Slide2 : To study Quarks/Cosmos: We are working on partnerships … Antimatter?:
Dark matter? Dark energy? Masses (Higgs)?; Mixings?; Supersymmetry? Unification?
More Dimensions?
Gravity?
Quarks to the
Cosmos (Q2C)
Slide3 : Toward Defining a Broad Program Connecting to Quarks/Cosmos
Building on Existing Partnerships
Revolutionizing the way science is done through advanced cyberinfrastructure.
A basis for restructuring the integration of international research and education.
Empowering Universities in Research and Education
Empowering teachers as part of the research community
Bringing advanced cyberinfrastructure into the classroom by using distributed infrastructure supported for long times by Research programs.
A true symbiosis- MPS/CISE/EHR/INT
Slide4 : Existing Partnerships-Leads to more funds available.

Slide5 : LHC and Global Infostructure US Agreement on 5 Principles: The cost and complexity of 21st Century Science requires the creation of advanced and coherent global Infostructure
The construction of a coherent Global Infostructure for Science requires definition and drivers from Global Applications (that will also communicate with each other)
Further, forefront Information Technology must be incorporated into this Global Infostructure for the Applications to reach their full potential for changing the way science is done.
LHC is a near term Global Application requiring advanced and un-invented Infostructure and is ahead in planning compared to many others.
U.S. agencies must work together for effective U.S. participation on Global scale infostructure, and the successful execution of the LHC program in a 4-way agency partnership, with international cooperation in view. DEVELOPING GLOBAL INTERAGENCY COLLABORATION

Abstract
The science of particle beams is rich and challenging. Particle beams are many body systems with non-isotropic, non-thermal distribution, exhibiting many collective instabilities and self-organizing phenomena when interacting with electromagnetic fields and plasmas. Studies of these transitions from one non-equilibrium state to another, has progressed rapidly in recent years, but much remains to be done. The impact of particle beam, or accelerator science is extremely broad. Indeed, advances in many branches of science such as the materials sciences, nuclear science, elementary particle science, to name but a few, are paced by advances in accelerator science and technology. Much of the work in these areas has come to reside in the DoE National Laboratories. There is growing realization that universities have a unique and important role to play and that enhancing the university role will result in significant advances in accelerator science and development and in their broad impact on other sciences. The needs and opportunities are discussed herein.

Physics Fall Target Date : Physics Fall Target Date The target date for proposal submissions to the Division of Physics that are competing for FY 2004 funds is September 24, 2003.
The above date does not apply to proposals sent to the Physics Division in response to Foundation-wide solicitations, such as the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER – July 22, 2003) or Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs.
There are two general merit review criteria approved by the National Science Board (NSB) and listed in the GPG: (1) the intellectual merit of the proposed activity, and (2) the broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity. All proposals must separately address both of the merit review criteria in the Project Summary and should describe the broader impacts as an integral part of the narrative in the Project description.
Please note that this is not a shift in the priorities or strategic vision of the Division. It is rather a call for greater effort in expressing the broader context of our work.
Slide22 : We recognize the importance of doing LC R&D
We expect to put significantly more funds into LC R&D in FY04
We look forward to your next proposal(s) Summary
Slide23 : BACKUP
Slide24 : Physics at the Information Frontier
Program Description
This program provides support for proposals in three subareas: computational physics, information intensive physics, and quantum information and revolutionary computing. Computational physics focuses on computational problems in physics requiring significant long-term code development, and/or medium to large collaboratories involving physicists or physicists interacting with applied mathematicians and computer scientists. Information intensive physics seeks to develop rapid, secure and efficient access to physics data stores rising from Petabytes (today) to Exabytes (in 10 years) via heterogeneous and distributed computing resources and networks of varying capability and reliability. Quantum information and revolutionary computing supports proposals that continue to explore applications of quantum mechanics to new computing paradigms for physics.

REPORT ON THE SEPTEMBER NEUTRINO AND SUBTERRANEAN SCIENCE WORKSHOP
http://www.physics.umd.edu/ness02/
DECEMBER 2002 SUMMARY BOARD ON PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY
A deep underground laboratory can house a new generation of experiments that will advance our understanding of the fundamental properties of neutrinos and the forces that govern elementary particles, as well as shedding light on the nature of the dark matter that holds the Universe together. Recent discoveries about neutrinos, new ideas and technologies, and the scientific leadership that exists in the U.S., make the time ripe to build such a unique facility.

Slide27 : Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through Cyberinfrastructure:
Report of the National Science FoundationBlue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure
http://www.cise.nsf.gov/evnt/reports/toc.htm
Executive Summary Excerpt
Testimony from research communities indicate that many contemporary projects require effective federation of both distributed resources (data and facilities) and distributed, multidisciplinary expertise, and that cyberinfrastructure is a key to making this possible.... A few examples are the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulations (NEES), the Space Physics and Aeronomy Research Collaboratory (SPARC), the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), the Grid Physics Network (GriPhyN), the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory (iVDGL), and the High Energy Physics Collaboratory for the ATLAS project
Slide28 :
Report of the National Science FoundationBlue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure
The Panel”s overarching recommendation is that the National Science Foundation should establish and lead a large-scale, interagency, and internationally coordinated Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Program (ACP) to create, deploy, and apply cyberinfrastructure in ways that radically empower all scientific and engineering research and allied education.
