  5. Recommendations on Current Experiments • The PAC strongly recommends to make the Movable Polarized Target (PPM) available to the experiments as soon as possible and requests the Directorate ensure that adequate resources are available for the realization of this project. • The PAC notes the physics results obtained in NA49 and recommends continuation of JINR’s participation in this activity. • The PAC note the physics results obtained on the PHENIX project and recommends continuation of JINR’s participation in this activity. • The PAC notes the successful R&D carried out with CLIC, as well as the creation of a millimeter test range facility; the start of experimental data taking as well as R&D for a submillimeter-wavelength range. Taking into account the importance of this work…the PAC recommends approval of this project up to 2007 with first priority in 2005. • The PAC takes note of the status report on the TUS project (JINR’s participation) and on the development of a proposal for the NUCLEON project. The PAC recommends continuation of JINR’s participation in the TUS project with first priority until the end of 2005. The authors are invited to present a proposal for NUCLEON ar the next meeting of the PAC.

  6. Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program • "The Scientific Council would like the PACs to set scientific priorities, in light of budgets requested for the projects, being informed by the Directorate of the global financial situation, and the resources they propose to distribute to different fields of research…”

  7. Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program • An internal committee, Chaired by Prof. Igor Savin, will be commissioned to review the projects and recommend changes. The recommendation of the internal committee will be provided to the PAC at the November meeting. • In addition the PAC, in response to the following charge from Vice-Director Sissakian will provide helpful guidance at the beginning of this process by providing input concerning the scientific priorities of the projects.

  8. Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program Dear Professor Hallman: In accordance with the recommendation of the Scientific Council at its meeting of 3-4 June, 2004, I am asking that the Program Advisory Committee for Particle Physics provide guidance on the scientific priorities for approved projects in the JINR particle physics program. The primary purpose of this exercise is to seek input from the PAC on the significance, quality, and promise of ongoing and planned research in the context of maintaining a world-class particle physics research program at JINR. In carrying out this charge, the PAC is requested to comment on each project concerning whether it is: First Priority: absolutely essential, compelling research that "must be done" to support world leadership by JINR in particle and nuclear physics Second Budgetary Priority: excellent, forefront research by JINR scientists which should be supported with high priority Second Non-Budgetary Priority: important scientific research which should be carried out if resources permit

  9. Setting Scientific Priorities Within the Program In making this determination, the PAC should evaluate the following: 1)  Scientific significance of the research project in a world view 2)  Strength of the JINR scientific contribution to the project 3)  Demonstrated achievement and future promise of JINR scientific team on the project; strength of the team involved in the project (experience, reputation) 4)  Extent to which the project contributes to the scientific life of JINR in Dubna The comments of the PAC will constitute essential input for the effort at JINR to shape a world-class research programme which is fits within the constraint of available resources. I greatly appreciate the willingness of the PAC to assist the Directorate in making this important determination. I look forward to an informative report.         Sincerely, A. Sissakian

  11. JINR in CMS Physics The field of special interest of the Dubna group is study of Drell- Yan processes in the large invariant mass region The idea is to test Standard Model calculations for muon pair production up to the highest invariant mass accessible This task is attractive because: • There are many theoretical predictions of violations of the SM • There is no competition for the LHC  unique opportunity to test the SM up to 3-5 TeV mass region (Tevatron region is limited only of 0.8 TeV) • Excellent performance of CMS Muon system • Potential of the Dubna theoretical school to support this research program This activity of the JINR group is very visible in CMS ~ 20 contributions on these issues at CMS week and other conferences in 2004 alone.

  12. Research Strategy The strategy of this investigation is model-independent precision measurement of di-muon spectra and comparison of the data with theoretical calculations within the Standard Model. This strategy includes the following main research directions: • Theoretical support • calculations of SM di-muon continuum • QCD and EW high-order corrections • PDF’s uncertainties: status and perspectives • modern tends in physics beyond the SM (conceptions, models, event generators) • Experimental studies of di-muons • Development of reconstruction and analysis software • a few % momentum resolution of TeV muon and dimuon pairs • high track (and dimuon) reconstruction efficiency • Data pre-processing and analysis • Calibration and analysis • Trigger • Beam and cosmic tests • Computing • Farm and network supporting (hardware and core software) • Scenario of data processing and analysis

  26. Preparing to do science with ATLAS • Physics simulations and new research proposals of the ATLAS-JINR • group were discussed at the two workshops on the ATLAS physics program • (Dubna--April and November, 2004). The main topics are the following: • Search for the SM Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector via the processH → 4μ • (G.Chelkov, I.Boiko, K.Nikolaev, R.Sadikov) • Study of the the ATLAS large-mass Higgs discovery potential by means • of the reactionsH→2W→2l, orH→2W→l jj (Yu.Kulchitsky) and • H→2Z→2l , or H→2Z→lljj(V.Vinogradov). These studies were based on • simulated ATLAS DC1 and DC2 data. They rely on the Higgs boson production • via the Vector Boson Fusion mechanism (the two accompanying forward • jets allow very good background reduction) and on the maximal Higgs • boson decay rates into WW- or ZZ-pair at MHIGGS = 400 -- 1000 GeV.

  28. Preparing to do science with ATLAS The possibility of investigating the quark-gluon structure functions with the ATLAS detector by means of simultaneous registration of a direct photon (or Z-boson) and jets (so called "gamma/Z+jet"events) is being studied byD.Bandurin and N.Skatchkov. An HEP (semi-)analytical calculation tool for the LHC (Project SANC: Support of Analytical and Numerical Calculations for Experiments at Colliders) is being Developed by: D.Bardin, L.Kalinovskaya, P.Christova, G.Nanava A.Andonov (DLNP, JINR), A.Arbuzov, S.Bondarenko (BLTF, JINR)and V.Kolesnikov (PhD student, UNC, JINR). This a work in progress which promises to be useful for development of the JINR-ATLAS physical program in the near future. Physical verification of the SM electric charge of the top-quark (+2/3) with the ATLAS detector utilizing lepton-jet top decay channels(N.Russakovich, V.Bednyakov ,E.Khromov, A.Tonoyan).

  29. Preparing to do science with ATLAS Evaluation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to single top- and top-anti top quark production together with an estimation of the associated top-Higgs production (in pp-interactions) are being studied byA.Akhmedov. Aspects of research on top- and Higgs boson production and the search for the exotic phenomena at the LHC are being explored byZ.Usubov. Theory and phenomenology of ATLAS physics with the Higgs bosons, extra gauge bosons and (very) heavy quarkonia states as well as a the theory of the multi-particle correlations during particle production is being studied by G.Kozlov. A possible monopole search with the ATLAS detector is being explored by Yu.Kurochkin (Minsk). Diffractive Higgs production and the search for the virtual electroweak effects with ATLAS are being studied by I.Satsunkevich (Minsk). V.Gilevsky (Minsk) is studying general parameterization of 4-boson vertex and its importance for collider physics. P.Starovoitov (Minsk) is examining the two-photon mechanism of Drell-Yan lepton pair production in pp-collisions and has demonstrated that its contribution is not negligible. These are ongoing theoretical studies that still need to be simulated in ATLAS.
