  1. Fermilab Program Overview Pier Oddone September 25, 2007

  2. Transition completed successfully L.8 Offeror’s Involvement/Resources Robert Zimmer, President Fred Bernthal, President Robert Zimmer, ChairFred Bernthal, Vice-ChairPier Oddone, President Clearly defined responsibility for corporate oversight

  3. Programs • The Energy Frontier • Tevatron, LHC • ILC, LHC Upgrades • The neutrino frontier • Minos, MiniBooNe, SciBooNe • NOvA, Minerva • Particle Astrophysics • SDSS, Pierre Auger, CDMS II • DES, CDMS-25kg, SNAP

  4. Program features • Theory and Computation • Play a key role in all three aspects of the program • Collaborations • From the beginning an NTF: True National Laboratory • New consolidation of facilities at Fermilab –>> increased responsibility • Planning for the future • Critical juncture for particle physics • Plans developed with the HEP community

  5. Tevatron: the fuel Tevatron peak and integrated luminosities

  6. Tevatron: the product • Very large number of results – dominant at international conferences • Important constraints from precision measurements, direct searches, rare decays • The laboratory and collaborations’ position: extend running through 2010.

  7. Constraint MSSM (CMSSM) With Electroweak precision measurements and cold dark matter density (WMAP, …) Sven Heinemeyer, Georg Weiglein

  8. LP2007 Tevatron Expected Tevatron Observed SM Higgs Searches at Tevatron

  9. LHC Commissioning • Major problem with inner triplets in March test • All triplets are fixed, several pressure-tested in the tunnel, most installed • Root cause analysis is complete and available on the web • Sector 4-5 may have to be warmed up for triplet installation

  10. LHC Commissioning: inner triplets

  11. LHC Commissioning: timeline June 12 schedule

  12. Commissioning: Remote Ops. Center LHC Accelerator LHC Detector (CMS)

  13. CMS Commissioning • Established CMS Center, headed by Lothar Bauerdick • New leadership in LHC Physics Center: Dan Green and Chris Tully • Commissioning detector underground

  14. CMS Commissioning

  15. ILC preparations • Major development of infrastructure at Fermilab • NML Cryomodule Test Facility • IB-9 Clean Room Facility • With ANL: EP and BCP processing facility • Vertical Test Stand • Horizontal Test Stand • Key player in the RDR and EDR in collaboration with many institutions • Central role in linac SCRF technology development and conventional/site studies

  16. ILC preparations Horizontal Test Stand Vertical Test Stand

  17. ILC preparations: NML

  18. ILC preparations Clean Room Cryomodule assembly 3.9 GHz Cryomodule

  19. MiniBooNE rules out to 98% CL the LSND result interpreted as nm ne oscillations described with standard L/E dependence • The as-yet-unexplained deviation of MiniBooNE data from prediction at low-energy • Under investigation Neutrinos: MiniBooNE

  20. MC MINOS MC Neutrinos: MINOS sin22q23 + Dm232 By 2009 K2K MINOS 2007 SuperK

  21. Neutrinos: expanding program • Minos: search for electron appearance • MiniBooNE: what is happening at low energy • SciBooNE (from K2K detector) running well • Minerva construction started • NOvA project start; CD2/3a this November

  22. Particle Astrophysics: SDSS As seen in: National Geographic, Hoshi Navi and Newton (Japanese magazines), and soon in a college-level Chemistry textbook (Silberberg)

  23. SDSS: combined results WMAP This plot shows constraints on cosmological parameters from SDSS galaxy distribution. Yellow and orange are WMAP [1 year and 3 year]; red is adding in SDSS. Notice how constraints on w and neutrino mass are especially tightened by SDSS.

  24. CDMS Running at Soudan ~650 kg-day exposure CDMS is the only direct detection dark matter experiment currently running without backgrounds! MSSM DAMA Large calibration data sets Published CDMS limit High efficiency for collecting data Xenon10 limit Current sensitivity of CDMS

  25. Pierre Auger Hybrid event (~1019eV) recorded by four fluorescence telescopes and the surface array

  26. Exp Obs >1019.6 132 +/- 9 51 > 1020 30 +/- 2.5 2 Calibration unc. 18% FD syst. unc. 22% 5165 km2 sr yr ~ 0.8 full Auger year Pierre Auger: Energy spectrum Suppression evident at high energy

  27. Additional impounded results • Remarkable first result from COUPP. Submitted to Science • Exciting results on the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from Pierre Auger. Submitted to Science

  28. Major issue: planning for the future • What is the national program: especially the accelerator based domestic program? • Planning has to be centered on recovering the energy frontier: ILC • But there are unresolved issues • Sufficient energy at 0.5 TeV? • Domestic and international arrangements? • When?

  29. Problems with competitive situation • In a world with a delayed ILC or no ILC – grave risk that we are left ONLY with accelerator R&D without world leading facilities either at the energy frontier or the intensity frontier • Once we are in that bucket: much harder to get out to a position to build the next global facility: the accelerator based program will be smaller

  30. Problem: selection vs. roadmap • We have selected the projects to start: DES, NOvA, Daya Bay – only NOvA is a “large project”. It is the start of a roadmap • Problem: “…I want a dialog with the HEP community…” leads to “we’ll talk to you in three years….” • Example: can say “wait until we know sin2q13” or build a roadmap that depends on that number

  31. Fermilab Steering Group • Steering Group NOT to provide a plan A vs. plan B, rather an integrated roadmap with discovery opportunities in the next two decades that: • supports the international R&D and engineering design for as early a start of the ILC as possible and supports the development of Fermilab as a potential host site for the ILC; • develops options for an accelerator-based high energy physics program in the event the start of the ILC construction is slower than the technically-limited schedule; and

  32. Fermilab Steering Group • includes the steps necessary to explore higher energy colliders that might follow the ILC or be needed should the results from LHC point toward a higher energy than that planned for the ILC • Broad community engagement under the leadership of deputy director Young Kee Kim

  33. What we are asking P5 • Take into consideration it takes a minimum of four years to break ground on any new project • Need recommendations on the roadmap that take account of the full complexity of the world in which we live • If the roadmap we propose is to be effective, it needs R&D support for project preparation
