Marx panel recommendation July 2006 “ A major challenge for the accelerator science community is to identify and develop new concepts for future energy frontier accelerators that will be able to provide the exploration tools needed for HEP within a feasible cost to society. The future of accelerator-based HEP will be limited unless new ideas and new accelerator directions are developed to address the demands of beam energy and luminosity and consequently the management of beam power, energy recovery, accelerator power, size, and cost. ”
