ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators LCC Organization October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest13
ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators LCC Physics and Detectors October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest Proposed structure (Hitoshi Yamamoto): 14
ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators Mandate for LC Study Preamble: The present mandate of the chair of the ECFA study for linear collider physics and detectors expires by the end of During the RECFA meeting in Copenhagen on 5th of May 2013, RECFA decided to propose a three-year prolongation of the ECFA study for linear collider physics and detectors. Taking into account the many recent developments the mandate has to be updated. At present the organization structure of the Linear Collider Collaboration (LCC) is being set up but all the details are not yet defined. However, it is important that the discussion of the new mandate for the ECFA study takes place in parallel to the discussions within the LCC in order that the new ECFA-study chair shall be selected before the present mandate expires at the end of A coordination between ECFA and the LCC on the mandate is foreseen. The present structure of the LCC organization includes a Physics and Detector Associate Director (presently Hitoshi Yamamoto). The ECFA study for linear collider physics and detectors should be incorporated in this structure. However, we assume that the chair of the ECFA study is not an official member of the LCC management structure. The new period of the mandate extends for the three years from January 2014 to December During this time an evolution of the linear collider study into a project is possible if not likely. Therefore the mandate should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate the transition. October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest15
ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators Mandate for LC Study cont’ Title of the function: “Chair of the ECFA study for Linear Collider physics and detectors” Mandate: Chair the ECFA unified study on Linear Collider physics and detectors in Europe (ILC and CLIC related activities). The chair reports to ECFA. Support the development and documentation of the physics case for the linear collider. Support the development of European contributions to the detector design and to related detector R&D. Ensure close connections between the experimental and the theoretical communities working on the linear collider in Europe. Ensure that linear collider activities in Europe are transmitted effectively to the relevant strategic international bodies: ECFA, the Linear Collider Board, etc. Represent the community involved in the ECFA study in relevant international bodies. Foster a close relationship with the European Union to advance the linear collider project in Europe. In particular, explore the funding possibilities given by the new framework program for research and innovation Horizon 2020 by the European Commission. Take responsibility (or delegate responsibility) for the regional ECFA Linear Collider workshop (ECFA-LC), which is usually held in Europe every third year. October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest16
ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators European LCB Members DG CERN (R. Heuer) Director Particle Physics DESY (J. Mnich) Representative of Russia (Director Dubna, V.A. Matveev) Two representatives from the European community, nominated by RECFA and endorsed by PECFA (Nov. 22/23) – One person representing Accelerator physics (L. Rivkin) – One person representing Detector and Physics (F. LeDiberder) Both ILC and CLIC activities should be represented by the two community representatives, aiming for a proper balance of the two communities in the overall representation. + “European Advisory Board” to be set up October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest17
ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators European LCB Advisory Board Time to come back to set up the LCB Advisory Board. I got several requests to finally set up the board. Remember: During the process of defining the European members of the LCB we decided to set up an “European Advisory Board” to enable the involvement of more European members of the LC community (ILC and CLIC) in the discussions and decisions. We have suggestions for names (see next slide) We decided to postpone the discussion after the 1 st LCB meeting. October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest18

Funding agency) We already decided not to include members from funding agencies. Still to discuss: all lab directors?, official country representatives?,… who should be the chairperson? 19
ECFA European Committee for Future Accelerators PECFA Reform Question about role/efficiency of PECFA – Started discussion in RECFA May 2012 – I asked PECFA for suggestion July 2012 Very few responses: more discussion time, name badges,.. No real interest for changes Composition of PECFA, number of members per country? October 5, 2013RECFA Budapest20

Implications on government of ECFA? Be more restrictive, work out formula for number of members per country. More restrictive - more important! Motivation to attend the meetings? I have asked you to inquire with your colleagues at home. 21
