• As in human history, one cannot know the future with certainty, but it is important to know the Times, and its opportunities:– War or Peace; – Economic Boom or Depression; – Cultural Renaissance or Dark Ages…

• Particle Physics is entering the age of the Terascale– The reigning theory (standard model) is as precise

as it is incomplete.– How the weak and electromagnetic forces unify is a

mystery– …but the consequences are likely dramatic. We are

poised for great discovery.• Dark Energy & Dark Matter: what are they, and how (do?)

they relate to the Terascale?• Neutrinos – what are they telling us?

• To support a U.S. leadership role in this coordinated international effort, DOE is requesting a doubling the ILC R&D budget in FY2007 Presidents Request ($30M$60M)– Would enables significant progress on all major

subsystems– Begins industrialization of key components so that U.S.

industry can get “up to speed” and successfully compete for contracts if ILC is built

– Includes detector R&D funding (a change from previous years)

• This is a major step forward for the ILC effort, although it is NOT yet– Approval of construction, or engineering design

• Our goal for the R&D program at this stage is to provide solid technical, cost and schedule information to governments for a decision on ILC construction around the end of the decade.

• We are supporting core experimental and theoretical research at labs and universities to maintain approximately the FY 2006 level-of-effort, or slightly above:

• University-based physics research up ~6% overall• Lab-based physics research up ~2% overall

• Goals:– To maintain strong participation in the Tevatron, B-

factory and LHC physics programs– To help support research activities associated with new

initiatives such as ILC R&D, neutrinos, dark energy, and dark matter.

– Also includes ongoing (unchanged from FY06) HEP contributions to the cross-cutting SciDAC program and the Lattice QCD IT investment, joint with Nuclear Physics.

• In addition to increases in ILC R&D, there is in the FY2007 request an additional significant increase (+$5M, or ~18%) in the long-range R&D program that supports fundamental research into the physics of beams and accelerator technologies (“accelerator science”)

• The goal is to enable the restoration of the accelerator science research program to the level needed to support long-term R&D on new particle acceleration techniques and technologies, such as:– Novel particle acceleration concepts– New superconductors and their application– Very high gradient accelerating structures– Advanced beam instrumentation– Theory and simulation of beams– User facilities to test these concepts

• Advice from the community (e.g., J. Marx AARD panel) provides needed input for developing this program

US High Energy Physics at a US High Energy Physics at a CrossroadsCrossroads

• Is there, will there be, a community-wide vision?– EPP2010 and P5 roadmap as the basis for a broad vision.

• The stronger the consensus, the better chance we have at achieving our goals.

• If it business as usual, every experiment for itself, these chances will diminish significantly and rapidly.

• Most of these proposed experiments require significant, large resources; but the science can be exciting for a broad audience, and will likely be of great historical significance.

• What do you want the long-term future of US particle physics to be, and what are you willing to do to promote a common vision?

• “Your work over the decades has led to great science, to breakthrough concepts, and to the United States’ unquestioned leadership in physics. And it has benefited our nation in many ways. The President recognizes the contribution that fundamental research makes to our nation, particularly to our economic competitiveness and to our quality of life as Americans.”

• “I fully support the possibility of bringing the International Linear Collider to this Lab. There are a great many difficult steps that will be needed for this to occur. This audience understands better than I just what those steps are and how difficult they will be. But it is a goal worth fighting for. This may turn out to be the most profound new science that we will be seeing in our lifetime.”
