ESGARD meeting 3ESGARD meeting 3rdrd September – from Roy Aleksan September – from Roy Aleksan

• Originally: 3 DS calls, November 2003, 2004, 2005

• Now: 0 or 1 call if 1, autumn 2005, deadline spring 2006

• Two reasons:- want to fund additional projects from round 170MEUR 90MEUR - big

budget reduction (next I3: 60M 140M)

• Leaves 30-40MEUR for round 2

• Only question: is it worth holding another DS for this!

• Possibility had been known for some time

• RA asked Brussels if new JRA in CARE possible

Answers to both by end SeptemberAnswers to both by end September

Joint Research ActivitiesJoint Research Activities

• We are currently assuming a positive response

• ESGARD will review possible JRAs and select a few - NF - HIPPI - NED

- HHH- LC- SRF- PHIN

• Call likely to be November

• Deadline March-April 2005

• 140MEUR

Joint Research ActivitiesJoint Research Activities

“The joint research activities aim to improve or enhance the service provided by [an existing infrastructure], in such a way that

it could have widespread significance to a number of research communities in Europe.

“Joint research activities should be innovative and explore new fundamental technologies or techniques underpinning the use of

infrastructures by several research communities.”

• Aim of a JRA……..

• Maximum 5MEUR from EC

NEST, etc

?

New detector I3

PossibilitiesPossibilities

• Would need to be as generic as possible - HIPPI

• Include:- solid & liquid targets- CNGS, T2K, NF, others………

• No funding before 2006:- final construction, running, analysis of TT2A- analysis of solid tests- interpretation for target station- design of real target- design of TS -

safety analysis

• Potential EU participants: Cranfield, Glasgow, RAL,Sheffield, CERN, NRG; FGES

• Roger has plans for CARE meeting, seminar tour

High power target JRAHigh power target JRA

PossibilitiesPossibilities

• Needs to have finances sorted out

• Needs careful selection of project:- upgrade of existing infrastructure -

use by several research communities

• Possible projects from VP - MICE 0: high precision emittance measurement - RF: windows, in magnetic field? - efficient pulsed 200MHz RF power amp? - high Tc SC magnets

- others!

• Potential EU participants: lots!

MICE/Front-end JRAMICE/Front-end JRA

PossibilitiesPossibilities

• CARE is accelerator R&D I3

• Detector R&D I3 is also possible!

• In ESGARD:- Neutrino detectors -

LHC upgrade - linear collider

• Seems too complex & impossible to organise in time

• Candidates should contact Roy!

• Is a Neutrino Detector R&D I3 possible?

US layout

Much reduced cooling!

FFAGsFFAGs

Prototype for proton cancer therapy neutron production (BNCT)

FFAGsFFAGs

In additionIn addition

• 150MeV FFAG at Kyoto University to study ADS

• ion FFAG at National Institute of RadiologicalSciences, Chiba, for ion cancer therapy

• Mitsubishi: proton & ion FFAG for cancer therapyelectron FFAG for CT scanning, industrial

irradiation

• interest in UK for proton therapy & ion implantation

• PRISM at Osaka for rare muon decays

• proton upgrades at BNL, FNAL, KEK

• 10GeV electron FFAG at BNL for eRHIC

• LHC intensity upgrade

(Almost) all scaling machines(Almost) all scaling machines

Scaling vs Non-scalingScaling vs Non-scaling

• Non-scaling: - smaller, simpler (cheaper) magnets - smaller circumference - smaller variation in orbit time with energy

• Problems: tune changes resonances acceleration outside buckets

• Tune variation is rapid ( + muons make few turns)

• But this and other features must be tested

• Assessment of scaling and non-scaling for other appl.

e-model FFAGe-model FFAG

• Plan: build electron model non-scaling FFAG- ~10 to ~20 MeV- 15-20m circumference

• If successful major impact on accelerator physics

• EU needs more involvement in NF R&D

• UK needs to get more involved in FFAGs in general

• A lot of money for accelerator R&D in UK

• DL has electron injectors

Build e-model at DL!Build e-model at DL!

• Lots of enthusiasm from ASTeC

• Large group formed to do this: Canada, Europe, Japan, US

• Interest from IBA, starting to attract potential customers

• Will target specific EU labs

UK FFAG

FFAGs in FP6FFAGs in FP6

• DS in 2005, probably too late

• New and Emerging Science and Technology- Insight- Pathfinder- Adventure

Several possible candidate programmes:Several possible candidate programmes:

“Adventure projects are ‘visionary’ research projects, aiming to create and/or develop new opportunities for science and technology which could have a very high potential payoff in

the long term, in particular in new interdisciplinary areas. They are identified by their characteristics of significant novelty,

very high ambition and high impact.”

• Combating cancer

• Waste transmutation

• Clearly something EC is interested in funding

• Will take advice when FP6 situation is clearer

• It is also something EPSRC should be interested in!

WDS StatusWDS Status

• Not started yet- EU situation -

Study 2a

• Plan is still to start “soon”

• At NuFact’04:- should set a long term goal for the NuFact series

cost optimised Neutrino Factory- should set goals for each NuFact to reach this

• WDS

• Aim to start discussion on this after Villars, Study 2a
