Steering & CouncilSC discussed the overall status of the GDE(see later). Much of what we discussed willbe covered either in my own talk or in thesubsequent ones.
The UK involvement in the concept studieswas discussed and it was agreed that we needto be more visibly involved in these - althoughwe are of course very much in the forefrontof developing the technology. We didn’t finishthis discussion & will continue over lunch andpossibly at LCWS.

Steering & Council
Liverpool has volunteered to look into hostingthe next meeting - the tentative date wouldbe within the week 24th-28th September,preferably 24th-25th. The date will beannounced as soon as possible. Format wasdiscussed.G. Moorgat-Pick wants to get an outreachevent going within the next few months. Agroup was formed which will report atthe IoP 1/2-day meeting in Oxford onMay 23rd.

Vancouver meeting
GDE meeting held in parallel with ALC meeting in July. First examination of the RDR design in full and cost estimate. The RDR design until that point had concentrated on achieving required functionality and little on cost.
Post Vancouver the effortconcentrated on understanding the cost drivers and making design mods to simplifythe machine and to make it cheaper.

Valencia Meeting Very important meeting at Valencia inNovember - more than 400 participants in parallel with ECFA Study. Several very useful joint sessions to discuss areas ofcommon interest between experimentersand machine.
Because some of the changes being contemplated impact on the ILC parameters, the Scope Group chaired by RolfHeuer was reactivated and met during themeeting. It is working closely with GDE EC.

RDR reception RDR was presented at a press conference in Beijing in February. There was substantial coverage in US and Asian newspapers and specialist journals; in Europe coverage spotty -substantial in Germany - in UK limited to specialist journals. The tone of the articles was generally positive. Seemed to be acceptance that scaleof project roughly similar to ITER andLHC (taking previous infrastructure intoaccount).

RDR reception
Not much reaction from governments. “No news is good news”?FALC chair “welcomed” RDR & costing.
Brian Foster - LCUK
21
RDR reception
Ray Orbach (DoE undersecretary for science)remarks to HEPAP.
Not helpful! Currently no major increase in next 2 fiscal year HEP budgets in US - but substantial transfer into ILC R&D.
Brian Foster - LCUK
22
Beyond the RDR Post-Beijing period will be dominated by politics, outreach, reviews etc, probably for at least 6 months. MAC meeting to reviewR&D plan at Fermilab 26th-27th April.
Essential that momentum in the project maintained during this period and goodstart to next phase - Engineering Design.
ICFA & ILCSC has accepted the RDR at Beijing. An international costing review isnow being set up and will take place in Orsayfrom 24th-26th May.
Brian Foster - LCUK
23
What is the EDR?
Basic full design of the ILC based on engineering drawings and a WBS that can bereliably costed and risk analysed in detail. Will fulfill governmental requirements forconstruction approval. Input to “2010 summit” for ILC decision.
Details and full scope under discussion - butthe EDR will still require ~2 years furtherdevelopment before ground can be brokensomewhere.
Brian Foster - LCUK
24
How to deliver EDR Several considerations, both external (cfITER, X-FEL) and internal (rate of growthof ILC design effort) point to an increaseof around 2-3 in current effort, both insideGDE (“central design group”) and outside(the workers) being necessary to producean EDR by 2010.
Seems unlikely, and probably undesirable,that such an increase can be achieved undercurrent paradigm of ad-hoc assignment fromlabs & relatively uncoordinated R&D.
Brian Foster - LCUK
25
How to deliver EDR
Engineering Design Phase will be organisedin work packages managed by a Project Manager and a PM team.
Executive Committee will continue as is; needs to organise an extensive programme of R&D which will be fully integrated into the work packages.
Brian Foster - LCUK
26
How to deliver EDR
Marc Ross currently chairing a working group examining the options for the structures, the WBS and the work package assignment to deliver EDR. Phone conferencesevery Tuesday.
The EC has been examining candidates forTechnical Coordinator. An offer has beenmade and discussed in detail and an announcement can be expected shortly.

Cavity performance
Somewhat inconsistent! GDE “S0, S1”task forces set up to address problem.
Brian Foster - LCUK
28
Europe in EDR
Europe needs to consider carefullywhat its role in the EDR phase should be.It seems difficult to find a factor 2 increasein FTEs - but European institutions will surely wish to bid for some work packages for the EDR.
We need CERN to play a strong role in theEDR. At the moment, this looks ratherdifficult.
Brian Foster - LCUK

European SCF in FP7 First FP7 call is for “Preparatory Phase” and is intended for projects on the ESFRI Road map.
Deadline is May 2nd. PP scheme is meant to take mature projects over the final threshold to construction. ILC is eligible since it is on the European particle physics roadmap, which was assimilated into the ESFRI roadmap. The EU Commission ruled that only 2 projects were sufficiently advanced to be eligible for PP funding: the LHC upgrade, and ILC.
Brian Foster - LCUK

