  2. CLOUD Common Fund • One single account in use: CERN Team account T299584 • Covers Maintenance and Operation of the CLOUD Facility at the T11 beam-line at CERN • Gas supplies and gas systems • Thermal systems, including temperature measurements • HV system • UV systems • Sampling probes, optical ports • Central DAQ • Used also to cover modifications and minor upgrades to the above systems, to adapt them to different CLOUD measurement setups and objectives. • As agreed in the 1st CLOUD FRC meeting (25 May 2012) the present annual contributions to the Common Fund are 50 kEuro and 20 kEuro for category 1 and 2 institutes respectively. 2nd FRC meeting, Antti Onnela, CERN-PH-DT

  6. CLOUD Common Fund in 2012 and 2013 • Common Fund balance at end of 2012: - 577 kEuro (-704’111.41 CHF) • In early 2012 this was projected to be ~ -400 kEuro. • Contributions: 310 kEuro • 60 kEuro less than projected. • Expenditures: 506 kEuro • 116 kEuro more than projected. • Especially gas system costs substantially higher than earlier expected. • Common Fund in 2013: • Projected contributions: 390 kEuro • Until now received: 280 kEuro • Projected expenditures: 348 kEuro • Until now spent or committed: ~ 230 kEuro (283’635.34 CHF on 29 October 2013) 2nd FRC meeting, Antti Onnela, CERN-PH-DT

  7. Towards end of 2013 • Common Fund in 2013: • Projected contributions: 390 kEuro • Until now received: 280 kEuro • Projected expenditures: 348 kEuro • Until now spent or committed: ~ 230 kEuro (284 kCHF) • Missing contributions from: • IONICON, Austria: 20 kEuro (+20 kE for 2012) • University of Leeds, UK: 20 kEuro • University of Manchester, UK: 20 kEuro • Caltech, USA: 20 kEuro (+20 kE for 2012) • Carnegie Mellon University, USA: 20 kEuro • Lisbon universities, Portugal: 10 kEuro • Major cost items for the last 2 months of 2013 (on-going CLOUD8 run): • Gas supplies: ~30 kEuro • Adaptations for the CLOUDy run in Nov: ~30 kEuro These CLOUD partners are urged to pay their contributions within 2013. 2nd FRC meeting, Antti Onnela, CERN-PH-DT

  8. Summary • Until 2012 the CLOUD expenditures were clearly more than the contributions. At end of 2012 the total debt to CERN was 577 kEuro. • CLOUD collaboration is very grateful to CERN for the support – and patience – it has received. • In 2013 the expenditures have reduced leading to a better yearly budget balance. • But, this holds through 2013 only if the missing contributions are paid! • Budget-wise 2014 expected to be similar to 2013. • For the moment, 2015 onwards no budgets planned for CLOUD facility modifications/upgrades. Re-start of PSI contributions will further help. • The current contribution levels of 50 kEuro and 20 kEuroneed to be maintained in the coming years, until the debt is paid. 2nd FRC meeting, Antti Onnela, CERN-PH-DT
