1. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole ASTeC Research Strategy Mike Poole Director

2. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole ASTeC Strategic Objectives Establish and consolidate UK core accelerator skills base –leadership and advice to stakeholders Ensure international competitiveness –(people + programme) Develop future LSF –(advice, design, prototype, construction) Promote suitable CCLRC activities (DL + RAL) Pursue underpinning technology –(inc. experiments) Encourage collaborations –(AIs + HEIs + international)

3. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Key Elements Underpinning design studies Beam dynamics simulations New technology demonstration Advanced beam test facilities Major networking with HEIs and overseas laboratories Knowledge transfer Recruitment

4. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Programme Outline Project support ERLP FETS MICE 4GLS ILC NF SRS DIAMOND XFEL FAIR Underpinning generic studies Types Gun linac ERL synchrotron storage ring FFAG BTS Categories Conceptual (and Technical) Design Studies Beam dynamics and Radiation Sources Technologies - magnetics, RF diagnostics vacuum science collimation and dumps

5. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Extrapolated SR02 funds = £6M over 3 years Policy decision: 25% on LC programme: £1.5M of which £500k available to promote HEI studies LC-ABD support to be demonstrated Priority to synergetic activities (eg Light Sources) Agreed joint work packages with HEIs: –Collimation –Longitudinal bunch diagnostics –BPM R&D ASTeC Funded LC Programme

6. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole ASTeC Funded Work Packages (3 year) 1. Collimation (ASTeC/Lancaster) wake field simulations + experiments £500k (inc RA) 2. Temporal Profile (ASTeC/Abertay) electro-optic developments (+ small SP support) ultrafast laser for tests £600k (inc RA) 3. Advanced BPMs (ASTeC/Cambridge/UCL) use in high precision spectrometry £250k (inc RA) 4. Access to Test Beams at SLAC (All groups) £100k support costs on ESA NB CCLRC also funds international advisory panel and travel administration

7. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole EU Programmes Previous FP5: EUFELE RF Cavity* FP6 I3 contracts: HIPPI ELAN PHIN FP6 awards:EuroTeVEUROFEL * Officially completed NB Major problem of overhead recovery FP7 presents major challenges

8. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Underpinning R&D Laser based accelerator systems (with CLF and HEIs) Novel magnet systems (with EID and HEIs) Vacuum science research collaborations (inc MMU contract) Advanced RF technology (with HEIs) ca £500k pa staff costs (70% ASTeC) NB This excludes generic R&D elements of funded project programmes

9. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Planned ASTeC Income 05/06 TOTAL ~ £8M

10. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Planned ASTeC Expenditure 05/06

11. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Long Term Investment Priorities Sustainable skill base Funding of prototypes Integrated SRF design/construction/testing facility Build and operate e-FFAG Model (on ERLP) Construct e and p Accelerator Test Facilities (DL + RAL) Ramp up R&D funding prior to Capital Facility NB All of these involve HEI collaboration and cross-Council interests

12. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Proposed SRF Technology Initiative Maturity and applicability of superconducting RF systems including 4GLS and ILC - potential major UK role Demanding superconducting RF infrastructure Integrated design, build and test (HP) - nowhere in Europe ! Collaboration ASTeC/HEIs/Industry/Faraday Partnership/NWDA Exploit Daresbury infrastructure Unsuccessful bids to PPARC (£10M ?)

13. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Proposed site for EMMA: e-FFAG Model Build for £4M ?

14. Cockcroft/ASTeC Joint Workshop Jan 06 M W Poole Issues Training Prototype Funding Infrastructure Collaborations Publications
