ESGARD - 19th May 06 • Very brief summary! • 32 LOIs received
ESGARD - 19th May 06 • In total: - CNI 2 - DS 5 - JRA 24 - TA 1 - Cost 249M€+? • Too many/much: must be reduced! • ESGARD will - combine overlapping LOIs - clarify some - call for talks (at CARE06?) - prioritise • Priorities must be consistent with CERN SG • 1st idea (not discussed or agreed): - proton related I3 - LC (CLIC+ILC) I3
What about us? Four areas of work identified: • Feasibility study • Accelerator R&D • Detector R&D • Physics
Feasibility Study • Obvious match to DS • Worry is priority • But……… - ESGARD acknowledges FP6 problem - ILC care mainly about CNI - DS’s are only small now • Need to persuade Roy/ESGARD
Accelerator R&D 3(+) possbilities • Neutrino I3 (inc. FS & detector R&D) - priority will be a problem (3rd out of 3?) - how many PP I3’s will EU approve? - best way, if successful - most likely way of getting nothing! • JRAs in proton I3 - 1st priority - number of JRAs limited - would need careful negotiation to maximise - other programmes for lost JRAs - SCRF CNI-R&D: 200&700MHz SC RF - CNI-R&D: target test facility, MICE, etc? - oncology: FFAGs • JRAs in a neutron + muon I3?
Detector R&D + Physics • Neutrino detector I3? - precedent exists (EUDET?) - later round than CARE - not in ESGARDs remit - EU may ask ESGARD/ECFA anyway - need ESGARD-independent advice - other possibilities? - astro-particle rather than PP? • FP7: * Cooperation * People * Capacities – Research Infrastructures * Ideas – ERC: research projects at science frontiers
Detector R&D + Physics • Physics? - do we need funding? - is BENE enough?
For me......for accel. R&D….. • Neutrino I3 is too risky • Need to know more about ERC and other programmes • Proton I3: focus more on technology than science • Has already worked: - HIPPI - EMMA - RACCAM - (MERIT) - (Beta beam) • Exception: MICE – but this been a struggle in EU
Next Step • Need clear definition of R&D required to - determine scale of problem - prioritise - see where it may fit - start negotiations - prepare good presentation for ESGARD
