• Moving forward beyond the Tevatron

All Hands, September 21st, 20112

2012 Medical Plan Changes

• Employees at Fermilab pay a smaller fraction of their health plan costs compared to other institutions

• There are inevitable pressures to come closer to the norm. We are choosing to do that now when we can make certain adjustments to minimize the pain

• All changes will be effective January 1, 2012.


The employee share increases in 2012


2012 Medical Plan Changes

Medical CoverageCigna Open Access Plus $ 80.34 $ 272.77 $ 113.43 $ 385.94 Cigna Network POS $ 81.36 $ 337.08 $ 111.01 $ 460.81 Blue Cross/Blue Shield Blue Advantage $ 68.20 $ 231.85 $ 91.64 $ 311.56

Health Plan Costs – Active Employees -Monthly

How do we minimize the pain?

• DOE has frozen salaries for two years. No merit increases are allowed. However, DOE has given some flexibility to the laboratory to make adjustments.

• Within the authority allowed by DOE we will make a one time, permanent increase of $1,000/year

• Full and part-time employees are eligible, amount pro-rated for part-time employees

• The increase is effective Oct. 1, included in first October paycheck


Other 2012 Medical Plan Changes

• Blue Cross/Blue Shield HMO Illinois plan no longer offered as of Jan. 1, 2012

• Blue/Cross/Blue Shield Blue Advantage will be the only HMO plan

Coverage in Blue Advantage HMO is very similar to HMO Illinois

Most doctors and hospitals in the HMO Illinois network also participate in Blue Advantage

The Blue Advantage plan costs the laboratory and employees significantly less than HMO Illinois

• More information available during Annual Enrollment, which begins November 7.


Employee Advisory Group

http://www.fnal.gov/faw/EAG

Employee Advisory Group

• The EAG consists of 21 employees from throughout the laboratory

• It meets for three hours every month under the guidance of an outside facilitator. It elects its own leadership group to set agendas and prepare meetings

• Meetings attended by senior managers of the laboratory

• Group members come from a variety of employee perspectives, provides input on issues and policies


Example of recent work…….

• A survey and follow-up analysis regarding satisfaction with the way individuals are managed/supervised within their groups

• Web based survey, anonymous

• Very useful in trying to understand “satisfaction” regarding management and potential correlations

• Invite you to read full survey at

Congressional actions

• President’s Budget Request for FY 12 had a large increase for Office of Science (BES, BER, ASCR) and flat budgets for HEP

• Both House and Senate have taken the increases out so the Office of Science goes flat from FY11 to FY12. In this day and age, this is considered a good outcome

• The House E&W bill has the President’s request for HEP, but the Senate Committee mark-up took away $17M for Preliminary Engineering Design of LBNE.

House has the PBR for FY12, Senate $17M less. The numbers will be reconciled in the final bill

Further Congressional actions

• The Deficit Reduction Committee has tight time table to produce additional cuts. We expect these to be beyond FY2012. However, any number of things could happen here.

• Next week the Science Committee of the House will visit Fermilab and host a roundtable discussion on the deep underground laboratory and LBNE. Real-time video here in the auditorium Wednesday, 10 am noon


Life after the Tevatron

• We will shut down the Tevatron down on September 30, 2011; the analysis will continue for several years:

www.fnal.gov/Tevatron

• Next is the exploitation of the LHC. The LHC (accelerator and detectors) has been the largest investment made by the US in the last several decades!!

• Accelerator facilities at Fermilab will move to the Intensity Frontier, first with the existing complex and later with Project X.


Two aspects to the intensity frontier

• 1) Neutrinos:

“Known unknowns”: the present picture has three generations of neutrinos that have masses and mix. However, we do not know many of the features of this picture: absolute neutrino masses, neutrino spectrum, missing mixing angle 13, matter-antimatter symmetry, Dirac or Majorana

“Unknown unknowns”: is this picture complete or are there additional particles such as sterile neutrinos or anomalous interactions that would make neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillation parameters be different?


Two aspects to the intensity frontier

• 2) Rare processesIn quarks: studied in colliders such as B-

factories (Japan and Italy) or the Charm Factory (China)

In muons and kaons: studied with intense beams at Fermilab, CERN and KEK

MicroBooNE

• Follow excess in present MiniBooNE data. Critical to determine is it electrons or photons?

• Use Liquid Argon TPC: physics + further development of the technology. Successful CD-2-3a review!

Status of Homestake facility• NSF stopped funding the development of the deep

underground laboratory in DUSEL: not appropriate for NSF

• DOE will support the facility through 2012 to allow for re-configuration

• Recent NRC Report strongly supports the scientific objectives: LBNE, DBD, DM

• Marx/Reichtanadter Report supported joint development, but dependent on LBNE

• DOE is supporting design, down-select on technology for LBNE. Final decision depends on costs and budgets……


Project X Reference Design


Project X Siting


Project X

• Unique facility with 3 MW, continuous wave (CW) linac. Multiplies low energy flux of protons at Fermilab by 100 with flexible timing patterns, ideal for rare decays

• Solves “proton economics”. Experiments run simultaneously at 3 GeV, 8 Gev and 60-120 GeV at high power

• Delivers 2+ MW to LBNE

• To be developed consistently to serve as front end of neutrino factory or muon collider


Project X: new experiments


Project X: technology innovation


Project X and the big questions


Where does mass come from?

Why is matter dominant?

What are the neutrino masses and what do they say?

Where are the heavy neutrino partners?

Why are there three families of quarks and leptons?

Do the forces unify?

Does nature use supersymmetry or other new symmetries?

Are there extra dimensions of space?

What is dark matter?

What is dark energy?
