September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 2
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 3
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 4
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

September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 7
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 8

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”

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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 21
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 22
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 23
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 24
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 25
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!
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 26
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 28
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
September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 29
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?

September 26, 2005 SLUO Meeting 34
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
