This meeting aims to discuss the goals of the University Consortium for the Linear Collider (UCLC), engage the university community, identify R&D needs, and establish a framework for future growth. Join us to explore opportunities in accelerator physics and detector issues.

First Meeting of theUniversity Consortium for the Linear Collider...“UCLC”Goals of this Meeting April 19th, 2002 Cornell University Jim Alexander - April 19th - UCLC
A journey of 1000 miles... • Long Range Panel: Linear Collider is Highest Priority… • But how to “start”?(the national labs have started long ago) • How to engage the university community? • manpower for R&D • demonstrate popular grass-roots foot-voting support • open avenues to HEP’ers to do Accelerator Physics • How to build the basis for future large scale growth? Jim Alexander - April 19th - UCLC
…begins with the first step... • This meeting: • identify needed R&D • discuss and build on work alreadystarted • make lists of opportunities for newcomers • establish subgroup coordinators • The next two months: • go home, assess interests, evaluate options, make plans... • probably add to the lists… • Next meeting (June 30th, UCSC): • review research plans intended for proposal • hammer into coherent framework • establish more formal internal structure, organization Jim Alexander - April 19th - UCLC
…after that it starts to cost money. Submit proposal to NSF by end of September Jim Alexander - April 19th - UCLC
General comments on what we’re doing • Grass roots response to LRP • Full intention to fold in with larger superstructures as these come into existence. • (US Steering Committee, North American Working Groups, Other Steering Committees, etc) • This is not a renegade action. • Opening (more) channels to university groups… • Broadening base of support and engagement • Pushing forward needed R&D: advancing the start date Jim Alexander - April 19th - UCLC
Specific comments on what we’re doing TODAY • Session I: Introductory and organizational talks • coffee • Session II: Accelerator Physics Issues • lunch • Session III: Detector Issues • Session IV: Breakout into topical discussion groups to talk about R&D opportunities in more detail, with experts and research coordinators. Begin to nucleate subgroup clusters. • Research Topic Location Research Coordinator • Accelerators Physics Room 311 Joe Rogers/Mats Selen • Machine-Det Interface Room 223 Dave Cinabro/Dave Rubin • Vertexing Room 327 Homer Neal • Tracking Room 305 Keith Riles • Calorimetry Room 233 Ed Blucher/Mark Oreglia • Session V: Wrap up Jim Alexander - April 19th - UCLC
