Lab Vision and Priorities Vision
• To be the leading U.S. DOE, multi-disciplinary laboratory with recognized impact on national science needs
Mission• Utilize our world class facilities and ability to form teams to
- Advance photon, energy and environmental sciences and apply them to problems of critical importance of the nation
- Advance fundamental research in nuclear and particle physics to gain a deeper understanding of matter, energy, space and time
Lab Initiatives• Photon Sciences: complete NSLS-II construction and transition to
operations• QCD Matter: RHIC-II science and the transition to eRHIC• Energy S&T (Discovery to Deployment): Electric Systems and Sustainable
Fuels• Physics of the Universe• Systems Biology/Climate science
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)The world’s highest energy machine for fundamental nuclear physics and the only particle collider in the U.S.
• World-wide collaboration of more than 1000 scientists, engineers and students
Unique, most powerful microscope to explore the mysterious world of the Strong Force inside the proton and 0.00001 sec after the birth of the universe
• 4,000,000,000,000K • It is a Quark-Gluon Plasma
and a “Perfect Liquid”!
Future upgrades - eRHIC• Collide electrons with ions• Learn what’s at the heart of
all visible matter
SGRID3An LIREDC transformational project (BNL/SBU) Selected in 2011 –
• Design and pilot projects moving forward• Partnerships with utilities strong and growing –
LIPA, ORU, NYS Smart Grid Consortium
Vulnerabilities Exposed by Sandy highlighted the need
• Improved Reliability, Resilience, Recovery (3R)
NYS 2100 Commission Reports highlight grid needs
• SBU and BNL personnel served as “Experts”
Strategy• Seeking Federal support of a electric grid
distribution laboratory• Seeking state support of specific projects
- Long Island dynamic Micro-grid Proposal –a 3R solution for LI and the region
