  4. ERLP Chirped beam compression ~100 fs FEL included CI students + pdocs +ASTeC

  5. Energy Recovery scRF  low loss  energy recovery - deceleration = acceleration phase – 180o - reversible electrodynamics - energy recovery  cavity RF Δt = 1/RF

  6. EMMA ERLP+EMMA  ATF ? ERLP  energy recovery - light source (4GLS) - beam-beam (CLIC) ERLP + EMMA  non-scaling FFAG - large emittance pre-acceleration (NF, µµ) - table top MeV ATF CI students + pdocs +ASTeC

  7. Next Generation Light 600 MeV, 100 mA 750-950 MeV, 1 kA Scope under (cost) review - synchronised (10 fs) -multi-source -IDs, FELs energy storage and manipulation ring CI students+pdocs +ASTeC

  8. The Future Energy Frontier? the CLIC trick time 0.9 GHz -drive RF MV 5 MV/m -bunched beam atklystron-delivered RF powerinst -bunch compression -resonant wake-field coupling 30 GHz -higher RF  150 MV/m @ higher RF powerinst -secondary beam acceleration

  9. Funding Continuity ? “business plan” = expert faculty univs appointing 6½ 9½  12½ + core research 7 9  15 + project research 11  >14 > 17 + students > 15(+3) 2008 ? } +matching growing expert demand lack ofcontinuity of responsive funding lamentable number of core studentships (2!) definitely not as planned ! threat to “mission”  “imaginative” approachs !

  10. CI PG students = business plan ? = E&T mission ?

  11. Summary and Conclusion CI progressing to maturity -acknowledged internationally (collaboration) -leadership roles -hands-on accelerating system(s) scientific programme growing (SAC input) -strategy responsive to changing world -able to focus at right moment -niche strengths already appearing (SAC) -substantial output high quality staff being recruited -growing demand for responsive projects -crucial to mission: STFC ?

  12. Summary and Conclusion industrial KE in very early stages -excellent individual examples (RF eng) -coherence of RDA+RC agenda? -how really to engage industry ? -how really to enable industry? -european industry coherence? substantial E&T program -in-house systems (ERL, large emittance) more high quality students should be funded

  15. Discussion • education and training • seminars and colloquia • funding • STFC • EUFP7 • EPSRC • strategy • modus operandi • - coherence • - hands-on seamlessness • - building • - KE • - funding status • details of hand-over to “new management” • ?

  16. Getting it right …… most of the time! there are three C’s in CoCkCroft ! CERN Courier Jan 2007 …but two R’s ?!
