Preparation for discussion with Persis Drell about SCAC Facilities Subcommittee

• Srini Rajagopalan (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

Srini will meet on July 16th with Persis Drell, who is chairing the Facilities Subcommittee of the Office of Science Advisory Committee. The charge to the subcommittee can be found here: https://science.osti.gov/-/media/About/pdf/scac/reports/Charge-to-SCAC---Facilities_S4-Gil-Signed.pdf . The relevant paragraph of the charge states: I am asking the SC Advisory Committee (SCAC) to form a subcommittee to review the summary of proposed facilities and upgrades, identify any gaps, and then prioritize the new or upgraded facilities that are most crucial to the needs of the nation for the next ten years (2026-2036) and bring that report to the SCAC for consideration. In addition to delivering world-leading scientific capabilities for SC missions, the prioritization should consider how the proposed facilities integrate with and support the Genesis Mission for artificial intelligence and quantum information sciences, as well as other Administration priorities in fusion, microelectronics, biotechnology, and discovery science.
