New vs. Old NSAC

• My goal is to make the new NSAC look like the
  old NSAC
• The role of NSAC is unchanged provide guidance
  to DOE and NSF when asked
• One change takes 6 months to approve new
  members so cannot quickly replace someone

NSAC Information

• web site

• Includes links to membership, charter, on-going
  activities, reports, meeting agendas and minutes.

Meeting on March 2-3, 2006
Agenda

• Reports on FY07 budget submission for DOE and NSF
• Report submitted from NuSAG on accelerator and
  reactor n-oscillation experiments
• Science updates from user labs (ATLAS, BNL,
  HRIBF, JLAB and NSCL)
• New charge to NuSAG
• Discussion of possible future charges

Funding Information(implications for NSAC)
Federal funding split Department of Energy
90 National Science Foundation 10 Some
details from FY06 and FY07

Budgets for FY06

• Department of Energy (due to late change)
• 367 M after 1 rescission
• 34 M below FY05 (actual )
• Out year guidance flat or reduced budgets
• Led to NSAC subcommittee report last year
• National Science Foundation

What is the Future of U.S. Science?

• Calls in Congress to double the NSF and DOE
  Science budgets (68/100 Senators signed a letter
  in 06 calling for major increases in DOE
  funding) yet funding for physical science has
  been decreasing as in Presidents agenda
• Many reports generated about U.S. science
• New study by NAS just released
• Rising Above the Gathering Storm Energizing and
  Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future
• This has had an impact!

Budgets for FY07

• Department of Energy and National Science
  Foundation to benefit from

Next meeting July 21, 2006

• Expect to receive two charges
• Call for a new Long Range Plan
• Request for a Committee of Visitors for DOE
• LRP issues now being addressed
• Budget provided for LRP guidance is
• crucial to the report produced by NSAC

17
Long Range Plan IssuesProgram Balance

• Physics of Nuclei and Astrophysics
• traditional nuclear structure
• nuclear astrophysics
• Quantum Chromodynamics
• encompasses much of RHIC and CEBAF
• Fundamental Symmetries and Neutrinos
• neutron physics at NIST and SNS (EDM)
• double beta decay
• solar and reactor neutrino experiments

18
Long Range Plan IssuesFacilities

• Budget Guidance in charge letter critical
• Status of JLAB upgrade (FY07 budget)
• RHIC II upgrade
• From RIA to ???
• Longer term electron-ion collider?

19
Long Range Plan IssuesConnections

• Consider program in international context
• Likely to call on some of you for help and
• information about European programs
