1. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting1 The State of the Laboratory Persis S. Drell Deputy Director, SLAC

2. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting2 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

3. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting3 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

4. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting4 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

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

19. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting19 Events of the Past Year Impact on the user community

20. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting20 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

21. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting21 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

22. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting22 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

23. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting23 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

24. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting24 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

25. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting25 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!

26. September 26, 2005SLUO Meeting26 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
