Dear Colleagues, Additional information on the President's proposed FY2010 budget for the DOE Office of Science can be found at: http://www.cfo.doe.gov/budget/10budget/Content/Volumes/Volume4.pdf HEP starts at: http://www.cfo.doe.gov/budget/10budget/Content/Volumes/Volume4.pdf#page=231 The ILC budget request in FY2010 remains the same as in FY2009, namely $35M. Details can be found at: http://www.cfo.doe.gov/budget/10budget/Content/Volumes/Volume4.pdf#page=268 It is not clear to me whether detector R&D is to be included in this amount, since there is a separate section on Detector Development on the next page with the following comments: " Current areas of investigation include R&D on detector technologies that could be used to pursue new opportunities in future lepton colliders,... A diverse program will be continued, including efforts on particle flow calorimeters, very low-mass trackers, ... " Detailed information regarding the National Labs can be found at: http://www.cfo.doe.gov/budget/10budget/Content/Labandstate/FY2010lab.pdf Some examples: Page Laboratory/ Facility FY2008 FY2009 FY2010 App. App. Req. 4 Argonne National Laboratory $410,651 $452,108 $452,109 11 Brookhaven National Laboratory $461,326 $524,648 $590,661 20 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory $354,685 $377,075 $402,935 27 Hanford Site $982,523 $1,037,991 $971,678 28 Idaho National Laboratory $995,570 $1,086,406 $1,070,058 37 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory $497,264 $506,675 $531,176 39 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory $1,185,096 $1,167,506 $1,159,696 44 Los Alamos National Laboratory $1,891,911 $1,884,853 $1,741,401 67 Oak Ridge National Laboratory $998,608 $1,094,260 $1,065,482 76 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory $512,765 $498,633 $508,696 92 Sandia National Laboratories $1,356,156 $1,322,247 $1,343,234 98 Savannah River Site $1,421,265 $1,490,384 $1,596,169 102 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory $302,943 $312,906 $289,089 112 Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility $98,517 $125,862 $149,188 It should be noted that this represents the President's proposed budget, which is only the beginning of a very long, complicated budget process.
