CARE06, 17 Nov 2006V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities BENE efforts for FP7 Please contact us and join to help FP7 is finally starting. A first FP7 call, for Design studies, is expected before the end of the year. Proposals will be due in April, a few months later. Approval could bring first funding at the beginnining of 2008 or so. A second call, for Integrating Activities, is expected Nov 07, with Mar 08 as a deadline, with first funding early 2009. This must contain NAs, TAs, JRAs, see below Next relevant calls 2009 !!! We should not be stalling for two more years !! We need the largest possible consensus and coherence. It will clearly not be easy to assemble all the conditions, support from CERN and National agencies and Laboratories, for successful bids. According to the recent ESGARD/CARE preliminary plan, see http://bene.web.cern.ch/bene/Working-groups_mandate.doc, BENE could file bids forhttp://bene.web.cern.ch/bene/Working-groups_mandate.doc Two Design Studies (DS): DS’s are studies of feasibility, to be carried out by a European collaboration, funded (presumably for about 1/3?) by EU and working in collaboration with international partners. Recent news are that the contribution from EC could be larger than originally indicated, as large as 5 M Euros, and R&D work could be included in addition to feasibility studied. NuFact&Superbeam Design Study Rob EdgecockRob Edgecock(RAL) and Marcos Dracos(IN2P3) have taken the responsibility to start a WG assembling a first skeleton of proposal to be presented at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). This was given good priority byMarcos Dracos ESGARD and is at the moment the most promising immediate option that we have. Betabeam Design Study A DS study is already in progress in the Eurisol framework. Mats Lindroos (CERN) has taken the task to explore within the present DS a first skeleton of a second phase proposal. At the moment, however, it appearsMats Lindroos that we will have to delay this to the later FP7 DS call. Mats will present his present thinking at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). Several Joint Research Activities (JRA), JRA’s are technical R&D projects on realization of key prototypes, demonstrations of performance and the like, to be carried out by a European collaboration, funded (presumably for about 1/3?) by EU and working in collaboration with international partners. Bids for JRA’s should take place within the framework of one of the Integrating Activities that ESGARD intends to promote. Many LOI’s have been received by ESGARD and more are coming. The task is now the one to select the ones to be actually proposed as JRA’s within Ia’s. At the moment, three IA’s are envisaged, but a different format is not excluded. A first meeting of the task force preparing these proposals took place at CERN on Oct 30. A brief summary of the state of each follows Presentations from the three coordinators will be presented at CARE06 on Thu Nov 16 afternoon. IA1- European proton accelerator R&D R. Garoby is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. The general theme is proton accelerator R&D, strengthening LHC and the CERN p complex. The total cost of related LOIs is well above 60 M, a reasonable goal is applying for 15 M from EU, with 45 M as total budget. Activities relevant for future neutrino beams would take place in the high power proton driver sector (a JRA being proposed in this area under the responsability of Garoby and collaborators). M. Zito/CEA and J. Pozimski /RAL and others will followM. ZitoJ. Pozimski this for BENE exploring also opportunities in the sector of Rapid Cycling Synchrothrons for neutrino applications (NB we need them to be truly rapid, 50 Hz eventually, and therefore NC!).) and target sector (where a WP on high power targetry & collection can be envisaged within a JRA on high power and radiation deposition in materials, chiefly motivated by the R&D for a high quality collimators for LHC). C. DenshamC. Densham/RAL and M. Dracos/IN2P3 have taken the charge of establishing contacts with all EU experts, in and out of the particle physicsM. Dracos community, in particular the CERN CNGS and ISOLDE experts, and to try to define the content of such a WP. CARE06 in Frascati should help these contacts. A Networking Activity (NA) containing a fraction of BENE areas of interest could be accommodated in this IA. Transnational Access options have not yet been seriously considered yet. IA2-Novel accelerating techniques E. Jensen is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. This is much less advanced than IA1 The total cost of related LOIs is 85 M. It has to be reduced dramatically. The leitmotif of the IA is strenghtening CTF3. But strengthening "our" new RAL muon facility could be part of it too. A MICE JRA is being prepared by K. Kyberd and A. Blondel. A JRA on FFAG’s appears negotiable, if downsized. Francois Meot (IN2P3/CEA) has accepted the task, in collaboration with R. Edgecock,Francois Meot S. Machida and other experts of pushing this within the team preparing this IA proposal. Discussion at CARE06 should prove very instrumental. No discussion on any Networking Activity (NA) or Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA. IA3 Superconducting RF (SCRF) accelerators R&D: O. Napoly is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. This is also less advanced than IA1. The total cost of related LOIs is 31 M, with more big ones still coming. One is a JRA for a big RF testing facility. A JRA on 200 Mhz muon acceleration cavities could be accommodated in this. R&D on p acceleration cavity may instead go to WG1, will see Rebecca Saviour of Lancaster has accepted to be BENE’s RF expert that will foster BENE interests in this IA.Rebecca Saviour Discussion at CARE06 should again prove very instrumental. No discussion on Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA. Olivier has in mind a single large SCRF NA. Finally, outside the framework of CARE, we intend to propose also a neutrino detector test facility at CERN. Paul SolerPaul Soler will be in charge of fostering this in connection with the BENE steering group. The right FP7 framework will have to identified, while contacts begin, starting with the (few !) neutrino physicists left at CERN. Timeline At CARE06 we will plan work on all of this. Design Studies being the most urgent priority. Deadline is April, remember! A detailed calendar will be issued. We already know that one next major appointment will be a meeting on the transition from the International Scoping Study (ISS) to the International Design studi(es), the IDS’s. This will be Feb 19-21 at CERN. This will focus on our plans in the frame of our international collaboration with pur US, Japanese, Indian collaborators. That clearly we need to harmonise with our FP7 plans.

