Federal budget impact on Fermilab and HEPThe FY08 federal budget cut $94 million in funding for High Energy Physics. The diminished funds will have a powerful impact at Fermilab, requiring workforce adjustments and forcing the cancellation of R&D for experiments and technology key to the future of particle physics. Included in the cuts are funding for the NOvA neutrino experiment and funding for R&D for the International Linear Collider. Read a fact sheet on the impact of budget cuts on Office of Science programs. Fermilab Director Pier Oddone discussed the implications of the FY08 federal budget for the laboratory at an All Hands meeting Thursday, Dec. 20. That video is now available. Fermilab is working with the Department of Energy and members of Congress to minimize the cuts' impact on science research at Fermilab. News stories, statements, letters and talks related to the budget's consequences for Fermilab are available below.
