Charge:
In the context of the scientific opportunities in high energy and
nuclear physics presented by DUSEL, the Committee is asked to assess the
present LBNL participation in its initial suite of experiments, and to propose
a roadmap for our future participation in the facility. Proposals for
experimental development have been submitted to the NSF (S4) in the following
broad areas: Long Baseline Neutrinos, Proton Decay, Neutrinoless Double Beta
Decay, Dark Matter Searches, Nuclear Astrophysics Experiments and Low
Background Counting. For each topic, the committee should identify the
scientific opportunity, and summarize the scale of current LBNL participation,
the impact that LBNL is likely to have on experiments at the present level of
effort, the value of additional manpower, and opportunities for synergistic
Detector R&D activities.
Since both NP and HEP funding is anticipated for DUSEL experiments, the
Committee should comment on the match of the proposed experiments to the HEP P5
report and the NP long range plan.
DUSEL presents many opportunities, but the roadmap should be presented in the
context of long-term commitments to other high priority programs such as JDEM,
LHC, RHIC and existing neutrino efforts such as Daya Bay, KamLAND and
CUORE.
