The State of the Laboratory

Persis S. DrellDeputy Director, SLAC


An Exciting Time in Particle Physics The Standard Model of quarks and leptons is

fabulously successful It only describes 5% of the Universe

Dark Matter and Dark Energy make up 95% of the Universe New forms of matter and energy outside of current

understanding We don’t understand why the the Universe is matter

dominated (what happened to the anti-matter?) Compelling Questions confront us

Within this decade tools coming on line to make progress in our understanding

Developing tools for discovery in the next decade


A Challenging Time in Particle Physics Premier US HEP accelerators will turn off by the end of the

decade B-Factory (SLAC) 2008 CESR (Cornell) 2008 Tevatron (FNAL) 2009

By end of decade, the frontiers of accelerator based HEP may all be off shore LHC (CERN) JPark (KEK) KEK-B (KEK)

Long term health and future of the field of HEP relies on ILC Excellent progress towards international realization of such a

machine Not a certainty!

As a field we are struggling to balance the near term, mid term, and long term focus of the program in a time of very constrained budgets


SLAC’s Role in these Uncertain Times SLAC’s HEP mission:

responsibility and an obligation to provide technical and scientific leadership and support to the national (and international) user community

provide unique technical capabilities for the management and construction of large-scale projects

design, build and operate the accelerators that define the frontiers of the field

enable members of the user community to play leadership roles in the HEP program and have full access to the science

participate in the education of a scientifically trained workforce, and in the training of the future leaders in the field

Challenge: carry out mission at a time when major changes from past way

of doing business No onsite frontier HEP machine

carry out mission at time when future options uncertain ILC


Outline of my Talk

A Laboratory in Transition How is the laboratory changing in the

next few years Events of the Past Year

Impact on the user community Current and future HEP program

Scientific Challenges and Opportunities Opportunities for the User Community


A Laboratory In Transition


SLAC: A Lab in Transition SLAC’s research vision is evolving dramatically.

The balance and content of the scientific foci is changing in substantial ways

Photon science is rapidly expanding It will be the dominant laboratory program by the end of

the decade. In 2009, the major accelerator-based facilities will both

be primarily serving photon science Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics

Will no longer have forefront accelerator based HEP program on site.

Non-accelerator efforts will grow Will be serving user community at accelerator facilities

that will be off site e.g. ILC; other potential accelerator opportunities


Photon Science Future X-Rays have opened the Ultra-Small World -- Realm of

SPEAR3 1012 photons/sec from high brightness undulator 400 eV –40 KeV 50 ps pulse limited coherence at x-ray wavelengths

X-ray Lasers will open the Ultra-Small and Ultra-Fast Worlds –Realm of LCLS 1012 photons/pulse 800 eV – 9 KeV 200 fs pulse at commissioning few * 10 fs within 1-2 years fully coherent at x-ray wavelengths

Changes to Optimize Lab for its Future Laboratory Organization and Management

Structure New structure is built around four new

directorates -- Particle & Particle Astrophysics, Photon Science, LCLS Construction, and Operations. Lab is better positioned to serve the two science

focus areas New structure stresses the importance of strong and

effective line management at the laboratory Laboratory’s “Image”

Draft


Events of the Past Year

Impact on the user community


FY2004 – A Banner Year for SLAC Outstanding PEP-II/BaBar performance On-budget, on-time completion of SPEAR3 Start of LCLS ITRP technology decision moved ILC

forward in major way GLAST transition to flight hardware

fabrication Very productive program in FFTB Growth and flourishing of Kavli Institute


FY2005 is a Challenging Year FY05 began with a serious electrical

accident that has impacted laboratory operations at all levels Halting operations was the correct and

appropriate response Our scientific programs must be conducted in

the safest possible manner Laboratory users and staff are to be commended

for manner in which they dedicated themselves to ‘safety first’ program

All facilities are back in operations


We are all doing a better job at Integrated Safety Management Safety, like research integrity, scientific

discipline, and fiscal responsibility, is a product of culture and sound management

Safety for personnel is achieved through Line Management (Collaboration Management for Users) Tools include AHA’s, JHAM’s, STA’s Managers are responsible for developing full understanding

of each activity and assuring workers competency to perform the activity

Safety in planning and design process is addressed through deliberate consideration of safety in the review of each device or activity

Safety in operations and work is achieved through tight control of work authorization


Changing the Safety Culture Most accidents occur when performing simple, quick

steps in a task performed hundreds of times before a step unexpectedly goes wrong In almost all cases accident and injuries happen

because some aspect of the quick simple step was different heavier object awkward position person distracted in a hurry...

In almost all cases with routine tasks, the only thing between us and potential injury is whether we have our attention focused on performing that task safely or whether our minds are elsewhere Must force ourselves to focus on safety content of

what we do


Changing the Safety Culture For almost all SLAC injury cases:

Either no one else was present or had time to stop the person

In almost every case the injury would have been prevented by the process: Plan your work Identify the hazards Control/Remove the hazards Do the work as planned

In almost every case, prevention was in the hands of the injured person


Review of ISMS at SLAC We are in the middle of a three step review

of Integrated Safety Management at SLAC This process will involve users as well as

staff Phase I Aug 31 – Sept 1

Focused on Laboratory management and selected facilities

Phase II Oct 3-11 Will involved the entire laboratory, including

users We need your help and support!


FY2005 is a Challenging Year (Cont)

FY2005 HEP program delayed by 6 months With help from DOE, program readjusted

so that the B-factory ran through summer

Budget appropriations were only concluded in January 2005 HEP budget was well short of expectation Had to make program adjustments and

to lay-off 55 HEP supported people


Current and Future HEP Program


Scientific Focus of Current and Future SLAC Scientific Program Current and planned SLAC HEP program is addressing

compelling scientific questions facing the field Where did the antimatter go? (B-Factory) Are there new symmetries and forces of nature? (B-Factory, ILC) Why are there so many particles? (B-Factory) What is Dark Matter? (LSST,GLAST,ILC) Can we solve the mystery of Dark Energy? (LSST, JDEM, ILC) Is there grand unification of particles and forces? (ILC, EXO) What are neutrinos telling us? (EXO) Are there extra dimensions of space? (ILC)

Doing accelerator research and technology development to meet current challenges and for the longer term future of the field PEP-II ILC Multi-TeV LC--Higher Gradient + Two Beam acceleration Future acceleration concepts


Status of Program Elements B-factory

Spectacular Physics Productivity continues Run May -- Sept 2005, Nov – July 2006 IFR upgrade deferred until summer 06 Luminosity Improvement Program Continues Sunset date of end of 2008 for facility called out in

President’s FY06 budget P5 process is asking

What factors or considerations might lead to stopping B-factory operations one year, or two years earlier than planned?

When would we be in a position to make such a determination and what information would be needed?

successful) Space Based Dark Energy: JDEM (20??) ILC (2016?)

R&D for farther future Accelerator Research


Programmatic Priorities For the near term:

We must focus on B-factory performance and delivery of science to our largest user community

For the mid term: We must continue in our leadership role for the ILC

Highest priority new facility for the world community We must complete GLAST construction and develop the

ISOC to enable science for the collaboration We must work to provide additional opportunities for

science to the HEP and SLAC user community in ~2012 e.g. LSST, EXO, JDEM, new accelerator based initiatives....

For the long term: The R&D in accelerator science is our hope for the future of

the field To make the next accelerator *after* the ILC technically

feasible and affordable
