3. Interim Report from the ILC Panel
“Summary of Discussions” released by the ILC Advisory Panel (August 2015)
Recommendation 1: Share the cost internationally and Find a clear vision on the discovery potential of new particles.
Recommendation 2: Closely monitor and analyze the development of the LHC experiments and Mitigate cost risk.
Recommendation 3: Obtain general understanding by the public and science communities.
It is extremely important to respond to these recommendations in an appropriate manner in 1.5 year time frame to get real progress from the Japanese Government. It is KEK’s priority to do these with the international partners.

4. KEK’s efforts to actualize ILC (1)
WG1: Public relations
Contributions to “LC NewsLine”
“ILC physics brochure” in Japanese
Collaboration with AAA; Science Kitty goods, and so on.
WG2: Accounting ILC to scientists in the other discipline
Panel discussion on “ILC and role of Japan” at Isotope and Radiation Research Meeting.
ILC presentations and symposium at Academic Lectures of Japan Society of Applied Physics.
Lectures at a meeting of Atomic Energy Society of Japan.
…and presentations and seminars at O(20) universities.
WG3: Spin-off effects of having ILC in Japan
“Why having ILC in Japan is good” must be clearly described to journalists and everybody in Japan.
“Spin-off effects of ILC 2016” has been publicized by this WG.
Nobel prize, hub of human knowledge, human resource development, industries, innovations, etc.

5. KEK’s efforts to actualize ILC (2)
WG4: Potential nuclear and hadron physics program at ILC
Have communicated with the Japanese nuclear physics community, and
WG5: International action plans
A document describing roadmap between governmental green light and actual start of the construction.
KEK’s action plan was publicized in January 2016, which has to be extended to the international action plan.
A working group for the European action plan has started.
WG6: Clarification of scientific impact of ILC
One of the recommendations in the ILC advisory panel, “Find a clear vision on the discovery potential of new particles” was given, partly because the panel has not been convinced with the scientific raison d'etre of ILC. We need to provide far better and understandable justification to the panel.
Close collaboration with the LCC physics working group
“Presentable draft” will be discussed at this Morioka workshop.

7. Our reactions to the recommendations
Advisory panel recommendations once more:
Recommendation 1: Share the cost internationally and Find a clear vision on the discovery potential of new particles.
Recommendation 2: Closely monitor and analyze the development of the LHC experiments and Mitigate cost risk.
Recommendation 3: Obtain general understanding by the public and science communities.
WG1, 2, 3 and 4
Surely will do.
WG6
NRI’s survey pointed out some potential problems of the TDR design. Need to work on them.
International physics communities are urged to work with your funding agencies and governments.

8. US-Japan Discussion Group
US and Japan have a long history (37 years!) of successful collaboration based on the governmental framework. This will be one of the keys to develop government level consensus on the ILC project.
Government officers from MEXT visited their counterparts in DOE at the end of May 2016, and it was agreed to start the US-Japan discussion group co-chaired by DOE and MEXT.
Agenda of the discussion includes “Possibilities of collaborative research for cost reduction”.

9. 1. Cost reduction in Nb material preparation
Optimize the ingot purity with a lower residual resistivity ratio (RRR).
Simplify the manufacturing method such as forging, rolling, slicing and tube forming.

Goal 1: Establish the ILC final focus method with same optics and comparable beamline tolerances
ATF2 Goal : 37 nm  ILC 6 nm
Achieved 41 nm (2016)
Goal 2: Develop a few nm position stabilization for the ILC collision

(target: < 300 nsec)
positon jitter at IP: 410  67 nm (2015) (limited by the BPM resolution)

We continue efforts to achieve goal 1 and goal 2.

18. Message for the real progress of ILC to happen
Next 1.5 years will be critical for ILC to get green light from the Japanese Government. We maximally consolidate our efforts to optimize chances to get real progress in this time scale.
International physics communities are requested to talk with their funding agencies and/or governments to express their enthusiasm for ILC, and submit official proposals to the governments requesting for review processes, etc.
