ABSTRACTThe proposed Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) will house an extensive portfolio of experiments in physics, biology, geosciences and engineering to address important science questions across these disciplines. An Initial Suite of Experiments (ISEs) must be assembled to address these questions and to present a compelling, safe and cost-effective plan for their implementation. A fully developed suite of ISEs will be a major component of the MREFC document to be assembled for the DUSEL in December 2009 for subsequent implementation in 2012.Objectives and Intellectual Merit: To address the development of the ISEs this proposal seeks support for activities of the DUSEL Experiment Development Committee (DEDC), representing the physics, biology, geosciences and engineering communities. This Committee will: Develop the framework for a superset of the ISEs consistent with the community-driven efforts reported in the S-1 and other plans, and consistent with the capabilities of the proposed activity.Coordinate the activities of the community in defining the portfolio of ISEs and in completing the necessary design and evaluation of experiments to ensure safe and successful operation within a DUSEL.Liase between the scientific community and both NSF and the Homestake design team to ensure on-schedule development for the superset-ISE plans and for the timely completion of an MREFC application.Approach: These objectives will be met through a series of workshops and meetings detailed in the following proposal. The DEDC will: (1) Review key ISEs identified within the site-independent activities conducted to-date and identify any new ISEs through workshops with key proponents and the broader community; (2) Organize working groups around ISEs or logical groupings of experiments towards developing a compelling science plan for DUSEL; (3) Organize this superset of ISEs into a coherent framework and galvanize the working groups to develop detailed science and engineering plans for these experiments to reach readiness for an MREFC application anticipated for December 2009; and (4) Coordinate these activities throughout with NSF and the Homestake design team, to insure engineering feasibility, to maximize efficient use of multi-user facilities and to guarantee that the ISEs are mutually compatible within the Homestake environment, and be responsible for articulating the science vision to the community and to government.Expected Results and Broader Impacts: These activities will contribute to the form and quality of the science plan for the superset of ISEs and to the timely submission of an MREFC application. These are essential components in the path to the development of a successful long-term multi-user facility developed at optimal cost and schedule that will serve the physics, biology, geosciences and engineering communities.

摘要拟议的深层科学和工程实验室（Dusel）将拥有广泛的物理，生物学，地球科学和工程实验组合，以解决这些学科的重要科学问题。必须组装最初的实验套件（ISE），以解决这些问题，并为其实施提供引人注目，安全和成本效益的计划。一套完全开发的ISE套件将是MREFC文件的主要组成部分，该文件将于2009年12月为Dusel组成，以便在2012年为随后的实施。目标和知识分子优点：为了解决ISES的开发，该提案寻求支持Dusel实验开发委员会（DEDC）的活动，代表物理学，生物学，地理，地理，Eromensering和Eromensering Communering和Eromensering Commuminers和Eromensering Commuminers。该委员会将：制定ISE超集的框架，与S-1和其他计划中报道的社区驱动的努力一致，并符合拟议活动的能力。协调社区在ISES组合中的活动，以确定实验和确保Scielder in e Homece and Sociede的必要设计和评估，并确保Scielse and Sociede.liasse.liase.liasse.liasse.liasse.lia.liasse.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia.lia。超集计划的安排开发以及及时完成MREFC应用程序。请接受：这些目标将通过以下建议中详细介绍的一系列研讨会和会议来实现。 DEDC将：（1）审查在与站点无关的活动中确定的关键ISE，并通过具有关键支持者和更广泛社区的研讨会来确定任何新的ISE； （2）组织围绕ISE的工作组或实验的逻辑分组，以制定引人注目的Dusel科学计划； （3）将ISE的超级集组织成一个连贯的框架，并使工作组镀锌，以制定这些实验的详细科学和工程计划，以便为2009年12月预期的MREFC应用程序准备就绪； （4）与NSF和寄宿家庭设计团队协调这些活动，以确保工程可行性，最大程度地利用多用户设施，并确保在寄宿家庭环境中相互兼容，并在寄宿家庭中相互兼容，并负责向社区和更广泛的影响力和更广泛的影响力促进科学的愿景。提交MREFC申请。这些是成功开发的长期多用户设施的道路上的重要组成部分，该设施以最佳的成本和时间表开发，该设施将为物理，生物学，地球科学和工程社区提供服务。
