Organisation Issues

• Fermi Research Alliance was awarded the contract
  to operate Fermilab for 5 years with possibility
  of up to 20 years, if performance is good.
• FRA is partnership between U. Chicago and URA.
• FRA Board of directors, Chair is Bob Zimmer,
  President of U. Chicago.
• Board has 7 URA regional representatives
• Physics Sub-committee still exists and they
  organize a Physics Visiting Committee review.

Organisation Issues

• FY2008 Budget As last year there is a Continuing
  Resolution, so the year starts as a continuation
  of last year, No new starts, no increases for
  projects on the rise.
• Divisions and Sections had a preview in July but
  we have not distributed a strawman budget, nor
  heard responses.
• In DOE OHEP, Robin Staffin has moved on to be an
  advisor to Ray Orbach, OHEP has Acting Head,
  Dennis Kovar, who was Head of Nuclear Physics for
  many years.
• We are developing a budget briefing for Dennis
  for Wednesday, October 31.

Long Range Planning

• Steering Group
• Chair Deputy Director -Young Kee Kim
• Committee 50/50 Fermilab-Non Fermilab
• Plan US Accelerator Based Future supporting ILC
• Report in September 2007
• If ILC decision is delayed
• Build 6 GeV ILC Linac
• 2 GeV LINAC front end
• Feed 8 GeV to Accelerator complex and physics
• Eg gt 2 MW for 120 GeV protons for LBL Neutrino
  Program
• 8 GeV protons for muon and kaon program
• Recommendations are under discussion by everyone
• Accelerator and Physics Workshops in November

2007 Accelerator Shutdown

• Accelerator work appears to have gone well
• Significant work on several of the machines
• Experiments confined efforts to remedial work
• Silicon Readout recoveries
• CDF Silicon Cooling system
• All Experimenters Meeting at 4 pm TODAY Curia

Vulnerability Review

• Director commissioned a review of experiment
  vulnerability
• What can we expect to break?
• With what vulnerability?
• What are appropriate remedial actions?
• Committee
• Chair Dan Green array of detector experts
• Excellent Cooperation from the experiments
• No Show stoppers
• Need to work on preserving corporate knowledge
  and expertise

Future Neutrino Experiments

• MINERvA
• Neutrino Cross Sections
• To be mounted in front of MINOS Near Detector
• RD and construction preparation is well advanced
• Has full completed all CD3 requirements, awaiting
  ESAAB (Nov. 1 ) and start of construction
• NOvA
• Long Baseline, Off Axis from NuMI
• Enormous Far Detector
• Lots of RD and design work complete
• Successfully completed CD2 Baseline review
• Construction start of Road in Minesota in Spring
  2008
• BNL-FNAL Long Baseline Study

16
P5 Committee

• Tevatron Running in 2009 June 2007
• Concerned with
• the continued good progress of integrated
  luminosity
• The understanding of the collaboration manpower
• The understanding of the Laboratory support for
  operations
• Conclusion was clearly positive
• Tevatron Running in 2010 September 2007
• Wanted to see physics progress
• Understand opportunity cost
• Anticipated nothing new on effort front

Tevatron Luminosity Delivery for Run II
FY10 start
Real data for FY02-FY07
FY09 and FY10 integrated luminosities assumed to
be identical
FY08 start

Criteria for Tevatron Runningin FY 2010

• Pier Oddone
• September 24, 2007

19
Criteria for running in 2010

• Important Physics
• Viable Collaborations
• Acceptable damage to other programs

20
Important Physics

• We explore uniquely a large variety of physics at
  the energy frontier until LHC detectors overtake
  us
• Sensitivity to 160 GeV Higgs at 95 CL, opens in
  the next year
• Low mass Higgs (Standard or lowest lying MSSM
  Higgs below 150 GeV) is hard to reach early with
  the LHC

26
Important Physics

• From first collisions at the LHC in Summer 2008
  and closure of Tevatron September 2009 is too
  short for LHC detectors to wipe CDF/D0 out
• Any delay in putting the hardware together no
  float now
• Delay in first beam to collisions only three
  months now
• Natural time to accumulate luminosity
• Debugging detector and software
• Physics analysis

27
Viable Collaborations

• The collaborations should be viable through
  FY2009
• To ensure collaborations are viable in FY2010, we
  need to start working now to make sure there are
  enough students/post-docs and know how
• Early results from LHC could negatively impact
  the collaborations in 2010 if most folks were to
  decamp Should we be so lucky!!

28
Viable Collaborations

• Conversely, if there are delays in getting
  results from LHC, the Tevatron remains exciting,
  producing physics for students/postdocs/faculty
• In the middle, there could be a horse race to the
  Higgs
• To keep collaborations viable need agency support
  of University groups for work at the Tevatron
  beyond 2010

29
Acceptable damage

• Running in 2010 delays slightly 700kW neutrino
  beam capability
• Running in 2010 has modest impact on NOvA
  start-up (presently shut-down starts late 2010
  physics run June 2011)
• Requires additional resources not to slow down
  the ILC RD, Project X, or neutrino program
  approximately 30M

30
Conclusion

• We believe strongly that DOE should plan to run
  through FY2010
• An early recommendation by P5 would help the
  planning effort for the lab and collaborations.

31
Conclusions for IFC

• 2007 has been a very active year for Fermilab on
  every front.
• Accelerator and Detector Operations in 2007 were
  great
• Physics Output from Tevatron Collider is
  phenomenal
• Shutdown work was successfully accomplished
• Accelerator Complex is starting up
• With P5 we have
• Recommendation for 2009 running
• Proposed running Tevatron in 2010 decision in
  2008.
• Looking forward to a productive 2007
