Experimental Research! Research vs Project for Large Science

» How to create an effective research environment for large science» The system should be flexible and create experiment driven by

science and ideas» Different models

– NASA – science teams separate from project team, open data– DoE – umbrella grants, internal guidelines and reviews, collaborations, ..– Private – Keck– LIGO – NSF funded - designed to evolve into standard peer review system

! Strategic Planning» NSF top down from high level planning committees» Astronomy from Decadal Review by NAS panel» Particle Physics from National Laboratories + Road Map» LIGO – New endeavor in a new experimental field (Thorne, Drever,

Weiss, Vogt, …)

12-March-02 Summary -- Long Range Plan for HEP 2

The Goal of our SubpanelTo create a vision for the field for the next 20 years

The questions we posed for ourselves• What is our role in society and education?• What is high energy physics?• What are our goals and the paths to accomplish them?• How have we been doing?• What do we expect in the near term?• What opportunities do we identify for the longer term?• How do the U.S. and global programs interact?• What are the essential elements of a realistic program aimed

at our goals?• How can we set priorities and make the best choices?• How do we prepare for the far future?

LIGO Project! Organized like typical construction project (1994-2000)

» Vertical organization – every task has task manager, budget, deliverables, direct line of reporting

» Integration is the hard part» Project guided by scientists

! Evolution to Operating Research Environment (2000 - )» Flat organization – separate groups by task operating like

small laboratories (40m, TNI, Advanced R&D, data analysis, commissioning)

» New projects (Adv LIGO) done as project task within this structure

» Broader community – LSC and open data access
