2. 2 August 7, 2006 David Hitlin DOE Annual Program Review The Caltech HEP Program  This is the last year of a three year grant  There have been some organizational changes in the grant Previous years  LHC computing, formerly Task N, is now a separate grant  General and technical support has been folded into Task C  Task D for Barish’s Global Linear Collider Design Effort This year  Added Task E for Sunil Golwala’s OJI  Our major ongoing activities are CMS, MINOS, and BABAR  Future possibilities No a, SNAP, Super B Factory, ILC  Initiatives 140K for SNAP (FY06 supplement) 100K additional request for the Theory Group for Sergei Gukov 50K additional request for a postdoc for Sean Carroll (who is supported on a Moore grant) We have been actively working to hire new experimental faculty  An Assistant Professor offer made this year was turned down  We will renew the search in the coming academic year
