  2. The DOE HEP program in FY 2008 Overall HEP budget and priorities in FY 2008: • Tevatron and B-factory support. Last year of running for B Factory. • LHC Support (Ops and Computing) up $5.2M over FY07 Request – operations starting • Core research program at the universities and laboratories increased over 2007. • Initiatives for the future of HEP: • ILC R&D continues at FY2007 request level • Start of new neutrino initiatives • NUMI Off-axis neutrino Appearance experiment (NOVA): electron neutrino appearance. • Reactor Neutrino Detector at Daya Bay, China. • Dark Energy • Support for SNAP • R&D for ground and/or space efforts that can help optimize the design of Stage III or Stage IV experiments. Concepts will be selected by open competition, peer review; DETF will guide us • Dark Energy Survey (DES) Stage III experiment. • Enabling DOE funds for the camera, led by Fermilab • Proposed partnership with NSF-AST, and foreign partners • **Funding is contingent on successful scientific and technical reviews by the interested funding agencies. **