European SCF in FP7
There are 35 eligible projects. If all were funded equally, each would receive 2 MEuro; the minimum is 1MEuro, the maximum 7 MEuro. The funding is divided into two main categories: siting, governance, access, legal questions, management studies etc; and for all other technical questions that play a key role in realising the infrastructure. The “technical” part of the project must not exceed 50% of the total requested budget. The total requested in this proposal is 8 MEuro.
Brian Foster - LCUK
31
European SCF in FP7
Scheme is not ideally suited for the ILC! Nevertheless, possible to adapt GDE activity that we intend to do anyway so that it can be presented in the appropriate EU “box”. To fulfil the requirement that the technical part should be less than 50%, we request salaries of people who would otherwise be paid for by their own laboratories, such as BF, E. Elsen. Our plan is that the laboratories will “recycle” the money saved to make further contributions to technical development.
Brian Foster - LCUK
32
European SCF in FP7 Summary: make further progress on preparing sites within Europe (including Russia) and explore with governments mechanisms for site proposal and selection; to develop models for governance of an ILC laboratory, making use of existing European expertise at CERN, DESY and elsewhere; to develop outreach materials and strategies in many EU languages. On the technical side, goal to make 30 cavities and by close interaction and synergy with XFEL facilities to build high-performance cavities and modules and to test them to develop the industrial capacity in the EU to produce a substantial fraction of the ILC superconducting modules.
Brian Foster - LCUK
33
EuroTeV primed in FP7
The pp bid is deliberately limited to SCRF since we think this is the best strategy to get technical effort from this scheme. This doesn’t mean that there are no other things currently in EuroTeV that need to continue.
The bids to other FP7 calls, such as designstudies etc etc are coordinated by ESGARD.Our communications with ESGARD havebeen terrible - R. Aleksan has now agreedthat I or my deputy may attend.
Brian Foster - LCUK
34
EuroTeV primed in FP7
ESGARD has established an (artifical) setof deadlines for these calls, which we are about to miss!
Phil Burrows has kindly agreed to act ascoordinator for this, working with E. Elsen,who is drowning with me in the PP proposal!
Since a lot of instrumentation is common withCLIC the plan is to try to develop a commonpackage with them for the appropriate calls.

UK News
So now we have a new RC - STFC. The firstSTFC particle physics Town Meeting took place last week just before the IoP meeting. The talk from Keith Mason was very upbeat; but STFC has inherited the problems of both PPARC and CCLRC.
Last PPARC Science Committee wrestled withproblems of insufficient resource to fundcurrent activity. T2K was approved but only just and with much reduced scope.
Brian Foster - LCUK
36
UK News
The next couple of years will be very toughas there is no free money and there is pressure to cap spend on ILC activities. Any restructuring of administration etc will need to come from current funding. OSIare prone to apply random levies.
You have heard the situation with LCABD.MICE is in an even worse situation. The £1M funding for that was supposed to be inthe CCLRC budget but it was “forgotten”.
Brian Foster - LCUK
37
UK News
The intention is that the Council will not beconcerned with science policy in detail, butwith governance issues etc. It remains to be seen whether this will happen in practice.
STFC Council has now been announced.Chair is Peter Warry, ex-chair of PPARC. Members: K. Mason ･ K. Burnett ･M. Davies ･M. Edmunds ･ P. Greenish ･P. Kaziewicz ･ A. Sargent ･ R. Wade ･C. Whitehouse
Brian Foster - LCUK
38
UK NewsThe remaining peer review bodies will be filledin the next few weeks. The most importantis Science Council, which will overviewall STFC’s science activities & facilities.
The PPAN will be the next echelon down, and will be ` PPARC’s Science Committee with the addition of the Nuclear Physicists. It is expected that there will be some continuity of membership between old SC and new PPAN. There will be a parallel committee to serve life and other physical sciences.
Brian Foster - LCUK

UK News
Everything else will carry on as before. Thefirst major activity of the new structures willbe a programmatic review to take place overthe next year.
The PPGC and the PPRP are expected at leastfor the moment to carry on as before,although it seems difficult to believe that thePPRP could cope with an increased workloadwithout some sort of changes.
Brian Foster - LCUK

UK News
The outlook for pp in general and ILC inparticular currently not favourable. The Chair & CE of STFC are not supporters of ILC. This comes down even more strongly from OSI and apparently from above them inTreasury.
We need to start a campaign, in the contextof the LHC and hopefully exciting results, toshow that pp is worth investing in. Somethingshould start to happen soon on the generalcampaign. IoP will be the front organisation.
Brian Foster - LCUK
41
UK News
Our strategy in the ILC will need to relyheavily on support from industry. Knowledgeexchange is one of the priorities of STFC and strong involvement of industry in theproject will be essential in changing mindson ILC investment.
Everyone in the project needs to play a rolein this and we need to take the messageto the grass roots as well as the opinionformers.
Brian Foster - LCUK
42
Summary & Outlook
As always in an enormous international project, there is always great pressure tomove on to the next phase. It is however worth reflecting on the enormous progressover the last year.
The RDR is a major milestone for the ILC.It documents very serious design work, strategic decisions and R&D progress. Thepresentation at Beijing was a success. Contrary to some views, the ILC is stillalive post costing & “sticker shock”.
Brian Foster - LCUK
43
Summary & Outlook
However, Orbach’s remarks have causedserious damage - politicians & fundingagencies looking for an excuse to prevaricateare very happy. It is necessary to emphasisethe positive interpretation of his remarks
In the UK, we are going to have a tough fightto maintain our ILC activity both in themachine and detector. This is part of a biggereffort that will hopefully take shape in thenext months.
Brian Foster - LCUK
44
Summary & Outlook
We have to put our heads down and soldieron as if none of these distractions werehappening. If we don’t produce the EDR andthe detector proposals on schedule, then we play into the hands of those who want delay. If we produce the goods, we put the politicians on the spot.
