SLAC Mission

Photon Science Discoveries– To make discoveries in photon science at the frontiers

of the ultrasmall and ultrafast in a wide spectrum of physical and life sciences

Particle and Astroparticle Physics Discoveries– To make discoveries in particle and astroparticle

physics to redefine humanity’s understanding of what the universe is made of and the forces which control it

Operate Safely; Train the Best– To operate a safe laboratory that employs and trains

the best and brightest, helping to ensure the future economic strength and security of the nation

SLAC Future – Responding to the

Changing Scientific LandscapeThe balance of the scientific elements of the Lab are

changing:

The size of the photon science program will grow dramatically in the next three years By 2009, the on-site accelerators, SPEAR3 and LCLS, will both be doing Photon Science. By 2009, DOE’s Basic Energy Science office will be the dominant budget at SLAC

The B Factory will have it’s last year of data-taking in FY2008.

Post FY2008, Particle and Particle-astro physics will be focused on B Factory data analysis, the International Linear Collider (ILC), HEP theory and a suite of non-accelerator telescopes

SLAC will continue its strong tradition of accelerator science

New Laboratory Organization

Our Major Stakeholders are Investing in Our Future

Our primary stake-holders, DOE/Congress and Stanford University, are both making large investments at SLAC

o DOE has entrusted SLAC with the long-term of one of the world’s most exciting accelerator-based scientific landscapes ― ultra-fast science. This complements the recent investment in SPEAR3

o Stanford University is likewise investing in major ways in our long-term future

• Ultra-Fast Science Center

• Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology

• Guest House

Total DOE Funding is Increasing

Stanford University:A Crucial Element in SLAC’s

Success

The key to SLAC’s success and style has been its intimate connection to a great research university.

SLAC is a School of Stanford University – there is a very close coupling to both the academic and administrative leadership of Stanford

o The University is a pro-active contract administrator of SLAC – it provides very close, supportive and highly skilled oversight of the Laboratory

o Facilitates recruitment to SLAC of exceptional intellectual capital both at the faculty and staff level

o Crucial investments by the university have and will greatly leverage the Government’s investments

Photon Science: Outstanding Leadership

LCLS Construction

LCLS is a major endeavor. It will require and receive the talents of the full laboratory to build, commission and operate

Anticipate major upgrades to begin ~2012 LCLS is a very large and long-term

commitment from the Federal Government to the SLAC site

Budget - $379M through 2009. Commissioning in FY2008. Operations start in April 2009

Nothing is More Important to SLAC’sSustainability than Strong ES&H

Performance

I am deeply committed to the very highest levels of ES&H performance – outstanding science is science performed safely. You will find the same dedication and commitment from the rest of the Directors and our staffo I need the same level of commitment and

performance from the User Community and I thank you for your past strong cooperation and dedication in this regard
