Shapiro report presentation•You can find a videostrezaming of H.Shapior presentation of the EPP2010report during a SLUO meeting on May 5 atSLAC•http://today.slac.stanford.edu/a/2006/05-05.htm•Very interesting 50-minutes talk Guy Wormser , HEPP EPS board, May 192006 7 Strategic Principles•Particle physics is key priority within the physicalsciences•US HEP program should be committed toleadership within the global HEP enterprise•Increase level of international planning•To achieve Obj 2, long term vision, clear set ofpriorities, risk taking, joint ventures, flexibility andresiliency, consistent budget, diverse portfolio•10 to 15 year budget planning•Strong Fermilab as a key role in US HEP•National standing program committee Guy Wormser , HEPP EPS board, May 192006 Alternative Scenarios•Two scenarios were examined:–The one with major US involment in the ILC–One without : offers the possibility to do manyother thingsThe second one , although less risky, wasrejected on the basis that it would notprovide US with a leadership position Guy Wormser , HEPP EPS board, May 192006 The ordered list of priorities•1) Full realization of LHC experimental program•2) The US should launch a major program of R&D, design andindustrialization, management, financing studies of ILC acceleratorsand detectors•3) US should announce its strong intent to become the host countryfor the ILC and should undertake the necessary work to provide aviable site and mount a compelling bid•4) promote projects at the interface between particlephysics,astrophysics and cosmology•5) Determine properties of neutrino through a well coordinated,staged program of experiments developed with internationalplanning and cooperation•6) US participation to large scale high precision experiments shouldcontinue but the level of support will be very sensitiveto the overallbudget picture…partivciaption in smlall scale, high precisionmeasurements should be encouraged in any budget scenario. Guy Wormser , HEPP EPS board, May 192006 Some quotes from EPP2010 report•Whether particle physics was worth pursuing was not obvious fromthe start,not an easy matter•Most sobering comment : present state of US particle physics , dangerousmoment, looks like an exit strategy if no new initiative•Not thought about ACI•Giant elephant a priori skepticism•Leadership role ina global programme•Many risks involved with the proposed strategy but worthwhile to take!–LHC results non conclusive–Not enough international support–US finally not ready to commit at the end•Enough money for priorituies 2,3,4 (600 M$ over 5 years)•Special role for Fermilab : assume leadership: do not let Fermilab work onsecond class projects•Key time for action: question of months!•Make sure the bid is compelling•Report transmitted to DoE secretary , well received Guy Wormser , HEPP EPS board, May 192006 Some suggestions•The ACI and EPP2010 main conclusions should be vigorouslyspread everywhere in Europe:–Science is important for society (old message already known)– Within science, physics must be pushed now (new message from ACI)– Within physics, HEP is a key priority (new message from EPP2010)–Within HEP, the US priority is preparation for an ILC bid as a global jointventure (new for EPP2010)•Use this HEPAP membership as a two-way channel forcommunication–Report to ECFA–Zeuthen report to HEPAP?•Offer reciprocity wrt participation to European committees (US hasone european member with full rights on all its HEP committees:HEPAP, P5, EPP2010,..)