Sensitivities are compared with a 50 GeV Neutrino Factory producing 2  10 20  decays/straight section/year, and two 40 kton detectors at 3000 and 7000 km Comparable merits : NuFact somewhat better and more versatile for ν oscillations Megaton offers sinergy with N decay and more NB conclusions highly preliminary based on still not well agreed yardsticks must now be re-scrutinized much more in depth (ISS) !!!

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities Betabeam + MegatonNuFact + LMD are complementary !!!!!!!!!!! each has merits unaccesible to the other (matter effects, CP, T, CPT violation, p decay, astroph. & cosmology.. ) by means of truely international collaboration we could and should aim at having both facilities A general remark and we must push both very actively catch opportunities wherever they emerge seriously aim at building one in Europe in the “construction window” ! !

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities Further caveat Intermediate solutions also emerging ! Higher energy and higher rate betabeams heading to detectors at intermediate distances thou technically more difficult ( beta acceleration in new higher energy SPS or LHC !) do deserve very careful attention

Accelerator: -- proton driver (energy, time structure and consequences) -- target and capture (chose target and capture system) -- phase rotation and cooling -- acceleration and storage evaluate economic interplays and risks include a measure of costing and safety assessment (A.Blondel) (Y. Nagashima) (M. Zisman) P. Dornan NB BetaBeam included The three sectors of SS (andDS)

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities (US, Japan, CERN&RAL) holds the key to any superbeam !!! tests the single shot behavior at MMW driver of target and collection (solenoid, horn?) should make that more known better supported and manned should evolve that into a MMW target and collector Test Area? The most crucial experiment for the future of the ν can we master the MMW? The MERIT ( nTof 11) experiment

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities One crucial task of BENE in the ISS year assemble a real EDS (Eu DesignStudy) collaboration !!!!! that will sign and provide the manpower & largest part of the funds, matching funds, for a FP7 bid able to have the blessing of ECFA and good odds of approval in Brussels. find the synthesis of so far not obviously converging interests CERN, INFN, CCLRC, IN2P3, CEA, PPARC, CSIC, Germany?, Belgium, NIKHEF, everybody CERN positive attitude towards the ISS and BENE’s initiative willingness to assemble a small ISS task force will no doubt greatly help a few fractions of FTE can make an impact
