## NSF Budget by Directorate 

**Notes:**
Tony’s slide.   No changes.

## Slide 9

**Notes:**
Removed subtitle in heading.
Reason:  We are worried about the presence of CHESS and CESR as the funding for these is coming to an end.

## MREFC Account

- NSF FY 2007 Budget

**Notes:**
There are many acronyms here that the audience may or may not know in the MREFC domain.

They will know Ice Cube  and Advanced LIGO.  But for the others...

ALMA:  Atacama Large Millimeter Array
SODV:  Scientific Ocean Drilling Vessel
SPSM:  South Pole Station Modernization
NEON:  National Ecological Observatory Network

ARRV: Alaska Region Research Vessel

**Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)**
**Square Kilometer Array (SKA)**

**Notes:**
We removed the figure for the light source and replaced it with the Deep Science Brochure cover.   This will emphasize DUSEL, for which there was no figure in previous version of the presentation.

We also removed the light source from the text block in yellow at the left.

## Exciting Time for EPP

## Particle Physics Funding History

**Notes:**
Funding history for Elementary Particle Physics over the last four years.  Expectation is that EPP would share in NSF/MPS/PHY increases in the outyears.

For FY07, the significant increase in “Total” over FY06 is driven mainly by:
	LHC Ops ($4.63M increase)
	DUSEL ($8M increase)
	Theory ($0.98 increase)

For reference, the funding for experimental groups working at the Tevatron collider experiments and  accelerator-based neutrino experiments is summarized in the “EPP Univ” line, and is $19.45M for FY07.  This support has been essentially flat-flat over the last four years.

NSF support for ILC R&D (Accelerator and Detector) is summarized in the “ILC” line, and is currently at $1.44M for FY07.

The Accelerator Other category is for Accelerator R&D and also for support of 

## Partnerships

- Cyberscience
- DISUN/Tier 2c     (with OCI)
- UltraLight     (with OCI)
- Trillium and OSG     (with OCI and DOE)
- Education with research
- QuarkNet     (with OMA, EHR and DOE/HEP)
- CHEPREO  (with OMA, OCI, EHR, OISE)
- I2U2     (with OMA, EHR)
- Mariachi     (OCI funded)
- CyberBridges     (OCI funded)

**Notes:**
Partnerships have several important features. 
It provides broader impacts of EPP research.
It engages new communities with our research and engages us in their programs and efforts.
It provides value added to the EPP program in terms of support and impact.

Acronyms:
DISUN/Tier 2c – Tier 2 computing built around several university sites (San Diego, CalTech, Wisconsin, Florida) with “a twist”.  Has broader impacts to other research communities as well as EPP.
Ultralight – High speed networking worldwide.
Trillium and OSG – Trillium is an Information Technology Research effort and Open Science Grid is its outgrowth.  Grid computing driven by EPP needs, but with broader mission to reach and embrace the sciences.
QuarkNet – Now in 9th year.  National program created by the high energy physics community.  52 centers around the country in 25 states and Puerto Rico.
	QuarkNet is jointly supported by NSF and DOE.
I2U2 – A new program engaging the broader sciences, formal and informal education and Grid computing.
Mariachi – A program to study Radio Imaging of Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Cyberbridges – Research program designed to bridge research sciences and computer sciences in graduate research.  International in reach to South America and China.

## NSF Partnership with DOE

- NSF is committed to close partnership with DOE on several fronts on EPP:
- LHC (construction of detectors, NSF supporting science on ATLAS, CMS, PHY $18M/yr + OCI $1M/yr)
- DUSEL (NSF steward; DOE supports R&D)
- ILC (DOE steward; NSF & DOE on FALC and R&D; NSF $1.44M in FY07)

**Notes:**
Modifications here to remove question marks in Tony’s original draft presentation.

We added support values where appropriate from the NSF side.  We make know such assumption for DOE in the DUSEL line.

## NSF/DOE Partnership Example

- ILC Accelerator R&D at Cornell
- Recent SRF Cavity Development

- Cornell,  in collaboration with KEK, has
- reached a new world record accelerating field in a single cell superconducting niobium  cavity :  Eacc = 57 - 59 MV/m.

**Notes:**
New Slide.  Added to illustrate partnership between NSF and DOE – in this case on the issue of development of high field Superconduction RF cavities.

Picture on the left shows the cavity which has set the high-field record.

## NSF/DOE Partnership Example

- QuarkNet

- _Currently_:  53 Centers in 25 States & Puerto Rico
- _Active research participants_:
- 500 High School Teachers
- 100 High School Students
- 150 Physicist Mentors
- _Coverage_: 12 Major Expts + GRID

- Immersive research experiences for HS Teachers and Students

**Notes:**
QuarkNet is a program of national, and recently international, impact.  Partners HS teachers with Particle Physicist Mentors in immersive research experiences.

High School student researchers are also participating in the program.

Program is now in its 9th year.   Program emphases include:
Teacher and Student research on forefront experiments.
Classroom  research through experiments called “e-Labs” including Grid enabled cosmic ray air shower arrays, LHC data from test beams and simulations, and more.
Data for e-labs can be shared via the Grid.
Forms a national research, teaching and learning community.
QuarkNet has spawned new outreach projects which are now funded and ongoing.

The PI of QuarkNet is Marjorie Bardeen, Director of the Fermilab Education Office.

## Messages to “take away”

- NSF is and expects to remain a strong supporter of the Fermilab experimental program and its broader impacts.
- NSF has a successful history of partnerships with DOE/OHEP
- LHC: Detector Construction and LHC Operations
- Pierre Auger, KamLAND, CDMS, Veritas,...
- QuarkNet
- NSF vision of partnerships for the Future
- ILC:  DOE is lead, with NSF in supporting role
- DUSEL:  NSF is lead, with DOE in supporting role

**Notes:**
These are main messages noted in our conversation with Tony at last Friday’s meeting.

## MPS Facilities in Development & Under Construction

*Facilities under Construction:*
- ALMA: new baseline, early operations increases to $8.2M.
- IceCube: operations initiated at $1.5M level
- Advanced LIGO: construction begins FY 2008.
- LHC (+DOE): coming online soon, delay?
*Design and Development:*
- DUSEL: will begin formally in FY 2008, $8.0M, building on previous Discovery Research. Just concluded S3 reverse site visit.
- GSMT (TMT + GMT): $5M R&D.
- ATST: In “readiness” stage. Cultural & EIS challenges.
*Other Projects:*
- Light source: planning to convene panel on NSF role.
- LHC Experiment Upgrades
- ILC: Cost? When?

**Notes:**
Added LHC Experiment Upgrades

There is an ambiguity between this slide and one following on how much is going to DUSEL in FY08.   Here is says $6M.   The later table shows $8M.  Need to reconcile.
