2. Outline DUSEL Scientific Promise and Project Status International opportunities Timelines and key decision points

7. Proposed Science in DUSEL Four main pillars of emerging national physics program Long Baseline ? experiment Proton Decay ßß decay Dark Matter Other programs (list growing as possibilities become known) New capabilities in nuclear and neutrino astrophysics Research in geology, chemistry, biology, atmospheric sciences!

8. NSF/DOE agreed to establish DUSEL Physics Joint Oversight Group (JOG) immediately after release of P5 report (May 2008). Will jointly coordinate & oversee DUSEL experimental physics program. JOG meeting bi- monthly. Both agencies closely collaborating in defining and realizing the DUSEL physics program. Agencies have agreed on DUSEL stewardship roles & core research program:

9. International Opportunities Open Global Laboratory NSF would steward DUSEL for the world community Experiments and collaborations welcome International partners assume only incremental costs Infrastructure investment already made Network of similar labs around the world? Coordinated, distributed global program Cooperative stewardship model For multi-component scope (not, e.g., ITER) Well defined “steward” – “co-sponsor” roles Well defined extent of risk Extend “JOG” concept as appropriate

10. Summary DUSEL Scientific Promise and Project Status Potentially transformational; over a decade in planning Solid technical trajectory towards Preliminary Design Review in early 2011 Timelines and key decision points Establish baseline late 2011 Final Design Review mid-2013? Construction start 2014? International Opportunities Partners in facility definition; Partners in discovery Broad scientific scope

13. Project Status: Facility Design: Design team at UC Berkeley and SD School of Mines has been completed and is making good progress on the preliminary design. Experiments Design: Multiple collaborations have been formed (S4 awards) composed of University and National lab teams to design a set of world class experiments for DUSEL lab. Sanford Lab: Significant progress in dewatering 4850 Level infrastructure restoration underway Safety Culture: Project team and Sanford Lab. developing a safety culture to allow for a world class safe Laboratory. Preliminary Design expected end of CY 2010
