Research labs and universities with activities in accelerator physics and technology 3 Roscoff October ESRF + ESS

4 Roscoff October st Workshop on accelertor physics in Germany / Frankfurt 2008 The idea for ​​ a committee for Accelerator Physics was already present before the workshop in Frankfurt 2008 What are the activities in accelerators physics and technology in Germany? What / where are existing competences? What are collaborations between universities and institutes? What are the areas for collaboration? How can university groups contribute to existing and future projects? How to encourage and strengthen such collaboration? What projects can be proposed for funding from BMBF (Ministery of Education and Research) until end 2008? For what projects in the future? What projects could be done together with hadron & nuclear physics (KHuK) and with elementary particle physics (KET)?

5 Roscoff October 2013 From the idea to the KfB committee At a 2 nd workshop in October 2009 in Hamburg an "ad hoc committee" was formed to prepare a "Committee for Accelerator Physics", to promote the interests of accelerator physics in Germany and to improve information exchangs among the accelerator physicists and engineers. The ad hoc committee developped a constitution and prepared a web site: The election took place in November 2010 At the election, about 265 members were involved The first meeting of the committee was held in January 2011

6 Roscoff October 2013 KfB Commitee 12 elected Members for a period of three years: Five from universities; Five from Helmholtz-Centres (Helmholtz-Association of German Research Centres): DESY, GSI, FZJ (Juelich), KIT (Karlsruhe), HZDR (Dresden Rossendorf), HZB (Berlin); One from other German Research Centres; One from Research Centres outside Germany, with Germany support to its operation; Invited to the meeting: One member of the Committee of Fundamental Particle Physics; One member of the Committee for Synchrotron Radiation; One member of the Committee for Hadron & Nuclear Physics; One from each: BMBF, Project Organisers and the DPG (German Physics Society)

Status registered (46 female = 12%) ~ 47% from Helmholtz-Centres ~ 45% from Universities ~ 7% from internationale organisations (21) (CERN) ~ 1% from other nationale institutes (4) (2 x HIT + 2 x MPG ) New elections autumn 2013! Registered members

9 Roscoff October 2013 Who can becom member? The "Committee for Accelerator Physics" (KfB) represents the “Community of the German Accelerator Physicists and Engineers” and promotes contacts within the community. The "Community of the German Accelerator Physicists and Engineers” includes: –Scientists who completed their studies of higher education with a bachelor, master and doctoral degree –Work at an academic institution in the Federal Republic of Germany or at an international organization with German financial participation (e.g. CERN, ESRF, ESS to come) –Carry out research, development, teaching, or have a leadership role in the field of accelerator physics

10 Roscoff October 2013 Some tasks of the commitee… Exchange of information and coordination of interests between universities, national research centers and other academic institutions as well as industry Identification of research priorities Participate in the development of strategies for the future of accelerator physics in Germany and in international bodies with German participation (CERN, ESRF, ESS, …) Community representation in national and international bodies Strengthening of German participation in international projects and facilities of physics Promote the teaching of young scientists and the perception of accelerator physics as a branch in physics Encouraging contact with other research areas where accelerators are used (e.g. particle physics, materials science, medicine) or used by accelerator physics (e.g. electrical engineering, laser physics, …) Suggestions to conferences, workshops, and participation in the annual meetings of the German Physics Society (DPG)

German Physics Society (DPG) – members Accelerator physics to become a division (Sektion / Fachverband) / working group (Arbeitskreis) 11 Roscoff October 2013 DPG proposes to create a working group, not in favor of a “Fachverband” Constitution being written… KfB

Meeting of the German Physics Society (DPG), with >1000 participants 12 Roscoff October contributions on accelerators in 15 sessions In particular, relevant for students to show their work Particle Physics Hadrons & Nuclei

13 Roscoff October 2013 Funding of accelerator R&D in Germany Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren (Helmholtz-Association of German Research Centres) –18 independen research centres, staff, budget about 3 ×10 9 Euro/year, from particle physics to medicine –Among them are DESY, GSI, FZJ, KIT, HZDR, HZB –ARD initiative (Accelerator Research & Development) with funding of 4-5 MEuro / year –Funding in general for R&D projects in Helmholz research labs (..the labs might funs university groups) Verbundforschungsförderung (“Integrated Research Funding”) by BMBF –Funding of projects related to large instruments in particle physics, hadrons & nuclear physics, condensed matter and astro & astro-particle physics –Funding goes in general to university groups –Some part of this funding for research on accelerators, about 4-5 MEuro / year Hermann von Helmholz

15 Roscoff October 2013 KfB and „Verbundforschungsförderung” (Integrated Research Funding) Grants are in general given to a group of universities / research centres with common interests KfB coordinates the applications to receive grants Organsation of 2-day workshops to discuss projects and collaborations Example for 2012: Universities presented their ideas (e.g. short presentation of project ideas from 31 university groups). Proposal for grouping into five groups: –Electron Sources with high Briliance (U Mainz, U Wuppertal, U Rostock, TEMF, HZB, HZDR, DESY) –Advanced Bunch-Compression Schemes (U Rostock, HZDR, HZB, DESY) –Beam instabilities (TU Darmstadt, U Rostock, HZB) –Advanced CW cavities for multiple application (TEMF, TU Dortmund, U Rostock, HZB, HZDR, DESY, XFEL) –Correlated characterisation of the dynamics of short bunches (KIT, TU Berlin, TU Dresden, TU Dortmund, HZDR)

Education in accelerator physics Lectures on accelerator physics are offered at about 10 universities in Germany –HU Berlin, TU Berlin, Uni Bonn, TU Darmstadt, Uni Dortmund, Uni Frankfurt, Uni Göttingen, Uni Hamburg, Uni Karlsruhe, Uni Mainz, Uni Rostock About 120 students participate to these lectures About 12 student / year remain in accelerator physics About 11 PhD theses / year (confimed for ) There is a similar number of Master / Diploma Theses Seems that there is a slight increase during recent years 16 Roscoff October 2013
