HEP: Future DirectionsHEP: Future Directions

• Possible Experimental Faculty Expansion:– Expert in Silicon Detector Development

• Greatly enhance cross-disciplinary efforts in Department– especially connections with Astro-Particle efforts (LSST, etc.)

• Important ingredient for LHC upgrades– Experimentalist with focus on Neutrino Physics

• Enhance efforts in this under-represented area• Closer ties with expanding Fermilab program

– Expert in Large-Scale Research Computing• Crucial ingredient for “modern” experiments• Closer ties with campus/regional computing efforts, resources

• Follow opportunities: e.g. an ILC at Fermilab could motivate group expansion to take advantage of new local world-class facility

• Possible Directions for Theory Faculty Expansion:– Astroparticle Theory

• Closer ties with Astrophysics, Nuclear Astrophysics• potential contribution to “Origins” center

– String Theory Phenomenology• Complementary to current efforts, broaden focus• Closer ties with Mathematics
