As part of the activities authorized under section 209 of the Department of Energy Organization Act ( 42 U.S.C. 7139 ), the Director shall carry out a research program on the elementary constituents of matter and energy and the nature of space and time. As part of the program described in subsection (a), the Director shall carry out research using high energy accelerators and advanced detectors to create and study interactions of novel particles and investigate fundamental forces.
As part of the program described in subsection (a), the Director shall carry out research activities on rare decay processes and the nature of the neutrino, which may include collaborations with the National Science Foundation or international collaborations on relevant research projects. As part of the program described in subsection (a), the Director shall carry out research activities on the nature of dark energy and dark matter. These activities shall be consistent with the research priorities identified by the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel or the National Academy of Sciences, and may include— collaborations with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, or international collaborations on relevant research projects; and the development of space-based, land-based, and underground facilities and experiments.
Consistent with the Office of Science’s project management practices, the Director shall support construction or fabrication of— an international Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility based in the United States; the Muon to Electron Conversion Experiment; Second Generation Dark Matter experiments; the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument; the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope camera; upgrades to components of the Large Hadron Collider; and other high priority projects recommended in the most recent report of the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel.
As part of the program described in subsection (a), the Director shall carry out research and development in advanced accelerator concepts and technologies, including laser technologies, to reduce the necessary scope and cost for the next generation of particle accelerators, in coordination with the Office of Science’s Basic Energy Sciences and Nuclear Physics programs. The Director, as practicable and in coordination with other appropriate Federal agencies as necessary, shall ensure the access of United States researchers to the most advanced accelerator facilities and research capabilities in the world, including the Large Hadron Collider.
