To study Quarks/Cosmos: Quarks to the Cosmos (Q2C) Antimatter?: Dark matter? Dark energy? Masses (Higgs)?; Mixings?; Supersymmetry? Unification? More Dimensions? Gravity? We are working on partnerships …
Toward Defining a Broad Program Connecting to Quarks/Cosmos Building on Existing Partnerships Revolutionizing the way science is done through advanced cyberinfrastructure. A basis for restructuring the integration of international research and education. Empowering Universities in Research and Education Empowering teachers as part of the research community Bringing advanced cyberinfrastructure into the classroom by using distributed infrastructure supported for long times by Research programs. A true symbiosis- MPS/CISE/EHR/INT
Existing Partnerships-Leads to more funds available. PHY/MPS CISE EHRCROP, ASPIRE INTPhysicsEmasondosondo "Physics-on-the-move“ in Africa, and joint funding. Science/ AST With DOE
+ DEVELOPING GLOBALINTERAGENCY COLLABORATION DOE: OASCR; HEP NSF: CISE; EPP CERN; EU MORE... LHC and Global Infostructure US Agreement on 5 Principles: • The cost and complexity of 21st Century Science requires the creation of advanced and coherent global Infostructure • The construction of a coherent Global Infostructure for Science requires definition and driversfrom Global Applications (that will also communicate with each other) • Further, forefront Information Technology must be incorporated into this Global Infostructure for the Applications to reach their full potential for changing the way science is done. • LHC is a near term Global Application requiring advanced and un-invented Infostructure and is ahead in planning compared to many others. • U.S. agencies must work together for effective U.S. participation on Global scale infostructure, and the successful execution of the LHC program in a 4-way agency partnership,with international cooperation in view.
NEW GLOBAL PLANNING Implementation of Grids for International Collaboration and Education/Outreach Grid: Geographically distributed computing resourcesconfigured for coordinated use Fabric: Physical resources & networks provide raw capability Middleware: Software ties it all together (tools, services, etc.) Goal: Transparent resource sharing Plan for Functional Demonstration Grids Definition A series of functioning grids for use (now) by Trillium scientists and others--- version zero in November designed to be used in X countries and handle Y data. Each succeeding version (~6 months) will multiply these numbers by N>>1. With DOE
Features: Functional Demonstration Grids Illustrates leadership in global grid development, told in ways designed to reach a large and important international audience. Aligns project contributors and their products (from different cultures) in a common cause. Allows broader audience (science/geology/biology) to be contributors/testers. Serves as important milestones in getting the LHC “done.” Provides real world tests of new concept functionality over ~20 year timeframe. Points to what is needed next. Thus, it is a very important management tool.

NIST • Abstract • The science of particle beams is rich and challenging. Particle beams are many body systems with non-isotropic, non-thermal distribution, exhibiting many collective instabilities and self-organizing phenomena when interacting with electromagnetic fields and plasmas. Studies of these transitions from one non-equilibrium state to another, has progressed rapidly in recent years, but much remains to be done. The impact of particle beam, or accelerator science is extremely broad. Indeed, advances in many branches of science such as the materials sciences, nuclear science, elementary particle science, to name but a few, are paced by advances in accelerator science and technology. Much of the work in these areas has come to reside in the DoE National Laboratories. There is growing realization that universities have a unique and important role to play and that enhancing the university role will result in significant advances in accelerator science and development and in their broad impact on other sciences. The needs and opportunities are discussed herein.

FY 03 EPP Priorities • Increase Funding for University Groups • Support Ongoing Experiments • Add Needed Funds to NSB Approved Activities • All above based on peer review
Physics Fall Target Date • The target date for proposal submissions to the Division of Physics that are competing for FY 2004 funds is September 24, 2003. • The above date does not apply to proposals sent to the Physics Division in response to Foundation-wide solicitations, such as the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER – July 22, 2003) or Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs. • There are two general merit review criteria approved by the National Science Board (NSB) and listed in the GPG: (1) the intellectual merit of the proposed activity, and (2) the broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity. All proposals must separately address both of the merit review criteria in the Project Summary and should describe the broader impacts as an integral part of the narrative in the Project description. • Please note that this is not a shift in the priorities or strategic vision of the Division. It is rather a call for greater effort in expressing the broader context of our work.
Summary • We recognize the importance of doing LC R&D • We expect to put significantly more funds into LC R&D in FY04 • We look forward to your next proposal(s)
Physics at the Information Frontier Program Description This program provides support for proposals in three subareas: computational physics, information intensive physics, and quantum information and revolutionary computing. Computational physics focuses on computational problems in physics requiring significant long-term code development, and/or medium to large collaboratories involving physicists or physicists interacting with applied mathematicians and computer scientists. Information intensive physics seeks to develop rapid, secure and efficient access to physics data stores rising from Petabytes (today) to Exabytes (in 10 years) via heterogeneous and distributed computing resources and networks of varying capability and reliability. Quantum information and revolutionary computing supports proposals that continue to explore applications of quantum mechanics to new computing paradigms for physics.
Underground Science Laboratory Update • NSAC PLAN • HEPAP PLAN • REPORT ON THE SEPTEMBER NEUTRINO AND SUBTERRANEAN SCIENCE WORKSHOP • http://www.physics.umd.edu/ness02/ • DECEMBER 2002 SUMMARY BOARD ON PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY • A deep underground laboratory can house a new generation of experiments that will advance our understanding of the fundamental properties of neutrinos and the forces that govern elementary particles, as well as shedding light on the nature of the dark matter that holds the Universe together. Recent discoveries about neutrinos, new ideas and technologies, and the scientific leadership that exists in the U.S., make the time ripe to build such a unique facility. • http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/Neutrinos_Sum.pdf

Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through Cyberinfrastructure: • Report of the National Science FoundationBlue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure • http://www.cise.nsf.gov/evnt/reports/toc.htm • Executive Summary Excerpt • Testimony from research communities indicate that many contemporary projects require effective federation of both distributed resources (data and facilities) and distributed, multidisciplinary expertise, and that cyberinfrastructure is a key to making this possible.... A few examples are the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulations (NEES), the Space Physics and Aeronomy Research Collaboratory (SPARC), the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), the Grid Physics Network (GriPhyN), the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory (iVDGL), and the High Energy Physics Collaboratory for the ATLAS project
Report of the National Science FoundationBlue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure • The Panel”s overarching recommendation is that the National Science Foundation should establish and lead a large-scale, interagency, and internationally coordinated Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Program (ACP) to create, deploy, and apply cyberinfrastructure in ways that radically empower all scientific and engineering research and allied education.
