  1. BNL’s Role in High Energy Physics Thomas B.W. Kirk Associate Director for High Energy and Nuclear Physics Brookhaven National Laboratory Snowmass Colorado July 2, 2001

  2. Current BNL HEP Activities • Approaching the Energy Frontier -Higgs, SUSY, ??? • D0 Upgrade - Preshower Det. & Software; D0 physics Run 2 startup • Host Lab for US ATLAS Construction & Computing Projects - LHC dets. & physics • Partner Lab for LHC Accelerator Project - SC magnets & cable testing • SNO and MINOS neutrino experiments (collaborators) • Probing beyond the Frontier! -rare processes/precision meas. • Muon (g-2) & rare K decay experiments at AGS - propagator physics! • Understanding the patterns - theory • Strong HEP Theory Group in current topical areas • Riken BNL Research Center with 0.6 Tflops QCDSP Supercomputer • Inventing the tools - future machines & technologies • Accelerator Physics and Superconducting Magnet R&D: • ATF, muon storage ring/collider, HTSCmagnet concepts Key investment!

  3. Near Term BNL HEP Plans (<10 yrs) • Exploring the Energy Frontier -Higgs, SUSY, ??? • D0 search for Higgs/SUSY in the moderate mass regime • US Host Lab for ATLAS LHC physics & Tier-1 Computing Center • Probing beyond the Frontier! -‘RSVP’ • MECO (m -> e direct conversion) - new physics up to 3000 TeV mass scale! • KOPIO & CKM (K0L-> p0n nbar) - golden decay for CP-violation h parameter • Muon electric dipole moment (EDM) search/measurement? • Understanding the patterns - theory • Strong HEP Theory Group in key topical areas, including lattice gauge! • Riken BNL Research Center with 10 Tflops QCDOC next generation SC • Lattice Gauge Center with 20 Tflops QCDOC Supercomputer • Inventing the tools - future machines & technologies • AGS Phase 1 intensity upgrade to a 0.4MW proton driver (~$100M) • Accelerator Physics and Superconducting Magnet R&D: n Superbeam I!

  4. AGS-based proton driver evolution • Parameter AGS Now Phase 1Phase 2 • Total beam power [MW] 0.14 0.401.00 • AGS beam energy [GeV] 24 24 24 • Linac beam energy [GeV] 0.2 1.21.2 • Average current [mA] 6 1742 • Cycle time [ms] 2000 1000 400 • Protons per fill 0.6x1014 1x1014 1x1014 • Average AGS current [A] 3.5 5.9 5.9 • No. of bunches at extraction 6 6 6 • No. of protons per bunch 1x1013 1.7x1013 1.7x1013 • Total bunch area [eVs] 15 5 5 • Beam bunch interval [ms] 33 20 20 n Superbeam II!

  5. Long Term BNL HEP Goals (>10 yrs) • Reaching to the Next Energy Frontier - new physics??? • LHC Luminosity upgrade, including detectors <=> extends LHC discoveries • Linear e+e- Collider (FNAL?) <=> extends LHC physics discoveries • VLHC <=> reaching beyond the few TeV mass scale! • Completing the neutrino story -advanced neutrino exps. • Superbeam neutrino experiments <=> complete the oscillation picture • Muon Storage Ring (BNL) <=> CP-violation in the lepton sector • Understanding the patterns - theory • Strong HEP Theory Group in then topical areas, including lattice gauge! • Riken BNL Research Center with N Pflops QCDxx Supercomputer? • Inventing the tools - future machines & technologies • Accelerator Physics and Superconducting Magnet R&D BNL Goal!
