  1. Snowmass Summary:Next steps with P-5 D. MacFarlane August 23, 2013

  2. Goals for the P5 Process • Takes the science vision of the community and produce a feasible and executable 10-year plan • HEP MUST have a planning and prioritization process that the community can stand behind and support once completed • Key elements envisioned for the P5 process: • Revisit the questions we use to describe the field (eg. Quantum Universe, updated and corrected) • Decide on the project priorities within budget guidance (in detail for the next 10 years, in broad outline beyond that) • Propose the best way to describe the value of HEP research to society • Build on the investment in Snowmass process and outcomes Snowmass Summary: Next steps with P-5

  3. P5 Process • P5 panel of about 20+ members, similar in size to previous panels • Chair (Steve Ritz) and HEPAP Chair (Andy Lankford) working on membership • Charge also under discussion: could back away from specific scenarios and focus more on science strategy • Community input • Several “town meetings” (4-5) as public forums not only to advocate for particular science opportunities but also to prioritize • Working subgroup for updating the Quantum Universe questions in parallel with science priority discussion

  4. Two separate (non-P5) working groups • Science Connections, highlighting the scientific areas where HEP advances, informs, and benefits from other DOE/SC programs • Co-chairs Shamit Kachru (Stanford/SLAC) and Curt Callan (Princeton) • HEP Impact, developing a potential list of messages for the U.S. HEP community to use in communicating the broad impact of HEP in technology, workforce development, and other societal benefits • Interested parties are strongly encouraged to engage with the Education and Outreach group at Snowmass • These groups would produce short reports to HEPAP/P5 by the end of the calendar year in order to provide timely input that can be integrated by P5

  5. Draft Proposed Town Meetings • First meeting on the overall strategy • Questions to describe the field, and discussion of how technology development priorities and other crosscutting issues should be covered in the P5 report • Subsequent meetings will focus on open community discussion of project priorities • Meetings organized around science questions or Frontiers • Based on the results of the first 4 meetings, a 5th ‘wrap up’ meeting to discuss any broad matters arising

  6. P5 Timeline May: DOE/NSF agree on outlines of P5 process and inform community via presentations and “dear colleague” letter June: Call for nominations to P5 July: Agencies draft P5 charge. HEPAP Chair reviews P5 nominations and begins selection process August : Snowmass meeting. P5 charge sent to HEPAP Chair. Sept : HEPAP Meeting. Snowmass reports issued. P5 charge and membership formally announced. Timeline for P5 meetings announced. Fall 2013 : Town Meetings (4 or 5, venues and topics TBD) Winter/Spring 2014 : P5 meetings (phone in and face to face) Spring/Summer 2014 : P5 report(s) due. Exact dates and deliverables to be spelled out in P5 charge.
