workshop, Jinan, Activities with DCAL extension of the existing coverage of EMCAL improve back-to-back correlation measurements 6 supermodules in total, ½ built in Subatech, 1 being built in Wuhan installation foreseen during the long LHC shutdown collaboration Wuhan-France (Nantes & Grenoble) within FCPPL: common module assembly platform for design and production technical training of Chinese engineers and technicians in France Rails 1 DCAL supermodule 12m Support structure VHMPID PHOS 18

workshop, Jinan, FCPPL-ALICE project (2011) funding from France. Total: Euros travel costs for French Physicists to the FCPPL workshop travel costs for the PhD defense of Yaxian & Renzhuo stay costs for 2 Chinese PhD students in France (Yaxian & Xiaoming) stay costs for 2 Chinese master-II students in France stay costs for 2 Chinese technicians in France funding from China. Total: Yuan travel costs for Chinese physicists, technicians & students in France stay costs for French physicists in Jinan & Wuhan stay costs for Chinese physicists in France concern: the reduction of the French budget ( Euros attributed for a request of Euros) strongly affects the future collaboration  only 2 French people in Jinan, stay of Chinese people in France to be redefined or cancelled. ( Euros in 2010…) 19 1 Euro = 9.3 Yuan

workshop, Jinan, 20 Summary The FCPPL-ALICE Chinese/French collaboration is solid, healthy and very fruitful excellent contributions of students large scientific production technical contribution to DCAL is ongoing The French budget cut will limit the collaboration actions inside the FCPPL
