R10.00001: Office of Science Accelerator R\&D Programs Invited Speaker: L.K. Len The Office of Science within the Department of Energy supports accelerator R\&D to develop technologies needed for building next generation particle accelerators for discovery science facilities. The near-to-midterm, facility-driven R\&D is supported by each of the respective program offices, namely, BES, NP and HEP. In addition, HEP also supports directed accelerator R\&D under the LHC Accelerator Research Program and the Muon Accelerator Program, as well as the long-range exploratory research aimed at developing new accelerator concepts, understanding the science underlying the technologies used in particle accelerators, and the fundamental physics of charged particle beams. This paper describes the research activities that are currently of interest to and supported by these programs. \\[4pt] In collaboration with Glen Crawford, Manouchehr Farkhondeh, and Eliane Lessner, US Department of Energy.

R10.00002: DOE Office of Science Accelerator Stewardship Program Invited Speaker: Michael Zisman Since the Accelerators for America's Future (AfAF) Symposium in 2009, the Office of High Energy Physics, U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE-HEP), has worked toward broadening its accelerator R\&D activities beyond supporting only discovery science to include medicine, energy and environment, defense and security, and industry. Accelerators play a key role in many aspects of everyday life, and improving their capabilities will enhance U.S. economic competitiveness and the scientific research that drives it. In 2011, a community task force was initiated by DOE-HEP to develop more fully the information from the original AfAF Symposium. Subsequently, a DOE-HEP concept (coordinated with the other cognizant Office of Science program offices) was developed for long-term accelerator R\&D stewardship. Here, we describe the evolution of the stewardship task starting from its origins in the ongoing DOE-HEP accelerator R\&D program, the mission of the new program, the broad criteria for participation, and initial steps being taken to implement it. Several initiatives are currently being considered to launch the program, and these will be indicated. Involvement of the accelerator community in developing ideas for future stewardship activities will be crucial to the ultimate success of the program.\\[4pt] In collaboration with Eric Colby, Manouchehr Farkhondeh, and Eliane Lessner, U.S. Department of Energy.

R10.00003: Office of Science Detector R\&D Programs Invited Speaker: H. Marsiske Innovation in instrumentation is central to any discovery science. Scientific progress in many fields has been achieved largely through technological advances in instrumentation. The technologies developed for accelerators and detectors, often driven by the needs of high energy physics, have frequently benefited other fields of the physical and applied sciences, medicine, security, and industry. In turn, detector development is increasingly informed by advances in the understanding of the underlying science coming from fields like material science, photonics, and nanotechnology. Technology research and development (R\&D) needs to take place across a spectrum of time scales and levels of risk, i.e., from focused short-term low-risk R\&D that provides incremental improvements to existing technologies to generic long-term high-risk R\&D that can result in transformative advances that are broadly applicable. This presentation describes the current detector R\&D programs within the Offices of High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Basic Energy Sciences; notable technological achievements in these fields as well as applications outside; and efforts needed to continue progress into the future. \\[4pt] In collaboration with Peter Kim, Eliane Lessner, and Gulshan Rai, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science.
