Closing RemarksMay 5, 2011 Norbert Holtkamp
Charge • Is the strategic direction of the accelerator R&D at SLAC consistent with the most promising areas of science? • Is the role of the Accelerator R&D at SLAC well defined? • Does the Accelerator R&D program support and serve the main missions of the laboratory? • Is the infrastructure at SLAC well utilized to serve the R&D program? • Is the plan to develop and grow Accelerator R&D and its supporting infrastructure sustainable? • Are the core SLAC Accelerator R&D directions consistant with the mission priorities of the funding agencies? • To what level could/should a Work for Others program grow? What agencies should SLAC approach for funding? • Is the financial risk to the laboratory that the Accelerator R&D program represents acceptable? Accelerator R&D: Strategy
Other questions? • Is there any more information we should provide? • What will happen next? • Discussion tomorrow in the SPC meeting • Continued discussion with DOE on the path forward • Implementing an infrastructure to run WFO program • Seek connection to industry beyond HP RF • If this is not the right strategy…. We need more time. Accelerator R&D: Strategy
