  1. Report from ICFA • ICFA mission and membership • ICFA Panels • ICFA Activities • ILCSC and its mandate • Funding Agencies for LCs • Future activities of ICFA Albrecht Wagner, Chair ICFA ICHEP 2006 Moscow Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  2. ICFA Mission Created in 1976 by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics to facilitate international collaboration in the construction and use of accelerators for high energy physics. Its purposes, as stated in 1985: • To promote international collaboration in all phases of the construction and exploitation of very high energy accelerators. • To organize regularly world-inclusive meetings for the exchange of information on future plans for regional facilities and for the formulation of advice on joint studies and uses. • To organize workshops for the study of problems related to super high-energy accelerator complexes and their international exploitation and to foster research and development of necessary technology. Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  3. Membership The Committee has sixteen members, selected primarily from the regions most deeply involved in high energy physics. CERN Member States: T Akesson, R Aymar, AW Russia: Y.

  4. Web Page • The newly styled ICFA Web page: http://www.fnal.gov/directorate/icfa/ • First on Google List, no longer surpassed by • …ICFA, the international trade association for the cemetery, funeral, cremation and memorial industry • …or: International Custody and Fund Administration Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  5. ICFA Panels • ICFA Instrumentation Innovation and Development Panel • ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel • ICFA Panel on Advanced and Novel Accelerators • ICFA Standing Committee on Interregional Connectivity • International Linear Collider Steering Committee • International High Energy Physics Computing Coordination Committee Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  6. ICFA Activities 4 Meetings since last summer • 3 July 2005, Uppsala (during Lepton-Photon) • 29 September 2005, Daegu (during ICFA Seminar) • 9/10 February 2006, CERN (with lab directors invited) • 30 July 2006 Moscow Main Focus: Future of particle physics (Broad picture discussed at ICFA Seminar) Guidance for the ILC with the help of ILCSC Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  7. ICFA and the Linear Collider • ICFA has been helping guide international cooperation on the Linear Collider since the mid 1990’s. • Reason: World-wide consensus that 500 GeV e+e- linear collider (upgradeable to ~1 TeV) is next major accelerator following LHC 1995: First ILC TRC Report, under Greg Loew as Chair 1999: ICFA Statement on Linear Collider 2002: ICFA commissioned the second ILC TRC Report, under Greg Loew as Chair 2002: ICFA establishes the International Linear Collider Steering Group (ILCSC) with Maury Tigner as Chair Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  8. ILC • At ICHEP 2004 (Beijing) ICFA endorsed the Technology Recommendation made by the ITRP • This led to a major convergence of world-wide efforts towards the LC • GDE, with director Barry Barish, formed in early 2005 • Baseline Configuration Document (BCD) produced in late 2005; now under configuration control Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  9. ILC • Early 2006: ILCSC set up a Machine Advisory Committee (MAC), chaired by Ferdinand Willeke (DESY) • 1st MAC report April 2006 • More detailed design (Reference Design Report) by end of 2006. Will include costs (to accuracy of 20%) • -> Much momentum has built up Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  10. FALC ICFA FALC Resource Board ILCSC GDE Directorate GDE Executive Committee GDE R & D Board GDE Change Control Board GDE Design Cost Board Global R&D Program RDR Design Matrix ILC Design Effort ILC R&D Program Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  11. From Snowmass to a Baseline 2005 Snowmass August September October November December WW/GG summaries Response to list of 40+ decisions All documented ‘recommendations available on ILC Website (request community feedback) Review by BCD EC BCD EC publishes‘strawman’ BCD BCD Executive Committee: BarishDugan, Foster, Takasaki Raubenheimer, Yokoya, Walker Public Review Frascati GDE meeting Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  12. Baseline to a RDR 2006 July Dec Jan Frascati Bangalore Vancouver Valencia Freeze Configuration Organize for RDR Review Design/Cost Methodology Review Initial Design / Cost Review Final Design / Cost RDR Document Design and Costing Preliminary RDR Released Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  13. Final Remarks (B Barish) • Design Status and Plans • Plan to complete reference design / cost by the end of 2006 • Technical design by end of 2009 • R & D Program • Support baseline: demonstrations; optimize cost / performance; industrialization • Develop improvements to baseline – cavities; high power RF • Overall Strategy • Be ready for an informed decision by 2010 Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  14. New Mandate for ILCSC • ILCSC mandate originally written in 2002. Many changes since. • ICFA approved a revised mandate at its meeting in Moscow • The ILCSC membership remains unchanged • ILCSC has decided to reactivate the ‘Parameter Group’ as discussion partner for GDE Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  15. ILCSC Membership • Directors of the major particle physics related laboratories in the three regions that provide core support to ILC (CERN, DESY, Fermilab, KEK, SLAC) • One representative each from the three regional steering groups • One representative each from the physics community of the three regions • One representative from Russia • One representative from China • One ICFA representative from the “Other Countries” category • Chairperson (Shin-ichi Kurokawa) Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  16. Recent Strategy Recommendations • EPP2010 • Revealing the Hidden Nature of Space and Time: Charting the Course for Elementary Particle Physics • CERN Council Strategy Group • Unanimous approval of European strategy Both strongly support the full exploitation of LHC and give strong support to the International Linear Collider Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  17. FALC • FALC = Funding Agencies for a Linear Collider • Informal group of particle physics funding agencies from several countries • Subgroup: FALC Resources Group (FALC-RG) • Good coordination essential between FALC and ICFA • Links between FALC, ICFA and ILCSC through their respective chairs • FALC at its most recent meeting decided to extend its scope: Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  18. FALC Remit • FALC agreed that to make progress towards a construction decision for a linear collider, it was necessary to consider the wider picture of particle physics research, understanding the priorities and constraints in each region. • It was agreed that the remit of the Group should be broadened to include global coordination of, and information exchange on, the R&D programmes for upgrades of LHC, the present (ILC) and future (CLIC) linear colliders and the worldwide neutrino programme (such as proton driver, superbeam and neutrino factory). • The Group agreed that although the acronym FALC should not be changed, it should be taken in future to represent ‘Funding Agencies for Large Colliders’. Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  19. Future Tasks of ICFA Elements • Non-accelerator physics becoming more important part of particle physics • Field not so dominated by large accelerators as in the past • Many major accelerators now are for neutron science, photon science, etc. • Should ICFA change? • Road map for particle physics beyond ILC? Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  20. Future of ICFA Result of discussion so far: • ICFA should help when project become international • ICFA should not make comparisons between projects • Discussion has been taken up again for several reasons: • EPP2010, European strategy are on the table • FALC has widened its scope and will require scientific input. ICFA wishes to provide this input. Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006

  21. Conclusion • ICFA has played a very active role for many years in helping advance international projects • With LHC starting in 2007, a first major step will be taken to look beyond the Standard Model • The results from LHC will be of vital importance for the field • Major reviews have identified the ILC as ‘absolutely necessary’ for progress of particle physics • Other programmes will become increasingly international • ICFA will continue helping advance the particle physics Albrecht Wagner, Report from ICFA, ICHEP 2006
