-  Personnel in the Program
-  LANL Leadership Roles
-  Physics and Budgets for the next five years

- 5/10/2006

## Personnel and Outreach

- Main Personnel:  Mike Leitch, Ming Liu, Pat McGaughey, Sergey Butsyk (PD)
- Others: Melynda Brooks, Dave Lee, Hubert vanHecke, Paul Constantin (PD), Carlos Comacho (PD), Anuj Purwar (PD), Ivan Vitev (Oppenheimer PD)

- Experimental Visitor Program: Hosted ~one dozen students, post-docs and staff for long-term visits to Los Alamos to work on data analyses
- Visiting Theorists Program, Seminar Program: hosted theorists for long-term visits to LANL and active seminar program coupled with follow-up discussions within the group

## Strategy for Staffing and Effort

- LANL leading major new effort for FVTX upgrade to PHENIX
-  we cannot shut down our physics efforts while we do this
-  need to maintain strong physics while building FVTX
- New opportunities with E906/FNAL or JPARC
-  difficult to make substantial contribution here without staff increase given heavy PHENIX involvement
-  Need to add a new physicist!
- Natural attrition likely means some staff leaving over the next few years –  need replacement(s)

## LANL Spin & Cold Nuclear Matter Program

| Year | FY06 | FY07 | FY08 | FY09 | FY10 | FY11 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | presidents | proposed | proposed | proposed | Proposed |
| KB01 | $896k | $1100k | $1210k | $1331k | $1464k | $1611k |
| FTE | 1.9+1PD | 2.4+1.5PD | 2.6+1.6PD | 2.7+1.7PD | 2.8+1.8PD | 3+2PD |
| CNM | good |  |  |  |  |  |
| Spin | good for beginning | better | fully engaged |  |  |  |
| FVTX | Major new effort |  | add
const. $ | cont
const. $ |  |  |
| E906/JPARC | proposal |  | limited part. |  |  |  |
| LHC pA? | interest |  |  |  |  |  |

- Resource Distribution & Comments – FY07-FY11

-  adding staff allows strong physics during FVTX construction & hopefully E906/JPARC involvement (try for new LDRD to help start the latter?)
-  FVTX LDRD ends after FY08; staff migration onto base funding
-  difficult to see how LHC pA can be pursued; especially if E906/JPARC goes ahead

- (for President’s budget + 10%/yr increases – LANL request)

## Spin & Cold Nuclear Matter Program 

- Spin & Cold Nuclear Matter Program
- Research Goals, FY06 and beyond

- Gluon contribution to the nucleon spin
-  double-spin asymmetry for heavy-quarks & onia with muons
- Single spin asymmetry measurements of forward hadrons, charm, beauty and quarkonia
- Contribution of the nucleon’s sea quarks to its spin (W’s)
- Cold nuclear matter effects with quarkonia
- Charm and beauty via single muons
- RHIC-II to enable rarest probes
- Much of RHIC program strengthened by FVTX upgrade
- dbar/ubar & quark energy loss via Drell-Yan process at E906/FNAL or JPARC
- pA program at the LHC?

- (for President’s budget + 10%/yr increases – LANL request)

- Starting with equal CNM & spin; evolve to strengthen spin and then add E906/JPARC; and maintain physics while building FVTX
