4. LANL Nuclear Physics 45/10/2006 Spin physics from muons at RHIC is now coming and LANL is largely alone in leading this effort. Need to build this effort AND maintain our already strong efforts on non-spin topics LANL leading major new effort for FVTX upgrade to PHENIX we cannot shut down our physics efforts while we do this need to maintain strong physics while building FVTX New opportunities with E906/FNAL or JPARC difficult to make substantial contribution here without staff increase given heavy PHENIX involvement Need to add a new physicist! Natural attrition likely means some staff leaving over the next few years – need replacement(s) Strategy for Staffing and Effort

LHC pA?interest LANL Spin & Cold Nuclear Matter Program Resource Distribution & Comments – FY07-FY11 adding staff allows strong physics during FVTX construction & hopefully E906/JPARC involvement (try for new LDRD to help start the latter?) FVTX LDRD ends after FY08; staff migration onto base funding difficult to see how LHC pA can be pursued; especially if E906/JPARC goes ahead (for President’s budget + 10%/yr increases – LANL request)

6. LANL Nuclear Physics 65/10/2006 Spin & Cold Nuclear Matter Program Research Goals, FY06 and beyond Gluon contribution to the nucleon spin – double-spin asymmetry for heavy-quarks & onia with muons –Single spin asymmetry measurements of forward hadrons, charm, beauty and quarkonia Contribution of the nucleon’s sea quarks to its spin (W’s) Cold nuclear matter effects with quarkonia Charm and beauty via single muons RHIC-II to enable rarest probes Much of RHIC program strengthened by FVTX upgrade dbar/ubar & quark energy loss via Drell-Yan process at E906/FNAL or JPARC pA program at the LHC?
