WP? – Beam Dumps (R. Appleby)

• Test the feasibility of the gas/water dump hybrid idea, through simulation

• The gas energy density along the column• Gas dump pressure issues• Activation studies with CINDER90• Carried out by university staff, with support from experts and engineers• Deliver a report on gas dump feasibility

• The hybrid uses a shorter gas dump as a passive beam expander, in front of a water-based dump

• The idea, which arose out of discussion with target people, is very attractive– Water dump window problems eased– Beam expander failure unlikely– Other benefits e.g. reduced neutron flux coming back from the

water dump

FUTURE FUNDING OF LC-ABD

Current PPARC support ends in March 2007

Future proposed programme will need to be peer reviewed by the end of 2006 to ensure continuity.

The proposal for the next phase will need to take into account overall international status, UK role/responsibilities and timescales for TDR etc.

Funding for accelerator R&D awarded in SR2002 has been built into the PPARC baseline.

Linear collider R&D is given high priority by PPARC. There are long term commitments to the two accelerator R&D centres.

Page 42: UK ILC-Related R&D G. A. Blair Royal Holloway Univ. London EGDE Meeting, Oxford 25 th October 2005 LC-ABD Programme Overview of the projects Future prospects

LARGE CAPITAL FACILITIES FUND

Linear collider is a bid from PPARC to the OST Large Capital Facilities Fund – separate funding line retained by OST for capital construction projects.

Prioritisation exercise currently underway of bids from all Research Councils – outcome not yet known but if given high priority, any funding could be for the construction phase only. Discussions with OST continue.

PPARC will have to balance the need to maintain momentum, with the funds available and other calls on the PPARC budget.
