The Science Drivers of Particle Physics The P5 report identified five intertwined science drivers, compelling lines of inquiry that show great promise for discovery: • Use the Higgs boson as a new tool for discovery *2013 • Pursue the physics associated with neutrino mass *2015 • Identify the new physics of dark matter • Understand cosmic acceleration: dark energy and *2011 inflation • Explore the unknown: new particles, interactions, and physical principles * Since 2011, three of the five science drivers have been lines of inquiry recognized with Nobel Prizes 2 HEP Program Status & Funding Opportuntis at FNAL Users Meeting - 6/15/2016

HEP FY 2017 BUDGET 4
The Federal Budget Cycle • Typically, three budgets are being worked on at any given time – Executing current Fiscal Year (FY) – White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and Congressional Appropriation for coming FY – Agency internal planning for the second FY from now FY 2016 Spend the Fiscal Year Budget Budget Release Congressional OMB FY 2017 Spend the Fiscal Year Budget Budget and Review Appropriations Budget Release Congressional FY 2018 DOE Internal Planning with OMB Spend the Fiscal Year Budget Budget and OMB and OSTP Guidance Review Appropriations Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep 2015 2016 2017 2018 You are here 5 HEP Program Status & Funding Opportuntis at FNAL Users Meeting - 6/15/2016
Budget and Appropriations Process • Many factors are involved in generating the President’s Budget Request – Bottom-up factors include: • Agency management and staff • Strategic plans • Advisory Panel input • Review committee reports • Community workshop reports – Top-down factors include • White House priorities/OSTP policy guidance • OMB directives • President suggests, but Congress “holds the purse” – Congressional budget process is itself complex • Budget resolution, reconciliation, sequestration, authorization, appropriation… – Agencies usually invited to brief Congress on their budget request – Agencies can respond to Congressional requests for information about the impact possible funding decisions would have on a program 6 HEP Program Status & Funding Opportuntis at FNAL Users Meeting - 6/15/2016
Appropriators Noticed the P5 Report • FY 2014 House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Report: – “the Committee supports the Office of Science’s challenge to the High Energy Physics community to identify an LBNE construction approach that avoids large out-year funding spikes or to identify viable alternatives with similar scientific benefits at significantly lower cost .” • FY 2015 House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Report: – “The Committee notes that the high energy physics research community is currently engaged in developing a ten-year plan for U.S. particle physics, which will include a ten-year report by the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel under various budget scenarios. The Committee applauds the Department for this undertaking . . .” • FY 2016 House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Report: – “ The Committee strongly supports the Department’s efforts to advance the recommendations of the Particle Physics Prioritization Panel and urges the Department to maintain a careful balance among competing priorities and among small, medium, and large scale projects .” 7 HEP Program Status & Funding Opportuntis at FNAL Users Meeting - 6/15/2016

FY 2017 HEP Budget Strategy • The FY 2017 HEP budget reflects the way that implementing the P5 strategy has evolved as the U.S. and international community has adopted and responded to it – LHC (incl. upgrades) is still the highest near-term HEP priority – LBNF/DUNE has been reconfigured and is gaining international support much more rapidly than anticipated in the P5 strategy – Administration and Congress strongly support establishing LBNF/DUNE as the first U.S.-hosted international science facility • This presents an opportunity to advance the P5 strategy on a shorter time scale through additional funding: “Scenario B+” – HL-LHC accelerator and detector upgrades per CERN schedule – Support all other projects in P5’s Scenario B – Maintain balance between Research, Operations, and Projects – Additional funding beyond the above priorities would support accelerating the implementation of LBNF/DUNE 10 HEP Program Status & Funding Opportuntis at FNAL Users Meeting - 6/15/2016
