Globalization of HEP

1
Globalization of HEP

• Subgroup of Young Physicists Forum steering
  committee
• Véronique Boisvert, John Krane, Gudrid
  Moortgat-Pick, Mark Palmer, Manuel Toharia

2
Overview

• Demise of SSC
• Lack of international cooperation in the project
• International Cooperation in HEP
• Steering of long-term decisions
• Funding and Construction of Large Projects
• Operation of Large Projects

3
International Cooperation

• Right now no international steering group
• Now Ad hoc committees form, report, disband
• Could have a semi-permanent advisory group,
  eventually some funding control?
• Important to have government representatives
• Theorists, particle phys., accelerator phys. all
  need to be represented
• Disadvantages
• Loss of national pride
• Possible HEP budget decrease?

4
The International Laboratory

• National facilities
• Operated by host country, planning, project
  definition done in int. coll.
• Larger facilities
• Operated by host country, construction by several
  countries
• HERA model
• Very large projects
• needing a coll. of several countries with
  comparable share of the total construction and
  operation cost
• Never been done before
• Very large projects
• in the frame of an international organization
• CERN model

From
ICFA
5
Regional Centers

• Distance is a barrier for effective
  contributions, specially for young physicists !
• Possible solution is Regional Centers
• Laboratory where
• remote operation of the accelerator and detectors
  
• data processing
• Make use of current national laboratories
• Dont have to travel too far attract students
• Funding agencies will like the periodic control
• Host lab doesnt get completely overwhelmed
• Disadvantage cost ! , viability?

What you should be thinking about while at
Snowmass

• Can and should the field start a planning process
  at an international level? How? Etc.
• What should be the structure of a future
  International Laboratory?
• Are the benefits of Regional Centers worth the
  costs?
• How can we solve the problem of separation for
  young physicists?
