1. What Should We Do?

2. Some Formal Points The duration of the project will be 4 years
The request for EU funding needs to be reduced
The number of JRAs needs to be reduced
Suggested is to merge at least LED, EUROdrive and High Gradient
Will give more flexibility in distribution of resources
From ILC, a number of additional requests to extend the FP7 bids came in late
Will be integrated where they fit
But request already has been too large
Firm commitments are to be made before end of September

3. EUROdrive Topics 1) Drive beam phase feedback system
2) Drive beam alignment and tuning procedures
3) Breakdown measurements in CTF3
High Gradient
4) CLIC machine protection system
Also GADGET
5) Main beam simulation studies
Very low level of resources
6) Longitudinal bunch profile measurements

4. LED Topics 1) Demonstrate main linac quadrupole stability
2) Explore sub nanometer stability for final doublet quadrupoles
3) Characterise the noise of different machine components in CTF3
add ATF2, but needs not be part of FP7
4) Develop ultra-fast transverse feedback system
What needs to be done beyond FONT?
5) Main beam luminosity studies.
Very small amount of resources

5. LED Topics II
6) Determination of requirements for IP instrumentation, stabilisation and feedback
It is not clear how this can be tied to CTF3. Possible if small request of resources.
7) Test of girder and quadrupole alignment equipment with beam
8) Accelerating structure alignment on the girders and to the beam
9) Development of fast beamstrahlung and beam energy monitors that can resolve the beam pulse
10) Crab cavity development and tests in CTF3

6. LED Topics III 11) Laser wire
12) Design of alternative ILC interaction regions
Could be integrated but hard to justify resource requests
13) Beam dumps
Were not in the scope of the LED JRA, mainly looks like engineering

7. Combined Topic List 1) Drive beam phase feedback
Mainly address the phase monitor
2) Longitudinal profile monitor
to be coordinated with GADGET
3) Beam tuning studies
mainly focus on the drive beam
maybe can add a little for ATF2
Need to fit program development in
4) Machine protection
mainly focus on loss monitors
can integrate some simulations

8. Combined Topic List II 5) Demonstration of 1nm stability in main linac
6) Sub-nanometer stability for final doublet
7) Precision alignment equipment
8) Accelerating structure mechanical alignment
9) Crab cavities
10) Laser wire
11) Supporting simulation studies
I consider this vital
Can include design
Will probably get limited funding

9. New Topic List III
11) Things from the seperate lists that are well enough supported
Fast feedback
Luminosity monitoring
Beam dump
12) High gradient and precision topics

10. Next Steps Programme must be established before beginning of September
Firm commitments need to be made before end of September
Need more formal approach
Everyone is to provide a description of their contribution
Requested resources must be specified
Matching funds must be specified (>2*request)
Indication of level of certainty
We will send out a template
Will need to reduce requests soon
Make sure that yours are registered in time

11. Other Points Organisation into JRAs and tasks will need to be done
But should be relatively transparent for the work
The formal contacts in your laboratory need to be prepared
The reporting will later be based on a scientific and an administrative path
We should meet in person
Presentations at CARE meeting (September 10)
Maybe use time of CLIC meeting (October 16-18) for technical preparation of the bids

12. Required Information Fill in the template as soon as possible
If you have questions contact us
First selection will be made on matching funds
Make sure you can bring a firm commitment as soon as possible
The programme needs to be well defined
Objectives will be required
Work description will also be required
In activities involving several partners this may take a bit more time
Still be quick with the commitment confirmation
