DOE failed in attempt to secure additional funds revert to previous plan to close the Tevatron at the end of FY11; big transitionP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 20113TevatronCollect data in FY11 as previously planned; outstanding performance

Formidable data sample: continue the analysis for three to four years; many physics results yet to come

Decommission: secure the facility

Phase 1: historical displayPhase 2: total decommissioningP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 20114Future program: at the three frontiersP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 20115

Frontiers of particle physicsQuestion: Why have we not seen all the particle physics phenomena yet?

The phenomena involve objects that are hard to make (e.g. black holes, heavy gluinos) The phenomena involve interactions that are fundamentally weak thus very rareThe phenomena involve interactions that are very short range thus very rare

In case #1, proceed to Energy or Cosmic Frontiers

In cases #2 and #3, we can use high intensities to observe rare phenomenaP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 20116P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 20117

Gaps and roles: energy frontierNext two decades: dominated by LHC. Upgrades to machine and detectors

Biggest gap: what follows the LHC? Depends on results and at what energy results occur

Fermilab strategy: completion of the Tevatron program, physics exploitation and upgrades of LHC. R&D on future machines: ILC if at low energy; muon collider if at high energy; new high field magnets for extension of LHC or future proton colliders at ultra-LHC energies P.

Gaps and roles: cosmic frontierThe principal connection to particle physics: the nature of dark matter and dark energy

Gap in the direct search for dark matter: get to zerobackground technology. Gap in understanding dark energy is establishment of time evolution of the acceleration: new major telescopes (ground and space)

Fermilab strategy: establish scalable zero-background technology for dark matter. Participate in future ground and space telescopes (the principal agencies are NSF and NASA, not DOE) P.

Gaps and roles: intensity frontierTwo principal approaches: 1) proton super-beams to study neutrinos and rare decays and 2) quark factories: in e+e- and LHCb

Principal gap is the understanding of neutrinos and the observation of rare decays coupled to new physics processes

Fermilab strategy: develop the most powerful set of facilities in the world for the study of neutrinos and rare processes, way beyond the present state of the art. Complementary to LHC and with discovery potential beyond LHC. DOE has the central role. P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201113Roles: intensity frontierP.

Implementing the long term visionThe most important foundation is to commit to building the most intense and flexible source. The foundation CANNOT be the present front end of Fermilab that is 40 years old

Present existing and proposed sources elsewhere are pulsed linacs and synchrotrons, both with fundamental limitations for a comprehensive program at the intensity frontier

Project X would be the dominant facility in the world with a very broad program

P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201115Implementing the visionLBNE is a key experiment in the neutrino area and already engages a very broad collaboration

It can start with the 700kw beam developed for NOvA (facilities have to be built towards the DUSEL direction)

It would ultimately deliver over 2000kW in the Project X era

P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201116Project X Reference DesignP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201117

Project X SitingP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201118

Project X Capabilities> 2 MW delivered to a neutrino target at any energy between 60 120 GeVSimultaneous delivery of ~3 MW of high duty factor beam power to the 3 GeV programVariable beam formats to multiple usersCW beam at time scales >1 msec10% duty factor on time scales < 1 msecPotential for development of additional programs at:1 GeV for nuclear energy experimentation8 GeV for neutrino or muon experimentation

P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201119Project X is central to the strategyUnique facility for rare decays: a continuous wave (CW), very high power, superconducting 3 GeV linac. Will not exist anywhere else

CW linac greatly enhances the capability for rare decays of kaons, muons

CW linac is the ideal machine for other uses: Standard Model tests with nuclei (ISOL targets), possible energy and transmutation applications, cold neutronsP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201120Project X is central to the strategyCoupled to an 8 GeV pulsed LINAC and to the Recycler and Main Injector, gives the most intense beams of neutrinos at high energy (LBNE) and low energy (for the successors to Mini and MicroBooNE)

Makes use of modern accelerators at Fermilab (Recycler and Main Injector) and its scope would be difficult to reproduce elsewhere without this established base

Eliminates proton economics as the major limitation: all experiments run simultaneouslyP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201121Project X and other projects Project X benefits from the word-wide ILC R&D: SCRF and photo-e cloud. SCRF R&D positions the US to play a leading role in ILC.

Capabilities and infrastructure developed for Project X will be useful for other domestic non HEP projects.

Project X with upgrades can be the front end of a neutrino factory or a muon collider, opening paths for development of the intensity frontier and a road back to the energy frontier

With Project XSummary: the advantages of DUSELIdeal distance from Fermilab for the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (1300 km). Will benefit by future upgrades of the Fermilab accelerators (Project X)

Proven competent rock for large facilities at 4850 ft. depth; possibility of expansion to 7400 ft. level, the deepest in the world

Large endowment (relative to other sites) in completed studies, permits, infrastructure, state support and ability to move quicklyP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201137Summary: restoring DUSELFailure to secure interim funding for the Berkeley and Homestake teams endangers the projects.

We are working very hard with DOE, NSF and beyond to restructure DUSEL so that it can be supported by both agencies. DOE is willing to help going forward both through OHEP and ONPP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201138Workforce in transitionClosure of a major facility at Fermilab: roughly 20% of the activities over a period of three to four years

Largely attenuated by corresponding increase in funding for new projects

But not completely, however. We need to match workforce to the tasks in front of us and we need to live within budgets in FY11 and FY12. Budgets are not yet definedP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201139Workforce in transitionWhen we proposed extending the Tevatron through 2011 we stated that we needed additional funds to do so. They do not exist in the continuing resolution

We have squeezed everywhere to continue the run, including voluntary separation earlier in the year

We do not know where the budget will settle in FY11: pending action by CongressP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201140Workforce in transitionWe also do not know what the Presidents budget contains for Office of Science for FY12. There was a previous commitment to double science in ten years. The commitment may not survive the present budget climate.

When we know the FY11 real budget and the FY12 proposed budget we will be able to plan what exactly happens in the transitionP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201141Workforce in transitionAs an example, at the present level of the CR, some hundred jobs could be affected. This can be attenuated or increased depending on budget actions by the Administration and Congress

Reductions would not fall only on the folks working at the Tevatron. We will optimize the workforce across the lab for the future missions of the laboratory. I have created a new task force to make the best match possible.P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201142Workforce in transitionP. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201143

Fermilab moves forwardWorld-class program ahead for us, with potentially huge impact at the three frontiers

We have attenuated the impact from closing the Tevatron as much as possible and will continue to try to do so

You have my commitment to do everything possible to keep Fermilab as the great institution that it is despite the difficult navigation ahead of us P. Oddone, All-hands meeting, January 19, 201146
