  1. Solar Neutrinos WIMP Dark Matter e- ne e- 0 SNOLAB Scientific Development Andrew Hime Physics Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory SNOLAB Workshop V SNOLAB, Aug.21-22, 2006

  2. Workshop-I: Aug.20, 2002 (Sudbury)  Scientific Discussion & Information Gathering • Workshop-II: Nov.21-22, 2002 (Ottawa)  Prospective Experiments  Infrastructure Matrices  Conceptual Layout for Underground Spaces • International Call for LOI’s - Jan.26, 2004 • Established Experiment Advisory Committee • Workshop-III: May12-14, 2004 (Sudbury)  Refine Infrastructure Needs  Kick-Off Experiment Evaluation Process  Scientific Development & Process - May, 2004  Oct, 2005 • Workshop-IV: Aug.15-17, 2005 (SNOLAB)  Detailed Discussions on Technical Program & Schedules  Initial Recommendations on Scientific Program • Workshop-V: Aug.21-22, 2006 (SNOLAB)  Status, Progress, and Schedule of Prospective Experiments  Work Towards an Initial Suite of Experiments  Consider Longer-Term Scientific Roadmap

  3. LOI’s, Proposals, and Evaluation Process … SNOLAB EAC Chair: Barry Barish Secretary: Andrew Hime Baha Balantekin (US) Cliff Burgess (CND) Ken Ragan (CND) John Martin (CND) Kate Scholberg (US) Takaaki Kajita (Japan) David Wark (UK) Scientific Merit Infrastructure Need Progress on R&D Technical Feasibility Safety Funding & Schedule Participation & Management • Reviewed Letters of Interest (LOI’s) • Scientific Development Meeting - Dec.13-14, 2004 • Drafted Letters of Response (LOR’s) with Queries • Received Response to Queries • Delivered Recommendations to Community at Workshop-IV • Drafted Recommendation Document to SNOLAB Director - Oct. 10, 2005 • SNOLAB Director Drafted Letters to Individual Points-of-Contact

  4. Focus on Previous EAC Endorsements

  5. Focus on New Developments

  6. Defining and Implementing an Initial Suite of Experiments & Scientific Roadmap • Some experiments being established  PICASSO prototyping Now (in SNO space)  DEAP-I to be installed this Fall (in SNO space)  SNO+ actively pursuing Funds & Collaboration • Updates & Schedules for Other Prospective Experiments Discussed Here  Requested brief status reports to accompany presentations • Some Uncertainties  Many projects in a stage of R&D … Is R&D / prototyping space required?  Many projects seeking funds  Prospects and schedule for DUSEL • Need to establish appropriate forum for technical review and implementation  Technical Research Proposals will be required • Need to establish overall scientific organization of the facility
