Brookhaven National Laboratory Plan, 2009 – 2018

Major Activities/Lab Initiatives

Resources Required

All of these initiatives require various resources to meet important milestones and bring them to fruition:

Photon Sciences: Funding for NSLS-II construction, beamlines, and operations; and world-class project team, BNL, and stakeholder support for the project.

Collective QCD Phenomena: Full funding for RHIC operations and upgrades, including the new RHIC ion source known as EBIS; expansion of computational facilities; and Brookhaven, scientific community, and DOE support for EIC R&D, leading to construction near the end of the 10-year period. 

Energy: Full funding for NSLS, NSLS-II, and CFN operations; funding for new and renovated lab space through DOE’s Science Laboratories Infrastructure Program; strong partnerships with academia, industry, and other national labs; Laboratory discretionary investments in targeted areas, and leadership in applied sciences.

Physics of the Universe: Upgrades to the Lab’s computing facilities and renovations to science laboratories supporting accelerator systems and detector R&D.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
