  1. Report from the chairman M. Krammer HEPHY, Vienna, Austria RECFA DESY

  2. Report will be given in plenary ECFA meeting. • Here is a list of issues we should discuss and decide: • Country Visits Summary • Matters from the EPS-HEPP Board • RECFA Country Visits 2015 • PECFA Meetings 2015 • Call for nomination for the next ECFA chairperson RECFA DESY

  3. ECFA High Luminosity LHC ExperimentsWorkshop: Physics and technology challenges 2nd Workshop: 21-23 Oct. 2014, Aix-les-Bains, F http://indico.cern.ch/event/315626/ HL-LHC construction included in CERN medium-term plan 2015-19 approved by the CERN Council in June 2014! RECFA DESY

  4. RECFA visit to Israel April 10, 2014 • Second visit to Israel, first after Israel became full CERN member state • Outstanding science culture, investments into science among the highest in the world (per GDP)  outcome also exceptional • Concentrate experimental effort on ATLASvery visible contributions (construction, operation, upgrade), prestigious leadership positions • Strong detector R&D at Tel Aviv University, the Technion, and the Weizmann Institute • Very large and productive groups in theory and phenomenology, several Israeli theorists are leading figures in their field • Issues discussed: Benefit from new status as full CERN member (e.g. strengthening the accelerator R&D programme), increase of career opportunities for young scientists RECFA DESY

  5. RECFA visit to Germany May 9, 2014 • Strong effort by the government to achieve the investment goal of 3% GDP in research and development • Complementary funding schemes: Verbundforschung, Helmholtz Association, the Max-Planck-Society, Universities • Excellent coverage of the field of particle and astro-particle physicshigh visibility in all projects and leading role of physicists • Positive development towards funding of HL-LHC upgrade projects • Accelerator and detectors R&D very strong in Germany  major contributions to ILC, XFEL,.. • Outreach activity is exemplary and highly professional • Issues discussed: maintaining the necessary computing capability, number of permanent research positions at universities (Mittelbau) RECFA DESY

  6. EPS-HEPP Board Next joint ECFA - EPS-HEPP session during the EPS conference in 2015 (Vienna July 25) Our proposal for the theme of the session “Connecting scales” was discussed in the EPS-HEPP Board. New (modified) proposals from the EPS-HEPP Board: Connecting scales: from the infinitely small to the infinitely large or Connecting scales: bridging the infinities or Linking the infinitely large and small It is now on us to decide! RECFA DESY

  7. EPS-HEPP Board • Following our discussion in RECFA on the evaluation of colleagues in HEP, I brought the discussion to the EPS-HEPP Board. • Also EPS-HEPP Board members consider this issue to be a problem! • Proposal to write a (short) document containing • Suggestions to the HEP community how evaluations should be done • e.g. considering Analyses notes, Technical notes, Conference talks; • eventually publish title/authors of AN and TN; acknowledge important positions; etc. • Explanation to outside HEP how HEP works, and how to evaluate RECFA DESY

  8. Agenda PECFA November Proposals for talks at PECFA November: (can accommodate approximately 10 talks/reports + standing items) • mid-term report Austria • LC Physics and Detectors (J. Fuster) • Detector R&D Committee Report (Y. Karyotakis) • IPPOG (H.P. Beck) • Summary 2nd HL-LHC Workshop • MICE(name by K.L.) • Accelerator R&D network activities (name by L.R., J.M.) • ESS • Plank • AUGER • AWAKE or more general Future Accelerator Concepts RECFA DESY

  9. RECFA Country Visits in 2015 • Czech Republic March 27/28 • Portugal May 15/16 • Still open: Greece or Sweden RECFA DESY

  10. PECFA Meetings in 2015 Proposed dates for the Plenary ECFA meetings: • 97th PECFA July in Vienna during EPS conference (July 25) Joint meeting with the EPS HEPP-Board • 98th PECFA November 19/20 at CERN RECFA DESY

  11.
