       Long Range Plan – Dec. 2007
•QCD and the Structure of Hadrons
•Phases of Nuclear Matter
•Nuclei: From Structure to Exploding Stars
•In Search of the New Standard Model




   Our group has had significant input
   in planning the next 10 year science
   priorities
     Scientific Themes that Guide our Group

   Precision measurements
      Establish standard model parameters of particle physics
      Test sensitively for physics beyond the SM
        • These efforts play an important complementary role to
          the direct discoveries anticipated at the LHC

   Confronting QCD at a fundamental level
      Determine the role of quarks, antiquarks & gluons to the
       internal structure and properties of hadrons
      Understand the origin of hadron spin
        • Quark and gluon spin and orbital angular momentum
          contributions

We invest in a range of “Broader Impacts” activities
   Research  classroom
      Undergraduates and research
      Physics and general “problems” and
       pedagogical methods transferred into
       general Math curriculum
      Modern physics experimental lab re-
       development with new “near research”
       experiments
   Outreach efforts
      Saturday Honors Physics Program
       speakers
      Physics of Baseball

   Research Educational
     20 graduate students; 38 undergraduates, REU
     Physics communications short course at CIPANP
   Underserved populations
     Middle school girls science project
     Midwest Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics

           Management Plan – no changes
   Major issues involve whole group; monthly meetings
     Evaluation of current and future research directions
     Hiring postdocs, grant issues, tech time requests
   Each project runs its own budget
     Equipment, travel, supplies allocated annually per request
      and inline with approved proposal
   6 years ago, we assigned specific P.I. responsibilities
    and this plan has worked well

              Reiteration of Major Points
   Our research program is at the forefront of our field
   20 grad students, reflecting the inviting nature of our projects
   We continue to take on leading roles in large-scale projects
   Our success depends on…
      Quality, size, and coherence of our group
      Highly experienced research physicists
      Top quality postdocs and students
      Excellent technical support
      Strong funding from NSF and UIUC
