Jeopardy

• Previous policy (6 GeV era):The laboratory has a three-year Jeopardy Rule that was devised both to reduce the beamtime backlog and to ensure that the ratings of all approved experiments continue to accurately reflect their scientific priority. Jeopardy begins three years after a proposal is approved. Previously approved experiments that have not yet been run or scheduled must return to the PAC for a review of their status.

• Will begin the process of “Jeopardy” in the next few years

• Have requested input from JLab Users on the process

10January 2016

Efforts are being made to update the PAC submission page

• Some highlights of the new submission page are– A dropdown box allowing you to select the proposal

type, Proposal, Letter of Intent, Run group proposal etc.

– The new system will allow more than one person to update the document, providing alerts as to the completion status to both participants

– An email confirmation upon completion

• Noteworthy changes– You will be prompted to complete each entry on the coversheets

or input “ Not applicable” Please note that inputting N/A implies that there will be no follow up request to the lab. An incomplete cover page will result in the proposal being rejected.

– An author list is required for each proposal. The list can be uploaded using a CSV file format only

(RE note: looking into this, any format may work as long as it is in the form first name, last name, institution, with clear indication who is the contact person and who are the spokespersons)– Assumed resource requirements section to provide any

information regarding the assumed requirements for the resources needed

• Too often we encounter that an experiment was approved assuming “existing equipment” and that later on the proponents come and argue the experiment requires new or costly completely refurbished or updated equipment.

NSAC Long Range Plan 2015Recommendations & Initiatives

16January 2016

Nuclear Science Long-Range Planning• Every 5-7 years the Nuclear Science

community produces a Long-Range Planning (LRP) Document

• Previous versions: 1979, 1983, 1989, 1996, 2002, 2007

• The final document includes a small set of recommendations for the field of Nuclear Science for the next decade

• For instance, 12 GeV construction was the highest recommendation of the 2007 plan.

How does it work:• The Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society organizes

a series of Town Meetings, where the community provides input in the form of presentations and in the form of contributed “White Papers”

• Each Town Meeting produces a set of recommendations and a summary “White Paper”

• The Nuclear Science Advisory Committee, extended to about 60 people into a Long-Range Plan Working Group, then comes together for a week and decides on a final set of recommendations and produces a LRP document

Recommendations - shorthand

1. The progress achieved under the guidance of the 2007 Long Range Plan has reinforced U.S. world leadership in nuclear science. The highest priority in this 2015 Plan is to capitalize on the investments made.

• 12 GeV – unfold quark & gluon structure of hadrons and nuclei• FRIB – understanding of nuclei and their role in the cosmos• Fundamental Symmetries Initiative – physics beyond the SM• RHIC – properties and phases of quark and gluon matter

The ordering of these four bullets follows the priority ordering of the 2007 plan

2. We recommend the timely development and deployment of a U.S.-led ton-scale neutrinoless double beta decay experiment.

3. We recommend a high-energy high-luminosity polarized Electron Ion Collider as the highest priority for new facility construction following the completion of FRIB.

4. We recommend increasing investment in small and mid-scale projects and initiatives that enable forefront research at universities and laboratories.

18January 2016 18

Initiatives - shorthand

A number of specific initiatives are presented in the body of the report to follow. Two initiatives that support the recommendations made above and that will have significant impact on the field of nuclear science are highlighted here.

• To meet the challenges and realize the full scientic potential of current and future experiments requires new investments in theoretical and computational nuclear physics.

• Computational nuclear theory• FRIB theory alliance• Topical Collaboration expansion

• We recommend vigorous detector and accelerator R&D in support of the neutrinoless double beta decay program and the Electron Ion Collider.

Plus important sentences on workforce, education and outreach.

19January 2016 19

Recommendation IThe progress achieved under the guidance of the 2007 Long Range Plan has reinforced U.S. world leadership in nuclear science. The highest priority in this 2015 Plan is to capitalize on the investments made.

• With the imminent completion of the CEBAF 12-GeV Upgrade, its forefront program of using electrons to unfold the quark and gluon structure of hadrons and nuclei and to probe the Standard Model must be realized.

• Expeditiously completing the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) construction is essential. Initiating its scientific program will revolutionize our understanding of nuclei and their role in the cosmos.

• The targeted program of fundamental symmetries and neutrino research that opens new doors to physics beyond the Standard Model must be sustained.

• The upgraded RHIC facility provides unique capabilities that must be utilized to explore the properties and phases of quark and gluon matter in the high temperatures of the early universe and to explore the spin structure of the proton.

Realizing world-leading nuclear science also requires robust support of experimental and theoretical research at universities and national laboratories and operating our two low-energy national user facilities —ATLAS and NSCL— each with their unique capabilities and scientific instrumentation.

The ordering of these four bullets follows the priority ordering of the 2007 plan.

