Status, Issues and Observations-- Postcards from Paraguay R. Dixon
Trip Planner • Status • Issues Facing the Accelerator Division • Issues we share with the Laboratory • Global Issues
What is the Key to Our Success? • AD Personnel • Talented • Dedicated • Focused • Tough • Together
Accelerator Division Issues (1) • Completing the present Program • Run II • Neutrinos • End of Tevatron Era • Energy Frontier Disappears • Fermilab is now the only U.S. HEP laboratory • EPP2010 asks how long Tevatron should run • Defining a future accelerator program • Neutrinos • Proton Driver • Other high beam power sources for neutrinos and other applications such as The OBIETRON • ILC • Astrophysics and accelerators
Accelerator Division Issues (2) • Accelerator Division Manpower • Making the Transition to the future program(s) • Maintaining a vital workforce • Budgets • Global issues for later • U.S. Support of Science • The gathering storm
AD manpower needs forAccelerator Operations FY05-09 Present Level AD now 575
Accelerator Division Issues (3) • Aging Infrastructure • Collaborations w/other laboratories and Universities
Laboratory Issues that Relate to AD • Contract is to be re-bid • History • Institutional Relationship • Relationship with our users • Relationship with our funding agency • Big science and funding • Oversight
Global Issues • Science outlook in the U.S. • Original Motivations • What is the future of accelerators at the energy frontier? • “Real”Accelerator R&D vs “Real” Projects
