European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures

1. European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures Dr.- Ing. Beatrix VIERKORN-RUDOLPH ESFRI Chair NuPECC Long Range Plan 2010, 9th December 2010

2. Role of ESFRI • Reflecting on the development of strategic policies for pan-European Research Infrastructures • Exchanging views and exploring common and integrated initiatives • Contributing to the implementation of the Lisbon agenda. • Responding to the need of the scientific community to address the rapidly evolving science frontiers

3. Structure of ESFRI Chair Secretariat (EC) Executive Board Forum TWG EPS TWG BMS TWG SSH TWG ENV TWG ENERGY Other working groups • e-IRG- ESF • …. The ESFRI Forum was set up 2002 by the EU Council of Research Ministers

4. European Roadmap for RI • ESFRI has identified new pan-European RI needed in the next 10 to 20 years, regardless of possible location • 50 RIs have been identified through several review stages between 2006 and 2010 • Update of the Roadmap in 2010 in the areas Energy and Biological and Medical Sciences • 10 of the projects are in the implementation phase

5. Criteria for entering the European Roadmap • Proposal presented by Countries or European organisations • Scientific Case: • Uniqueness of the facility for the scientific community • pan-European/international dimension • Maturity of Concept: • technologically & financially feasible

6. Process for entering the Roadmap 4 Scientific analysis by external experts of the proposal (taking 3 into account) no Scientific Caseok? Out yes technicaland business analysis 5 List of emerging ideas no Concept mature? yes ThematicWorking Group Peerreview landscapes Analysis of scientificcommunityneeds 3 Stagegate steps WG draft Report + possible supporting documents 6

11. FAIR Finance FAIR Status • „Modularized Start Version“ Modules 0-5 • Re-reviewed in summer/autumn 2009 • Cost: 1027 M€ (2005 prices) formodules 0-3 • Financinginc. experimentcontributions: 1029 M€ • Physics pillars: • Atomic, Plasma and Applied Physics (APPA) • Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics and Reactions (NUSTAR) • Nuclear matter: CompressedBaryonic Matter (CBM) • Antiprotons: Proton Antiproton Darmstadt (Panda) • Facility for Low-Energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) – in module 4

12. Example: EPS SPIRAL2 Facility for the production and study of rare isotope radioactive beams SPIRAL2 is a new European facility to be built at GANIL laboratory in Caen, France. The project aims at delivering stable and rare isotope beams with intensities not yet available with present machines. SPIRAL2 will reinforce the European leadership in the field of nuclear physics based on exotic nuclei Construction costs: 196 M€ Operation costs: 6,6 M€/year Decommissioning costs: 10 M€

13. Example: EPS ELI Extreme Light Infrastructure ELI is devoted to scientific research in laser science, dedicated to the investigation and applications of laser-matter interaction at the highest intensity level As distributed facility, ELI will offer fascinating opportunities to a broad scientific community, e.g. for the study of photonuclear reactions and astrophysical applications Construction costs: 790 M€ Operation costs: 82 M€/year (for all three sites) Decommissioning costs: to be estimated

14. Prep Phase Projects sLHC Large Hadron Collider upgrade The sLHC project (super LHC) aims for a tenfold increase in luminosity for 14 TeV proton–proton collisions, achieved through the successive implementation of several new elements and technical improvements that are scheduled for 2013–2018 The sLHC-PP project will address crucial issues like the maturity of new technologies required for sLHC, solutions for critical safety issues

15. Prep Phase Projects TIARA Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area TIARA intends to integrate national and international accelerator R&D infrastructures into a single distributed European accelerator R&D facility The elaboration of the means and structures enabling the realization of the TIARA objectives will be carried out through the TIARA Preparatory Phase project

16. Prep Phase Projects ILC-HiGrade International Linear Collider and High Gradient Superconducting RF-Cavities One of the main objectives of this project is to create at least 24 accelerating cavities, superconducting components made of pure niobium for the planned International Linear Collider (ILC) Development of a possible organisa-tionand governance for the ILC as well as a detailed study on possible sites in Europe
