Theoretical Physics Jogesh Pati is funded via the Maryland HEP grant Prof. Pati is working on Unified Models of Particle Physics and will continue to do so in 2005 Prof. Pati requests that he continue to receive 18% of his current salary even though he is retiring Prof. Pati requests continued funding for domestic and international travel. He is also requesting funding for ½ of a graduate student Note that funding for travel and for the student are Prof. Pati’s highest priorities UMD DOE Site Visit, August 30, 2005 12

Budget Explanation Maryland Base Grant in 2005 is $1510 K (including ~$50 K at the labs) Maryland HEP was granted $15 K for computing in addition Base Budget (experimental) $1407 K FNAL Service Account $20 K SLAC Service Account of $30 K Base Budget (theory) $53 K DOE has informed us that our base for experimental physics will grow by $90 K in 2006 to fund a CMS electronics post doc We have been getting about $15 K/year from the CMS Travel Enhancement Pool. At this point in time no guidelines have been received by CMS about enhancement of travel. Requesting Increment for Inflation, Travel (Ba. Bar and CMS), Grad. Students, Post Doc (+1) (CMS) UMD DOE Site Visit, August 30, 2005 13

Request for Grant Increment • Inflation • Our funding has been flat or negative for many years • Undergraduates and Graduate students • Several undergrads and starting grads have expressed interest to work in our program. We have to turn away aspiring HEP students. • Travel (We require a minimum of $150 K a year + indirect costs to maintain our program) • All hotel and airline costs are up • Ba. Bar Travel to SLAC is sharply up since data taking has begun • CMS travel to CERN is a major expense. We have strong ties to our International Collaborators and must meet with them on a regular basis • Prof. Pati requires some domestic and international travel support UMD DOE Site Visit, August 30, 2005 14

New Post Doc for CMS We request full time funding for an additional post-doc on CMS to work with Prof. Sarah Eno on LPC related tasks. Prof. Eno is the head of the LHC/CMS Physics Center at FNAL and needs continued support for manpower on D 0/CMS physics analysis. Drew Baden is the US HCAL TRIDAS coordinator and requires continued support both at CERN and the US for our major involvement in the CMS electronics. This position has been funded atrting in November of ’ 05. UMD DOE Site Visit, August 30, 2005 15
