Partnerships• Cyberscience
– DISUN/Tier 2c (with OCI)
– UltraLight (with OCI)
– Trillium and OSG (with OCI and DOE)
• Education with research– QuarkNet (with OMA, EHR and DOE/HEP)
– CHEPREO (with OMA, OCI, EHR, OISE)
– I2U2 (with OMA, EHR)
– Mariachi (OCI funded)

NSF Partnership with DOE
• NSF is committed to close partnership with DOE on several fronts on EPP:– LHC (construction of detectors, NSF supporting
science on ATLAS, CMS, PHY $18M/yr + OCI $1M/yr)
– DUSEL (NSF steward; DOE supports R&D)– ILC (DOE steward; NSF & DOE on FALC and R&D;
NSF $1.44M in FY07)
T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting 19
NSF/DOE Partnership Example
• ILC Accelerator R&D at Cornell– Recent SRF Cavity Development
Cornell, in collaboration with KEK, hasreached a new world record accelerating field in a single cell superconducting niobium cavity : Eacc = 57 - 59 MV/m.
T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting 20
NSF/DOE Partnership Example
• QuarkNet Currently: 53 Centers in 25 States & Puerto Rico
Active research participants:
500 High School Teachers
100 High School Students
150 Physicist Mentors
Coverage: 12 Major Expts + GRID
Immersive research experiences for HS Teachers and Students
T. Chan, NSF 40th Fermilab Users Meeting 21
Messages to “take away”– NSF is and expects to remain a strong supporter of
the Fermilab experimental program and its broader impacts.
– NSF has a successful history of partnerships with DOE/OHEP
• LHC: Detector Construction and LHC Operations• Pierre Auger, KamLAND, CDMS, Veritas,…• QuarkNet
– NSF vision of partnerships for the Future• ILC: DOE is lead, with NSF in supporting role• DUSEL: NSF is lead, with DOE in supporting role
