  1. Globalization of HEP Subgroup of Young Physicists Forum steering committee Véronique Boisvert, John Krane, Gudrid Moortgat-Pick, Mark Palmer, Manuel Toharia

  2. Overview • Demise of SSC: • Lack of international cooperation in the project • Need for consensus • International Cooperation in HEP • Steering of long-term decisions • Funding and Construction of Large Projects • Operation of Large Projects

  3. International Cooperation • Right now no international steering group • Now: Ad hoc committees: form, report, disband • Could have a semi-permanent advisory group, eventually some funding control? • Important to have government representatives • Theorists, particle experimentalists, accelerator physicists: all need to be represented • Possible Disadvantages: • Loss of national pride • Possible HEP budget decrease?

  4. The International Laboratory • National facilities: • Operated by host country, planning, project definition done in international collaboration • Larger facilities: • Operated by host country, construction by several countries • HERA model • Very large projects • collaboration of several countries with comparable share of the total construction and operation cost • Never been done before • Very large projects • in the frame of an international organization • CERN model From ICFA

  5. Regional Centers • Distance is a barrier for effective contributions, specially for young physicists ! • Possible solution is Regional Centers: • Laboratory capable of • remote operation of the accelerator and detectors • data processing • Make use of current national laboratories • Don’t have to travel too far: attract students • Funding agencies will like the periodic control • Host lab doesn’t get completely overwhelmed • Disadvantage: $ cost! $, viability?

  6. What you should be thinking about while at Snowmass: • Can and should the field start a planning process at an international level? How? Etc. • What should be the structure of a future International Laboratory? • Are the benefits of Regional Centers worth the costs? • How can we solve the problem of separation for young physicists?
