• The purpose of my talk is to discuss the DOE view towards the future of high energy physics in the US and Fermilab’s role in it.
• Fermilab is a GREAT LABORATORY, that has played a central and critical role in US particle physics.
• The laboratory is approximately 40% of the National DOE HEP budget. This is up almost 5% from the late-90s.

• But I’m here to talk about the future.
• Simply put, Fermilab will play a central and critical role for US particle physics – both here and abroad.
• We know that budgets have been very stressful – in carrying out our existing programs with the universities, and planning for our future.
• But we’re in this together, as partners. I need your help in making a successful US program and a successful Fermilab for our future. The two are inextricably linked.

What this requiresWhat this requires
• A clear and compelling message from the laboratory community– What science should we pursue and why it’s the most
exciting thing in the universe– What tools are necessary to advance this great
adventure• NOT an alphabet soup of facilities• NOT a facility in every pot• NEED a simple unifying science case.• The tools (facilities) should follow from the science
• While intensive discussion is good – even necessary – in determining the best scientific program, incessant bickering can be damaging to our health. – Don’t kid yourselves. The outside world hears about the
bickering.

The DOE HEP program in FY The DOE HEP program in FY 20062006
• Overall HEP budget and priorities in FY 2006:
– Tevatron and B-factory will be fully supported– LHC preparations will be fully supported– Core research program at the universities and
laboratories will be maintained– Investment for near and long term new initiatives
(including neutrinos and ILC R&D) will be increased
• Any new initiatives will have to come from re-direction

FY 2006 Request is 3.9% below FY 2005 Appropriation The budget forces us to make tough choices.

The World HEP ProgramThe World HEP Program
Over the next decade the world program will become increasingly focused on
• The Energy Frontier– Discover and then explore a world of TeV scale new physics
• Tevatron LHC ILC
• The “other 95% of the universe”– Dark matter
• direct detection; production at accelerators?– Dark energy
• how to learn more?
• Neutrinos– Neutrinos are different: what is this telling us?
• Masses – do not come from Higgs?• Majorana nature – neutrino-antineutrino mixing?• CP violation – origin of matter?

Intermediate scale projectsIntermediate scale projects
• The current U.S. accelerator-based program is world-leading, but finite in lifetime– PEP-II and the Tevatron will ramp down toward the end of
the decade; miniBooNE, MINOS also• The Linear Collider is DOE’s highest priority for a future major
facility – but timescale is uncertain and cannot be done without
either an increase in resources or a reduction in cost• LHC participation will be a central piece of the U.S. program
HenceDOE has started planning for a portfolio of medium scale, medium term experiments to be launched in the period 2007-10
• Scientific opportunities are compelling– neutrino physics (APS study); dark matter, dark energy…
• Resources will become available, through redirection

New InitiativesNew Initiatives
• In order to inform the Department of our intent to pursue several new scientific topics, we plan to prepare draft requests for approval of “CD-0” (Statement of Mission Need), including
• A generic reactor-based neutrino experiment to measure 13
• A generic off-axis accelerator-based neutrino experiment for 13 and to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy
• A generic high intensity neutrino beam facility for neutrino CP-violation experiments
• A generic neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment to probe the Majorana nature of neutrinos
• A generic underground experiment to search for direct evidence of dark matter
• A generic ground-based dark energy experiment
• In order to be ready to move forward expeditiously, this will be done in parallel with an advisory process selecting the best options

• Have we really discovered the Higgs – Is it a scalar particle?– Does it couple to mass?
• Have we really discovered supersymmetry?– Same coupling, different
spin?
• Have we really discovered dark matter?– Does it have the right
properties?

Conclusion:Conclusion:Three big goals for us all Three big goals for us all
• Make ongoing program (Tevatron, NuMI/MINOS, LHC etc) a success
• Develop and make real a coherent program of experiments in dark matter, dark energy and neutrinos– Redirection will allow some significant investments– Fermilab infrastructure is a good basis for a phased,
extensible accelerator based neutrino program with international involvement
– Synergies with linear collider work
• Capture the momentum of LHC discoveries and then use it to build a broad consensus to launch the ILC

What next for Fermilab?What next for Fermilab?
• We look forward to working with Fermilab to develop a strong future for the laboratory as well as for the overall high energy physics program.
• The laboratory’s own Long Range Plan laid out a broad and exciting program for the next decade, centered on the International Linear Collider, significant new initiatives in neutrino physics, the LHC physics center, and particle astrophysics and underground experiments.
• We are committed to maintaining Fermilab as one of the world’s leading scientific facilities.
