Underlying Themes • Empowering University-Based Investigators • Adding Value • Partnerships • Building Interdisciplinary Collaboration • Broadening Participation • Single Investigators • Non-traditional/Underrepresented participants • Research at Undergraduate Institutions • Education and Outreach Activities T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  15. NSF/EPP Portfolio • University Program • Accelerator based physics • Hadron Colliders: CDF, DØ, CMS, ATLAS, LHCb • Electron Positron Colliders:CLEO-c, BaBar • Neutrinos:MINOS, NOVA, MINERvA, MiniBooNE, Double CHOOZ… • Particle Astrophysics and Non-Accelerator based physics • Pierre Auger, SDSS, CDMS, COUPP, Xenon 10, Drift, Veritas, … • Theory • Computational physics • LHC Experiment Construction and Operations • DUSEL • CESR/CLEO-c • Accelerator and Detector R&D • ILC Accel and Det R&D • MICE • Advanced Technologies • Partnerships & Broader Impacts T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  16. Particle Physics Funding History T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  17. Partnerships • Cyberscience • DISUN/Tier 2c (with OCI) • UltraLight (with OCI) • Trillium and OSG (with OCI and DOE) • Education with research • QuarkNet (with OMA, EHR and DOE/HEP) • CHEPREO (with OMA, OCI, EHR, OISE) • I2U2 (with OMA, EHR) • Mariachi (OCI funded) • CyberBridges (OCI funded) T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  18. NSF Partnership with DOE • NSF is committed to close partnership with DOE on several fronts on EPP: • LHC (construction of detectors, NSF supporting science on ATLAS, CMS, PHY $18M/yr + OCI $1M/yr) • DUSEL (NSF steward; DOE supports R&D) • ILC (DOE steward; NSF & DOE on FALC and R&D; NSF $1.44M in FY07) T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  19. NSF/DOE Partnership Example • ILC Accelerator R&D at Cornell • Recent SRF Cavity Development Cornell,  in collaboration with KEK, has reached a new world record accelerating field in a single cell superconducting niobium  cavity :  Eacc = 57 - 59 MV/m. T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  20. NSF/DOE Partnership Example • QuarkNet • Currently: 53 Centers in 25 States & Puerto Rico • Active research participants: • 500 High School Teachers • 100 High School Students • 150 Physicist Mentors • Coverage: 12 Major Expts + GRID Immersive research experiences for HS Teachers and Students T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting

  21. Messages to “take away” • NSF is and expects to remain a strong supporter of the Fermilab experimental program and its broader impacts. • NSF has a successful history of partnerships with DOE/OHEP • LHC: Detector Construction and LHC Operations • Pierre Auger, KamLAND, CDMS, Veritas,… • QuarkNet • NSF vision of partnerships for the Future • ILC: DOE is lead, with NSF in supporting role • DUSEL: NSF is lead, with DOE in supporting role T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting
