Do protons have a finite lifetime ? What are the properties of neutrinos ? What is their role in cosmic evolution ? What do neutrinos tell us about the interior of the Sun and the Earth, and about Supernova explosions ? What is the origin of cosmic rays? What is the view of the sky at extreme energies ? What will gravitational waves tell us about violent cosmic processes and about the nature of gravity ? Published September 2008 : European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Astroparticle Roadmap Methodology Roadmap organised by the Peer Review Committee (chair C. Spiering) 6 topical workshops (2005-2006) 7 working groups (2006-2007) Meetings on Theory, R&D, Computing 3 large symposia: Valencia 2006 Amsterdam 2007 Opportunities Brussels 2008 Priorities Large international participation at highest level 2 documents (opportunities, priorities) Special document on R&D and knowledge transfer Joint programming measures European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Roadmap Priorities I Understand the violent Universe, search for dark matter 2 construction priorities (in ESFRI roadmap) Technology defined: construction could start by 2012 Neutrino telescope KM3NeT in the Mediterranean Synergy with EMSO (Deep Ocean Observatories) FP6 Design Study and FP7 Preparatory Phase Gamma Astronomy CTA Preserve European leadership in the domain Possible designs 14 European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Priorities II Understand the composition of the Universe. Underground Science: coordinate underground laboratories sites of a series of searches of dark matter and neutrino mass* By 2011-2012, decide the technology that will increase the sensitivity of these searches by 2 orders of magnitude Example: DM search: LHC reach 150 kg Xe/Ar 1 ton EURECA or Xenon/Ar gon *Underground space equally important for proton decay searches , neutrino astrophysics and gravitational waves 15 European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Priorities IV Projects that will be conducted in a global framework – To be discussed in the OECD Global Science Forum on Astroparticle Physics 1. Charged Cosmic Rays : Auger-North – Medium cost for Europe 2. Megaton Scale detectors for proton decay, neutrino astrophysics and neutrino properties (mid 2010s) – – FP7 Design study LAGUNA Also DUSEL (US) and Hyperkamioka (Japan) 3. Underground Gravitational wave antenna Einstein Telescope (>2016) – FP7 Design Study E.T. 16 European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Astrophysics and Astroparticle Science in a global context MA TA OECD GSF Coordination with US Decadal plan of Astronomy US HEPAP ESA/NASA 0 30 GEO 600 VIRGO H 1 H 2 An example of distributed global coordination: LIG O GW antennas LIGO Common global infrastructure: AUGER European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Astroparticle physics networks exhibit a natural synergy with climate and risk monitoring studies or geoscience observation networks. 1)The atmosphere, the ocean and earth are both the target and detecting medium 2)They need to deploy large variable geometry networks of autonomous “smart” sensors in sometimes hostile environments Compare e.g. AUGER:1600 autonomous stations covering 3000 km²of the pampa or KM3 100 lines covering 1km² of ocean floor (oceanography, geosciences, biodiversity) With EMSO/EPOS or US (see talk J.Delaney) European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Relationships with ESFRI roadmap Priorities have a large overlap with ESFRI Roadmap: E-ELT, SKA, KM3, CTA PLUS: Calendar and milestones Budget constraints Global context considerations ASPERA Budget considerations (ground only): Astrophysics: 10000 FTE and 100 M€/year national investment +ESO 160 M€/year Astroparticle: 2500 FTE and 70 M€/year national investment Space budget: ESA 400 M€/year + 250-300 M€/year national budgets ASPERA roadmap: 1,0 B€ in 10 years 50% increase (including 25-30 M€/y for current program and R&D) ASTRONET ground roadmap (without KM3/CTA): 1,6 B€ in 10 years 40-50% increase (assuming 0,4 B€ will be spent by ESO + existing facility operation) 20% increase if one adds space and ground Efforts of worldwide sharing to reduce the increase. European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 LEGAL/FORMAL STRUCTURES Large experience in infrastructure schemes, no size fits all Good experience with European Organisations, international foundations and private companies under host country law. For new infrastructures: ERIC could be an improved framework, provided it has certain features (e.g. VAT exemption) European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Astrophysics and Astroparticle Physics have a long tradition in large research infrastructures that have assured European leadership in many domains of the field. European « decadal plans » of priority on Astroparticle and Astrophysics have been established and they are, despite their independent elaboration, remarkably convergent. The major recommendations also converge with the ESFRI priorities: E-ELT, SKA, KM3 and CTA The roadmap exercise prevented fragmentation to nationally/regionally limited initiatives. European Technical Design studies are in preparation. Site issues will be tackled with dedicated program committees. The international dimension is also a tradition of the field and a large fraction of the new infrastructures will be global. European Conference on Research Infrastructures Versailles 9-10 December 2008 Astronomical and Astroparticle RI’s for society Astronomical and Astroparticle RI’s Address fundamental questions about the Cosmos exciting public interest to science Urge to pan-European or even global coordination through their scale and complexity Promote new technologies and high level quality assurance procedures Transfer knowledge to adjacent fields and industry e.g. large monitoring networks, handling of large data sets, state of the art sensors Astronomical and Astroparticle RI’s Are public research initiatives promoting large scale industrial realizations (mirrors, sensor matrices, large volume vacuum, autonomous distributed acquisition, large underwater systems,..) They are also sustaining a network of smaller industrial partners with high-level niche technologies and know-how. These last fall usually victims of large industrial concentrations or market scale considerations despite the fact that they produce key components for energy/climate and national defense systems The Astronomical and Astronomical RI’s proposed above: Will be open and public access instruments Principal Investigator preferential access, for a limited period, will only be necessary for instruments where background conditions demand an intimate knowledge of the detector, for instance direct dark matter searches
