David HitlinDOE Annual Program Review
June 29, 2009
Overviewof the
Caltech HEP Program
David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 2
The Caltech HEP Program
This is the final year of the three year grant cycle The Caltech program has vigorous theory groups (Tasks A, B)
These groups receive major support from CaltechHEP phenomenology and string theory –
Gukov, Kapustin, Ooguri, Preskill, Schwarz, WiseParticle astrophysics – Carroll, Hirata, Kamionkowski
Our major experimental activities (Tasks C, D, E) areElectrons: ILC GDE, BABAR, SuperB – Barish, Hitlin, PorterProtons: MINOS, Noa, CMS – Newman, SpiropuluNon-accelerator: CDMS & SuperCDMS - Golwala
We are proposing creation of a new infrastructure task for Detector Development
Our main concerns for FY09 areRamping up support for Maria Spiropulu and the CMS effortCreation of an advanced crystal development laboratory Inflation adjustment

Experimental Groups – Proton Campaign
Harvey NewmanMaria Spiropulu
CMS line Includes $150K added in FY09 for Maria Spiropulu plus an additional $175K described in the proposal textAlso moves salary (including benefits and overhead) associated with proposed Task F to that task
David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 6
Experimental Groups – Electron Campaign
David HitlinFrank PorterBarry Barish
Moves salary (including benefits and overhead) associated with proposed Task F to that task
David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 7
Experimental Groups – Non-accelerator campaign
Sunil Golwala
Requests redirection of Task E towards SuperCDMS work and an increment of$71K/year, as described inthe text
David Hitlin DOE Annual Review June 29, 2009 8
Experimental Groups – Detector Development
Ren-yuan Zhu
New taskNote that $231K of theproposed $450K representssalary (including benefitsand indirects) moved fromTask C to Task F

Computing
Our computing model is predicated on an adiabatic replacement cycle Non-CMS computing remains important for the
BABAR Intense Analysis phase and for MINOS and SuperB By replacing a fraction of farm CPU’s each year, we have avoided the
need for massive reworking of the system To stave off obsolescence, this approach requires us to replace ~1/4 to
1/3 of computing capacity and storage each year In FY08 computing equipment funding fell far off this curve In FY09 we fell further off the curve

Summary The Caltech program remains strong, with a good mix of experimental
opportunities and a powerful theory group We continue to play leadership roles in present and future experiments
BABAR/SuperB, MINOS/Noa, CMS, SuperCDMS GDE for the ILC – separately funded
In accord with the P5 report, we are looking in new directions Particle astrophysics – SuperCDMS (Golwala) Next generation neutrino physics – Noa (Newman) Next generation flavor physics - SuperB (Hitlin, Porter) LHC upgrades (Newman, Spiropulu) A future lepton collider
We a actively engaged with the Division Staffing Committee, pointing towards a new junior faculty appointment
