f Accelerator Division Issues (1)

• Completing the present Program– Run II– Neutrinos

• End of Tevatron Era– Energy Frontier Disappears– Fermilab is now the only U.S. HEP laboratory– EPP2010 asks how long Tevatron should run

• Defining a future accelerator program– Neutrinos– Proton Driver– Other high beam power sources for neutrinos and other

applications such as The OBIETRON– ILC– Astrophysics and accelerators

f Accelerator Division Issues (2)

• Accelerator Division Manpower– Making the Transition to the future

program(s)– Maintaining a vital workforce

• Budgets• Global issues for later

– U.S. Support of Science – The gathering storm
