1. WP4 - Design Studies

2. Outline Status of FP6 Design Studies Consequences High power targets MICE Neutrino detector R&D FFAGs WDS Status

3. FP6 Design Studies ESGARD meeting 3 rd September – from Roy Aleksan Originally: 3 DS calls, November 2003, 2004, 2005 Now: 0 or 1 call if 1, autumn 2005, deadline spring 2006 Two reasons: - want to fund additional projects from round 1 70MEUR  90MEUR - big budget reduction (next I3: 60M  140M) Leaves 30-40MEUR for round 2 Only question: is it worth holding another DS for this! Possibility had been known for some time RA asked Brussels if new JRA in CARE possible Answers to both by end September

4. Joint Research Activities We are currently assuming a positive response ESGARD will review possible JRAs and select a few - NF - HIPPI - NED - HHH - LC - SRF - PHIN Call likely to be November Deadline March-April 2005 140MEUR

5. Joint Research Activities “The joint research activities aim to improve or enhance the service provided by [an existing infrastructure], in such a way that it could have widespread significance to a number of research communities in Europe. “Joint research activities should be innovative and explore new fundamental technologies or techniques underpinning the use of infrastructures by several research communities.” Aim of a JRA…….. Maximum 5MEUR from EC

New detector I3

7. Possibilities Would need to be as generic as possible - HIPPI Include: - solid & liquid targets - CNGS, T2K, NF, others……… No funding before 2006: - final construction, running, analysis of TT2A - analysis of solid tests - interpretation for target station - design of real target - design of TS - safety analysis Potential EU participants: Cranfield, Glasgow, RAL, Sheffield, CERN, NRG; FGES Roger has plans for CARE meeting, seminar tour High power target JRA

8. Possibilities Needs to have finances sorted out Needs careful selection of project: - upgrade of existing infrastructure - use by several research communities Possible projects from VP - MICE 0: high precision emittance measurement - RF: windows, in magnetic field? - efficient pulsed 200MHz RF power amp? - high T c SC magnets - others! Potential EU participants: lots! MICE/Front-end JRA

9. Possibilities CARE is accelerator R&D I3 Detector R&D I3 is also possible! In ESGARD: - Neutrino detectors - LHC upgrade - linear collider Seems too complex & impossible to organise in time Candidates should contact Roy! Is a Neutrino Detector R&D I3 possible? Detector R&D I3

10. FFAGs Japanese layout No cooling!

11. FFAGs US layout Much reduced cooling!

12. FFAGs Prototype for proton cancer therapy neutron production (BNCT)

13. FFAGs In addition 150MeV FFAG at Kyoto University to study ADS ion FFAG at National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba, for ion cancer therapy Mitsubishi: proton & ion FFAG for cancer therapy electron FFAG for CT scanning, industrial irradiation interest in UK for proton therapy & ion implantation PRISM at Osaka for rare muon decays proton upgrades at BNL, FNAL, KEK 10GeV electron FFAG at BNL for eRHIC LHC intensity upgrade (Almost) all scaling machines

14. Scaling vs Non-scaling Non-scaling: - smaller, simpler (cheaper) magnets - smaller circumference - smaller variation in orbit time with energy Problems: tune changes  resonances acceleration outside buckets Tune variation is rapid ( + muons make few turns) But this and other features must be tested Assessment of scaling and non-scaling for other appl.

15. e-model FFAG Plan: build electron model non-scaling FFAG - ~10 to ~20 MeV - 15-20m circumference If successful  major impact on accelerator physics EU needs more involvement in NF R&D UK needs to get more involved in FFAGs in general A lot of money for accelerator R&D in UK DL has electron injectors Build e-model at DL! Lots of enthusiasm from ASTeC Large group formed to do this: Canada, Europe, Japan, US Interest from IBA, starting to attract potential customers Will target specific EU labs UK FFAG

16. FFAGs in FP6 DS in 2005, probably too late New and Emerging Science and Technology - Insight - Pathfinder - Adventure Several possible candidate programmes: “Adventure projects are ‘visionary’ research projects, aiming to create and/or develop new opportunities for science and technology which could have a very high potential payoff in the long term, in particular in new interdisciplinary areas. They are identified by their characteristics of significant novelty, very high ambition and high impact.” Combating cancer Waste transmutation Clearly something EC is interested in funding Will take advice when FP6 situation is clearer It is also something EPSRC should be interested in!

17. WDS Status Not started yet - EU situation - Study 2a Plan is still to start “soon” At NuFact’04: - should set a long term goal for the NuFact series cost optimised Neutrino Factory - should set goals for each NuFact to reach this  WDS Aim to start discussion on this after Villars, Study 2a