20January 2016 20

Recommendation IVWe recommend increasing investment in small-scale and mid-scale projects and initiatives that enable forefront research at universities and laboratories. Innovative research and initiatives in instrumentation, computation, and theory play a major role in U.S. leadership in nuclear science and are crucial to capitalize on recent investments. The NSF competitive instrumentation funding mechanisms, such as the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program and the Mathematical & Physical Sciences mid-scale research initiative, are essential to enable university researchers to respond nimbly to opportunities for scientific discovery. Similarly, DOE-supported research and development (R&D) and Major Items of Equipment (MIE) at universities and national laboratories are vital to maximize the potential for discovery as opportunities emerge. These NSF funding mechanisms are an essential component to ensure that NSF-supported scientists have the resources to lead significant initiatives. These programs are competitive across all fields, and an increase in the funds available in these funding mechanisms would benefit all of science, not just nuclear physics. With both funding agencies, small- and mid-scale projects are important elements in increasing the agility of the field to react to new ideas and technological advances. The NP2010 Committee report also made a recommendation addressing this need. With the implementation of projects, there must be a commitment to the increased research funding to support the scientists and students who will build and operate these projects and achieve the science goals. Close collaborations between universities and national laboratories allow nuclear science to reap the benefits of large investments while training the next generation of nuclear scientists to meet societal needs.RE: This is very relevant for NSF/MRI (many success examples in Hall C), for NSF to ramp their mid-scale research initiative, and for DOE/MIEs (MOLLER & SoLID)

Recommendation IIIGluons, the carriers of the strong force, bind the quarks together inside nucleons and nuclei and generate nearly all of the visible mass in the universe. Despite their importance, fundamental questions remain about the role of gluons in nucleons and nuclei. These questions can only be answered with a powerful new Electron Ion Collider (EIC), providing unprecedented precision and versatility. The realization of this instrument is enabled by recent advances in accelerator technology. We recommend a high-energy high-luminosity polarized Electron Ion Collider as the highest priority for new facility construction following the completion of FRIB. The EIC will, for the first time, precisely image gluons in nucleons and nuclei. It will definitively reveal the origin of the nucleon spin and will explore a new Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) frontier of ultra-dense gluon fields, with the potential to discover a new form of gluon matter predicted to be common to all nuclei. This science will be made possible by the EIC’s unique capabilities for collisions of polarized electrons with polarized protons, polarized light ions, and heavy nuclei at high luminosity. The vision of an EIC was already a powerful one in the 2007 Long Range Plan. The case is made even more compelling by discoveries recently made. This facility can lead to the convergence of the present world-leading QCD programs at CEBAF and RHIC in a single facility. This vision for the future was expressed in the 2013 NSAC report on the Implementation of the Long Range Plan with the field growing towards two major facilities, one to study the quarks and gluons in strongly interacting matter and a second, FRIB, primarily to study nuclei in their many forms. Realizing the EIC will keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of nuclear and accelerator science.

Exciting Times Ahead

Recommendation IIThe excess of matter over antimatter in the universe is one of the most compelling mysteries in all of science. The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay in nuclei would immediately demonstrate that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and would have profound implications for our understanding of the matter-antimatter mystery. We recommend the timely development and deployment of a U.S.-led ton-scale neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. A ton-scale instrument designed to search for this as-yet unseen nuclear decay will provide the most powerful test of the particle-antiparticle nature of neutrinos ever performed. With recent experimental breakthroughs pioneered by U.S. physicists and the availability of deep underground laboratories, we are poised to make a major discovery. This recommendation flows out of the targeted investments of the third bullet in Recommendation I. It must be part of a broader program that includes U.S. participation in complementary experimental efforts leveraging international investments together with enhanced theoretical efforts to enable full realization of this opportunity.

29January 2016 29

Initiative A – Theory Initiative

Advances in theory underpin the goal that we truly understand how nuclei and strongly interacting matter in all its forms behave and can predict their behavior in new settings. To meet the challenges and realize the full scientific potential of current and future experiments, we require new investments in theoretical and computational nuclear physics.

• We recommend new investments in computational nuclear theory that exploit the U.S. leadership in high-performance computing. These investments include a timely enhancement of the nuclear physics contribution to the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing program and complementary efforts as well as the deployment of the necessary capacity computing.

• We recommend the establishment of a national FRIB theory alliance. This alliance will enhance the field through the national FRIB theory fellow program and tenure-track bridge positions at universities and national laboratories across the U.S.

• We recommend the expansion of the successful Topical Collaborations initiative to a steady-state level of five Topical Collaborations, each selected by a competitive peer-review process.

30January 2016 30

Initiative B – Detector & Accelerator R&D

U.S. leadership in nuclear physics requires tools and techniques that are state-of-the-art or beyond. Targeted detector and accelerator R&D for the search for neutrinoless double beta decay and for the Electron Ion Collider is critical to ensure that these exciting scientific opportunities can be fully realized. We recommend vigorous detector and accelerator R&D in support of the neutrinoless double beta decay program and the Electron Ion Collider.

31January 2016 31

Our Nation needs a highly trained workforce in nuclear science to pursue research, develop technology, and ensure national security. Meeting this need relies critically on recruiting and educating early career scientists. We recommend that the NSF and DOE take the following steps. • Enhance programs, such as the NSF-supported Research Experience for Undergraduates

(REU) program, the DOE-supported Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI), and the DOE-supported Summer School in Nuclear and Radiochemistry, that introduce undergraduate students to career opportunities in nuclear science.

• Support educational initiatives and advanced summer schools, such as the National Nuclear Physics Summer School, designed to enhance graduate student and postdoctoral instruction.

• Support the creation of a prestigious fellowship program designed to enhance the visibility of outstanding postdoctoral researchers across the field of nuclear science.

Research in theory, experiment, and computation as well as instrumentation initiatives from university groups and laboratories provide a unique education and training environment that must be nurtured.
