Gulshan Rai Program Manager for Heavy Ion Physics DOE, Office of Nuclear Physics, SC-90 ================================================= Dear Colleague, At the NSAC meeting in February, the DOE and NSF presented NSAC with a charge to review of the US program in heavy-ion nuclear physics. The letter with the full charge to NSAC can be found on the DOE web site at http://www.sc.doe.gov/production/henp/np/nsac/docs/nsacCharge_HI_021804.pdf This note is to bring you up to date on the present status of this NSAC initiated review. A. The membership of the Subcommittee is as follows: Peter Barnes, Chair LANL Kees de Jager Jefferson Laboratory Bradley Filippone CalTech Thomas Glasmacher Michigan State University Hans-Ake Gustafsson Lund University Ulrich Heinz Ohio State University Barbara Jacak Stony Brook University Peter Jacobs LBNL Jay Marx LBNL Alfred Mueller Columbia University Steven Vigdor Indiana University Urs Wiedemann CERN Richard Casten Yale University, ex-officio B. The character of this review can be seen from the following paragraphs taken from the charge: "The NSAC is asked to examine current and proposed U.S. efforts in heavy-ion nuclear physics and identify what scientific opportunities should be pursued, in the context of U.S. and international capabilities and available resources, to ensure an optimized national research program. In your examination of these facilities and research activities, please respond to the following questions: What scientific opportunities should be addressed and what facility and instrumentation capabilities should be used and developed, including those supported by NSF and outside the United States, in order to maintain a strong scientific program in the coming decade? What opportunities can be pursued with funding at the FY 2005 Budget Request level ($158.9 million) and an assumed constant level of effort into the out years? What is the appropriate mix of facility operations, research, computer support, investments in instrumentation and accelerator capabilities, and detector and accelerator R&D that will be needed to optimally exploit these opportunities? What are the priorities of the scientific opportunities that could be pursued with additional funds beyond this constant level of effort?" C. We are in the initial stages of organizing the Subcommittee which will then be establishing what information it will require from the community for its deliberations. It is requested that documentation of proposed activities that encompass future initiatives within the US heavy ion program be submitted to me by May 1. A forum for public discussion of these initiatives with the Subcommittee is now being organized. Please feel free to forward this message to those who might be interested. Sincerely, Peter D.
