Y02.00001: Summary Basic Research Needs for High Energy Physics Detector Research & Development Invited Speaker: Bonnie Fleming Transformative discovery in science is driven by innovation in technology. Our boldest undertakings in particle physics have at their foundation precision instrumentation. Investments in High Energy Physics (HEP) enabled by instrumentation have been richly rewarded with discoveries of the tiny masses of the neutrinos, the origin of mass itself: the enigmatic Higgs boson, and the surprising accelerating expansion of the Universe. What we have learned is remarkable, unexpected, exciting and mysterious; raising many new questions waiting to be answered. The program laid out in the 2014 Particle Physics Projects Prioritization Panel (P5) report ”Building for Discovery - A Strategic Plan for U.S. Particle Physics in a Global Context” guides current and near future experiments to exploit these and other discoveries, and the instrumentation innovation they require, to push the frontiers of science into new territory. To explore this territory HEP will soon embark on planning the next generation of experiments. Realizing these experiments will require giant leaps in capabilities beyond the instrumentation of today. Accordingly, now is a pivotal moment to invest in the accelerated development of cost-effective instrumentation with greatly improved sensitivity and performance that will make measurable the unmeasurable, enabling a tool-driven revolution to open the door to future discoveries. A Basic Research Needs Study for High Energy Physics Detector Research and Instrumentation was held during 2019 and released in August 2020. Historic scientific opportunities await us, enabled by executing the instrumentation research plan that I will outline in this talk. [Preview Abstract] |

Y02.00002: Multidisciplinary development in high energy physics Invited Speaker: Maurice Garcia-Sciveres The MultiHEP workshop, held virtually Nov. 9-12, 2020, sought to collect experience from multidisciplinary efforts to advance High Energy Physics goals. A Snowmass white paper will be prepared and possibly followup workshops will be held. This talk will present highlights from the topics covered and workshop discussions. This is includes efforts in materials science, chemistry, nanotechnology and various industry partnerships. [Preview Abstract] |

Y02.00003: Advanced Technologies for New Discoveries in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment Invited Speaker: Jingbo Wang In the last decades, significant advances in experimental neutrino physics have been tightly related to the development of new detector technologies. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is the future leading-edge, international experiment for neutrino science and discoveries of physics beyond the Standard Model. DUNE will consist of the world's most intense neutrino beam, a near detector complex at Fermilab, and a 40-kton fiducial mass far detector deep-underground in South Dakota. A broad range of new detector technologies is being explored in DUNE, aiming at unprecedented precision and sensitivity, which could open ways toward new discoveries. This talk will review the advanced technologies being recently developed for DUNE, followed by a discussion on new ideas related to DUNE and other possible future neutrino experiments.
