3. The HADRON proposal for the first time brings together the European communities of hadron physicists working with the different types of probes. It involves the 8 premier facilities in Europe providing medium- to high-energy beams of electrons, photons, hadrons (mainly protons) and heavy ions, together with 2 supercomputer centres. The proposal deals with access to these facilities, development of hardware for ongoing and future research projects and the related high-speed computing. It represents a coherent effort of a large community, some 2000 researchers from 135 institutions. This community did not apply in FP5. This physics topic and the related facilities are for the first time requesting support in FP6. From the Evaluation Summary Report: Foreword

8. Activity Number Short description and specific objectives of the activity A1 Access to InfrastructureLaboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) The Frascati National Laboratories are the major Italian facility for particle and nuclear physics and one of the most important in Europe. They offer to the European scientific community the high luminosity DA NE -factory, and facilities for particle and nuclear physics (rare kaon decays, standard model, hypernuclear physics, exotic atoms), test beams, synchrotron light and accelerator developments. A2 Access to InfrastructureDESY-HERMES DESY Laboratory presently operates HERA, the only collider machine in the world that can accelerate leptons and protons at the same time. The HERMES facility uses the electron (or positron) beam of HERA and a nucleon target, both operated in spin-polarized modes. The access to the DESY-HERMES facility will allow to study the spin structure of the nucleon. A3 Access to Infrastructure FZJ- COSY The Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), is one of the national research institutions in Germany. FZJ embeds the Institute für Kernphysik (IKP), which operates the cooler synchrotron and storage ring COSY, a machine for the study of hadronic interactions in the medium energy region. COSY has four internal facilities and three facilities installed at the external target stations. A4 Access to Infrastructure FZJ-NIC/ZAM FZJ owns one of Europes newest and most powerful supercomputer facility, operated by the Central Institute for Applied Mathematics (ZAM). The John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC), a joint foundation of FZJ and DESY, is responsible for the selection of scientific projects which use the supercomputer resources, in particular for the lattice QCD community. A5 Access to InfrastructureGSI GSI is one of the most important European laboratories, operating an accelerators complex, the heavy- ion synchrotron SIS for hadron and nuclear matter research. They have been recently approved for a new European accelerator facility, with a world unique cooled antiproton beam, for studies of hadron spectroscopy and hadrons properties in nuclear matter, and with intense ion beams, to explore the high- density/low-temperature regime of nuclear matter.

9. A6 Access to InfrastructureMAMI The University of Mainz operates one of the most important nuclear physics laboratories in Europe to study the structure of hadrons, running the continuous wave electron accelerator MAMI. MAMI is being upgraded in its energy range, and it can be rivaled in the world only by CEBAF at the Jefferson laboratory in USA, which operates in a complementary energy range. A7 Access to InfrastructureZIB The Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin (ZIB) offers its state-of-the-art data storage system. This offer of access follows a requirement of the European computational hadron physics community, working in Lattice Gauge Theory and Computational QCD. A8 Access to InfrastructureMAXLAB MAXLAB is a Swedish National Laboratory for nuclear physics research, applied physics and for research in accelerator physics. An upgrade of the accelerator system to increase its energy is ongoing. The new facility is scheduled to begin operating in Spring 2004 and will deliver a nearly continuous electron beam of high quality. In combination with a new tagging system, MAXLAB will become a unique real photon facility in the low energy range. A9 Access to InfrastructureThe Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) in Uppsala is a Swedish national facility for accelerator-based fundamental research in nuclear physics and applied physics, operating, for hadron physics researches, the CELSIUS cooler and storage ring.

29. ROAD MAP to prepare the Annual Report of the HadronPhysics I3 Project

30. The spokespersons of the 29 activities will collect the full information - scientific and financial – from the group leaders of the organizations participating to the activities and transfer it into the template. Each spokesperson will be followed by a member of the Management Board acting as Advisor. The Coordinator with his Management Team and the Management Board will finalize the Annual Report after collecting the completed templates for each activity. The Annual Report will be sent to the Contractors. The last step will consist in a meeting of the Governing Board of the Consortium for the formal approval of the Annual Report before its submission to the EC. P R O C E D U R E

31. 8 December 2004 sharp. Deadline for the spokespersons to deliver to the Management Board the Annual Report on each activity. 17 December 2004 Management Board meeting, in which the whole information received from the spokespersons will be discussed. 18 December 2004 – mid January 2005 Within this month, the Coordinator, the Management Board and the Management Team will implement the scientific and financial information for all the contractors. The final output will be the Annual Report, to be given to the representatives of the Contractors. End January 2005 Meeting of the Governing Board to formally approve the Annual Report.
