## DOE Office of Science Announces 20-Year Facilities Outlook

- SC facilities used by more than 18,000 users world-wide.
- A list of 28 world-class facilities and upgrades that will ensure U.S. scientific pre-eminence for the next two decades.
- Sets priorities across disciplines and fields of research.
- Complements interests of other U.S. science agencies (e.g., NASA, NSF, NIH.)

*Throughout its history, the DOE’s Office of Science has designed, constructed, and operated many of the Nation’s most advanced, large-scale R&D user facilities. *

## The Prioritization Process

- Asked Associate Directors to develop initial lists – resulted in 46 facilities
- Asked Advisory Committees to add/subtract (list grew to 53) and assess all according to two criteria:
- Importance of the science
- Readiness for construction
- Used “Biggert” authorization as optimistic, arbitrary funding envelope
- R. Orbach prioritized according to importance of science and relevance to DOE mission, based on Advisory Committee assessments and consultation with Associate Directors, and fit facilities under envelope
- Twenty-eight of fifty-three facilities made the cut

## The Prioritized List

## The Near-term Facilities

- ITER is an international collaboration to build the first fusion science experiment capable of producing a self-sustaining fusion reaction, called a “burning plasma.” It is the next essential and critical step that will demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy.
- The UltraScale Scientific Computing Capability, located at multiple sites, will increase by a factor of 100 the computing capability available to support open (as opposed to classified) scientific research—reducing the time required to simulate complex systems, such as the earth’s climate or the chemistry of a combustion engine, from years to days and providing much finer resolution.
- Joint Dark Energy Mission is a space-based probe, developed in partnership with NASA, designed to help understand the recently discovered mysterious “dark energy” which makes up more than 70% of the universe, and is believed to be responsible for its accelerating expansion.
- The Linac Coherent Light Source will provide laser-like radiation 10 billion times greater in power and brightness than any existing x-ray light source, enabling the study of matter and chemical reactions at speeds and levels of detail well beyond what is currently possible.
- The Protein Production and Tags facility will use highly automated processes to mass-produce and characterize tens of thousands of proteins per year, create “tags” to identify these proteins, and make these products available to researchers nation-wide.
- The Rare Isotope Accelerator will be the world’s most powerful research facility dedicated to producing and exploring new rare isotopes that are not found naturally on earth.

## The Near-term Facilities (cont.)

- Characterization and Imaging of Molecular Machines facility will build on capabilities provided by the Protein Production and Tags facility to provide researchers with the ability to isolate, characterize, and create images of the thousands of molecular machines that perform essential functions inside a cell.
- The upgrade to the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Thomas Jefferson Laboratory is a cost-effective way to double the power of the existing beam, providing the capability to study the structure of protons and neutrons in the atom with much greater precision than is currently possible.
- The ESnet upgrade will enhance the network services available to support SC researchers and laboratories, maintaining their access to all major DOE research facilities and computing resources, as well as fast interconnections to more than 100 other networks.
- This upgrade will ensure that NERSC, DOE’s premier scientific computing facility for unclassified research, continues to provide high-performance computing resources to support the requirements for scientific discovery.
- The Transmission Electron Achromatic Microscope will be the first of a new generation of electron microscopes that, by correcting for distortions in focus inherent to all electron microscopes built to-date, will give much clearer images and allow the use of much larger experimental chambers.
- BTeV (“B physics at the TeVatron”) is an experiment designed to use the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (currently the world’s most powerful accelerator) to make very precise measurements of several aspects of fundamental particle behavior that may help explain why so little antimatter exists in the universe.
