2. LARP CM13 - 04 Nov 2009Accelerator Systems Plans - T. MarkiewiczSlide n° 2 / 24 LARP Publications How to ensure that it be possible to collect a list of publications based on work partially funded by LARP? Why? Credit with the funding agency in same manner as any of the labs Eric will ask Fermilab library staff to comb through SPIRES, etc. to search for existing documents What can we do in the future to guarantee reference? DocDB? Acknowledgements? Other?

6. LARP CM13 - 04 Nov 2009Accelerator Systems Plans - T. MarkiewiczSlide n° 6 / 24 Accelerator Systems Funding Profile This as prelude to discussion Eric will lead during his talk Dinged by DOE Review Committee in July How to introduce placeholders to evidence ongoing rich program while not opening up “New Initiatives” process?

8. LARP CM13 - 04 Nov 2009Accelerator Systems Plans - T. MarkiewiczSlide n° 8 / 24 Committee on AS Funding Profile Findings Out year funding appears to decline in planning No precise activities in accelerator physics appear after 2012 Comments Does not appear to ensure return on investment Gives DoE a misleading indication of need for future high impact LHC research Many research thrusts are identified and examined each year One believes that at least a constant level of activity is likely LHC commissioning will indicate specific paths Do not squander opportunity to participate Recommendation Do not be shy about funding requests LARP has shown its worth Put place-holder in lieu of specific projects in far-future funding plans
