Big News!! • Kirill Melnikov wins OJI – 2 nd Hawaii OJI in two years. • Hirotaka Sugawara joined our group • – Dai Ho Chun Chair 1 st results from Kam. LAND – LMA solution favored • Hint of new physics from Belle – sin 2 1(B KS) = sin 2 1(B J/ KS)? • Anita-lite will fly this year Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Our strategy is unchanged: • Do excellent science st • Use 1 -rate facilities • Maximize our impact Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Currently important HEP areas § Solar neutrino problem § Kam. LAND § Ultra-high energy cosmic rays § GLUE, ANITA, SALSA § CPV in B-meson system § Belle § n oscillations/n mass § Super-K / K 2 K / Kam. LAND § Precision tests of SM § Higher-order QCD calculations § R measurements from BES § Searches for SUSY § Plans for GLC Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Hawaii plays an important role in each of these areas Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Neutrino oscillations • Kam. LAND selects the LMA solution!!! Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

B-meson physics with Belle • New physics in B KS? – 1 st reported by Browder @LP 03 • 2 ( ) results from in B p+p– 1 st measurements SM 2 • EW penguin (K* l+l-) – 1 st observation • new charmonium state discovered – follow-up to hc’ discovery in 2002 Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

R-scan and J/ & ’ physics (BES) • Completed R-scan analysis – MHiggsup by 50% • baryonium state? J/ pp – PRL 91 022001 (2003) ? ? ? • Jpc of the f(1710) m(pp) – it’s 0++ hep-ex/0307058 (accepted by PRD) Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

New directions for HEP • Radio detection of UHE cosmic n’s – Askaryan effect verified over 4 orders of magnitude – New limits on diffuse UHE cosmic n’s – ANITA lite flies this year Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

New types of detectors/electronics • 3 -dim pixel detectors for LHC/NLC • DAQ electronics for ANITA & Belle STRAW Chip for RF antenna Array readout Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Impact • GLUE/ FORTE /ANITA / Sal. Sa / … – initiator / spokesperson: Gorham • Belle – co-spokesperson: Olsen analysis coord: Browder – ~largest non-KEK group in Belle – ~10 of Belle’s 1 st 70 papers were 100% Hawaii efforts (plus many Hawaii contributions to the others) • BES – cospokesperson: Harris R-scan Ph. D stdnt: Kong • Super-K / Kam. LAND – council: Learned / upmu leader: Matsuno – Kam. LAND calibration: Gorham / Gullian Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Further future • Harris is co-leader of the BESIII/BEPC initiative Super-B x 1000!! • Browder is a leader in the quest for Super B-factories Projected Lum • Gorham is launching a new field of UHE CR detection 2002 • We’re recruiting an Asst (Assoc? ) Prof Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

Faculty/Staff • State supported: (11 faculty) – Learned, Matsuno, Peters, Sugawara (full 11 month salaries) – Browder, Gorham, Harris, Melnikov, Olsen, Tata, Pakvasa • DOE supported: (2 faculty) – Jones & Parker • Research Associates (9; 6 DOE-supported) – Ferrandis, Guillian, Guo, Herbert, Lehtinen, Link, Mitov, Seuster, Trabelsi • Graduate students (10) • Technical Support (~2. 5 FTE’s) – Ibaraki, Rosen, Varner Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen

University support • faculty salaries – Learned, Matsuno, Peters& Sugawara 100% • reduced teaching loads – 0 for Matsuno, ~50% for Olsen • high-quality lab space • start-up funds • off-campus overhead Saltstack CR expt – 0% overhead for postdocs • department machine shop – 2 full-time machinists • ~ 50% of our computing system Fishnet PC farm Sept 18 2003 DOE Site Visit Overview Stephen L. Olsen
