H4.00001: The Nuclear Frontier: Rare Isotope Facilities for Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics Invited Speaker: Rare isotope facilities make rich opportunities available for nuclear structure research as well as for nuclear astrophysics and applied physics. These facilities drive the increasing understanding in nuclear physics research. Rare-isotope accelerators play such a significant role for future research and development and provide the impetus for moving forward in many scientific disciplines. Existing ISOL and projectile fragmentation facilities like ISAC at TRIUMF, ISOLDE at CERN, and RIBF at RIKEN represent first generation facilities, where basic developments are being performed which pave the way to new facilities. Such facilities like FRIB, FAIR and EURISOL will provide unprecedented intensities of short lived isotopes. A review of present facilities and new projects on the horizon is presented with emphasis on new designs in accelerator physics. [Preview Abstract] |

H4.00003: The Energy Frontier: Tevatron, LHC and LHC Upgrades Invited Speaker: On December 14, 2009, the unprecedented reign of the Fermilab Tevatron as the world's highest energy collider ended after almost a quarter century, when the LHC successfully collided two beams of 1.18 TeV each. It soon reached its current energy of 3.5 TeV per beam, and over the next few years should reach the design energy of 7 TeV per beam and a luminosity of roughly 30 times that of the Tevatron. Although we look forward to exciting new physics at every step, a program has been outlined which would take some 50 to fully explore at this nominal luminosity. Therefore, after providing an overview on the significance of the Tevatron and the status of the LHC, this talk will focus on the plans to increase the integrated luminosity of the LHC and perhaps even to increase the energy at some point.
