Réunion GDE France LAL/Orsay ESGARD et FP7 Réunion GDE France LAL/Orsay F. Richard LAL/Orsay 27 mars 2006

Meeting ESGARD du 27/2/06 Participants: R.Aleksan(CEA), R.Edgecock (CCLRC), S.Guiducci (INFN-LNF), G.Guignard (CERN), F.Richard (IN2P3-Orsay), D.Trines (DESY). Contributions - GG projet d’activités type I3 - FR résume de la conférence téléphonique EGDE proposant une nouvelle installation RF supra au CERN Actions: - Un document envoyé au SG rappelant les objectifs d’ESGARD - RA encourage l’envoi de LoI (CARE2 etc…) avant le 28 avril au SG (mais pb deadline du 15 mars) en préparation de Zeuthen F. Richard LAL/Orsay 27 mars 2006

A Bangalore Un texte destiné au SG est préparé pour la deadline du 15 mars Il est envoyé au SG sous couvert de: Albrecht Wagner Chair, TESLA Technology Collaboration Lettre approuvée par M. Aguilar, S. Bertolucci, B. Foster, R. Petronzio, M. Spiro and G. Wormser F. Richard LAL/Orsay 27 mars 2006

Extraits The optimization of the fabrication and production process of the future generation of SC RF modules, especially for the ILC, is the key goal of the proposed program, which will encompass the following components high quality cavities; high power couplers, High-Order Mode couplers; tuners; embedded magnet package; Beam Position Monitors (BPM) cryostat vessel F.

clean rooms and surface preparation facilities for ultra-high vacuum. A unique opportunity opens as the facilities developed at CERN for LEP and for LHC become gradually available from 2008. These include: expertise in RF technology, cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum, material engineering and surface preparation; cryogenics installation and some of the LHC magnet test and measurement benches; clean rooms and surface preparation facilities for ultra-high vacuum. For all the reasons above, we intend to propose to build and operate such a new infrastructure in the EU FP7 program by a collaboration of all interested European laboratories. Your support for this project to both ESFRI and EU is essential to allow Europe to maintain his currently leading role in the key SCRF technology. F. Richard LAL/Orsay 27 mars 2006

Budget, dates A first estimate yields an amount of 30-50 M€. Taking advantage that the FP7 will, for the first time, allow the possibility of funding a new infrastructure, we intend to send a Letter of Intent to EU by the end of the year 2006, and make a firm proposal early 2007 aiming for EU FP7 resources allocation early 200 F. Richard LAL/Orsay 27 mars 2006

Quelle suite ? Il est prévu une réunion EGDE à DESY le 10 mai (donc après Zeuthen) Question: faut-il également envoyer à RA une LoI concernant des demandes pour un JRA SC dans CARE2 ? CARE2 ne passe pas par ESFRI mais viendrait en complément de l’initiative AW SC CARE 11-12 avril Paris Quid d’un EUROTEV2 ? F. Richard LAL/Orsay 27 mars 2006

FP7 The tentative chronology of FP7 is the following: 6 April 2005 Proposal of the FP7 programme 21 Sept 2005 Specific programme proposals June 2006 Adoption of the programme November 2006 First calls for proposals (I3 calls usually first) January 2007 Launch conference March 2007 First probable dead-line F.
