  6. HEP Program Layout HEP is carried out along 3 Frontiers: Advancements at all 3 frontiers are needed to achieve the long term goals of the field. HEP is primarily a Particle Accelerator based program: Energy & Intensity Frontiers Cosmic Frontier is an increasingly important area for discovery. Experiments use naturally occurring data to provide additional input to the Standard Model picture: Cosmic Acceleration (Dark Energy, Inflation), search for Dark Matter particles, New Physics (neutrino properties, relic particles, etc) Areas of study to fully carry out the program: • Theoretical research • High Performance Computing  Exascale; Artificial Intelligence/Machine-learning • State-of-the-Art Detector and Accelerator technology development • Quantum Information Science (QIS) is a quickly-growing area. HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19

  7. HEP Program Guidance FACA panels & subpanels provide official advice: • High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) • Jointly chartered by DOE and NSF to advise both agencies • Provides the primary advice for the HEP program • Subpanels for detailed studies (e.g. Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, “P5”,in 2008, 2014 – Our Strategic Plan • Astronomy and Astrophysics Advisory Committee (AAAC) • Advises DOE, NASA, and NSF on selected issues in astronomy & astrophysics of overlap, mutual interest and concern Formal Advice Also Provided by: • National Academy of Sciences (NAS) • Decadal Surveys in Astronomy & Astrophysics, Elementary Particle Physics • Board on Physics & Astronomy (BPA), Committee on Astronomy & Astrophysics (CAA) Other: • Community science studies and input (e.g. Snowmass, Dark Energy Task Force, DPF input). • CMB-S4 Concept Design Team (CDT), Gemini-Blanco-SOAR Telescopes roles subpanels of AAAC • Significant Interagency and International Partnerships & Coordination – this is a global field! • Astro-Particle International Forum (APIF) – Agency-level international group • Tri-Agency Group (TAG) – DOE, NASA, NSF-AST meetings on LSST, WFIRST, Euclid coordination HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19

  8. HEP Program Planning: follow P5 Strategic Plan • HEP science priorities come from community via HEPAP advisory panel Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (“P5”) 2014 strategic plan: • provided the critical scientific questions • recommended a portfolio of facilities and projects in Energy, Intensity, Cosmic Frontiers to optimally address the science within realistic constraints; also investments in Theory, Detector R&D, Accelerator R&D • 10 year plan, with 20 year vision • P5 recommended Cosmic Frontier science & project priorities in Dark Energy, Dark Matter (direct detection), and CMB • Dark Energy: build LSST & DESI • Dark Matter: direct detection search suite of “generation 2” experiments • CMB: support as part of the core program within multi-agency context; carry out multi-agency CMB-S4 project later in the decade • Maintain a portfolio of small projects: e.g. ADMX-G2, SPT-3G, Dark Matter New Initiatives • HEP Community support of this process is a critical element of its success Cosmic Acceleration Dark Matter HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19

  9. HEP Program Execution • DOE is a mission-oriented agency. The projects are selected for the (P5) strategic plan that will provide significant leaps in science. Then we support the community to carry out these projects/experiments. • The priority is to support research efforts directly in line with HEP program & project priorities, responsibilities & science goals • DOE/HEP is not a unique supporter of Cosmic Frontier research goals; but HEP research community does bring some particular scientific expertise and technical resources • Therefore, consider 2009 PASAG reportcriteriato determine where, and at what level HEP participates in specific projects that make significant advances in science • Particularly where HEP community brings unique or leadership contributions • Particle Physics is Global • Form partnerships or use other agency’s/country’s facilities when needed • Most HEP projects have international contributions • We have significant planning & coordination with multiple offices in other agencies: NSF-PHY, NSF-AST, NSF-PLR, NASA; and multiple international partners.

  20. P5 Report – Cosmic Frontier Cosmic Acceleration • Dark Energy (Also recommended by Astro2010) • Complete LSST as planned • Build DESI as a major step forward in dark energy science • Dark Matter • Proceed immediately with a broad second-generation (G2) dark matter direct detection program with capabilities • Invest in this program at a level significantly above that called for in the 2012 joint agency announcement of opportunity • Support one or more third-generation (G3) direct detection experiments • Guide G3 by the results of the preceding (G1, G2) searches • Seek a globally complementary program and increased international partnership in G3 experiments (DM-G3 is in the P5 plan later in later part of their 10 year plan.) • Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) • Support CMB experiments as part of the core particle physics program • The multidisciplinary nature of the science warrants continued multi-agency support (CMB-S4 Project is in P5 plan, starting ~midway through their 10 year plan.) • Explore the Unknown, including through cosmic rays and gamma rays Dark Matter Explore the Unknown Neutrino Mass HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19

  21. Research Support – Activities • What DOE supports • Research efforts (mainly scientists) on R&D, experiment design, fabrication, data-taking, analysis-related activities • Theory, simulations, phenomenology, computational studies • Some engineering support may be provided in the Detector R&D subprogram • Support depends on merit review process and programmatic factors • Funding efforts that are in direct support of our programs • Faculty support • Typically, the full research time of the faculty member throughout the whole year is supported by providing 2 months summer salary and support for the group. • Summer support should be adjusted according to % time the faculty is on research effort • Research Scientists • Efforts are related towards research; not long-term operations and/or project activities • Consider case-by-case on merits: could the research be fulfilled by a postdoc? • What’s not supported by research grants • Any significant operations and/or project-related activities: • Engineering, major items of equipment, consumables for prototyping or production • Non-HEP related efforts • Gravitational waves (LIGO), Astronomy, Heavy Ion (RHIC), AMO Science, etc… • Funding for theory/simulations/phenomenology/computational efforts in direct support of our experiments is in Cosmic – otherwise should be proposed to the Theory program. HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19

  22. HEP University Grants – Working in the Program • Typical HEP researcher: • Has an experimental program that may involve analysis on one experiment while constructing the next experiment. • Makes long term commitments to our experiment/project/science as a closely integrated member of the collaboration. • He/she has specific commitments (service work) & responsibilities for our projects/experiments that may include operations roles and data analysis with one experiment while constructing or designing the next one.Theseresponsibilities may evolve over time as the experiment progresses through phases. • -- Not funded for one particular study or effort here and there • In your proposal: • Explain your long term program, how it progresses over time & how pieces fit together; include info on your past few years. • Details on what you’re doing the next 3 years, your responsibilities and efforts, why they’re important to the project/experiment and why they’re important and a priority NOW. • Explain what fraction of time you’re working on each effort (whether or not HEP funded) • Describe & justify personnel and resources needed to carry out your responsibilities: postdocs, student, travel, computing etc. HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19

  23. HEP University Grants – New Efforts • Universities: Model for starting to work in the field & get a grant: • Get involved in experiment/science and take on responsibilities for the collaboration and then submit proposal. • Have involvement in the community so that you are part of the HEP community! (e.g. DPF meetings) • Lot of science topics may be in, e.g., dark energy plan or related to dark energy but need to think of what is the priority & main efforts needed and which are needed now! • Have responsibilities for the experiment – not just your own science simulations & analysis. • Many people have program working on a series of experiments (e.g.) DES operations/analysis while participating in LSST planning and construction. Not all has to be funded by HEP! • Show track record and have responsibilities before funding starts. • Transitioning to a new project/field requires a lot of work to get up to speed. • - best for faculty member to take the time to really learn the field and take on responsibility first HEP Cosmic Frontier Research, CMB-S4 mtg, 10/18/19
