1. EURO EURO A High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe History Aims Structure Some admin Rest of the meeting

2. History History EC funds science through Framework Programmes Particle physics became involved in FP6:  ESGARD (chair: Roy Aleksan) created by lab directors  Steer accelerator R&D proposals to FP6+n Most relevant FP6(+n) programme – RIs Support for existing infrastructure  Integrating Infrastructure Initiatives (CARE) Support for new infrastructure  Design Studies

3. History History Design studies:  There were to be 3 calls  ~9MEUR EC contribution/DS ECFA prioritised EUROTeV (Global TeV LC) for 1 st Independently, EURISOL submitted to 1 st call  European Isotope Separation On-Line Radioactive Ion Beam Facility  Includes baseline Beta Beam design Both successful ECFA (sort-of) prioritised NF for 2 nd call EC cancelled 2 nd and 3 rd calls

4. History History FP7  53BEUR budget  7 year duration, started 2007 Four programmes:  Cooperation – for priority areas: health, etc  Ideas – implemented by ERC, any science, emphasis on PIs  People – research mobility and career development  Capacities – knowledge capacities, e.g. RIs

5. Research Infrastructures Research Infrastructures 1.8BEUR Support for existing infrastructure  Integrating Activities (EuCARD) Support for new infrastructure  Design Studies  Construction of New Infrastructure – Preparatory Phase  Construction of New Infrastructure – Construction Phase 1 st DS call closing date: 2 nd May 2007; ~4MEUR Decision made to submit proposal, but…….

6. Strategy Group Strategy Group “…..studies of the scientific case for future neutrino facilities and the R&D into associated technologies are required to be in a position to define the optimal neutrino programme based on the information available in around 2012; Council will play an active role in promoting a coordinated European participation in a global neutrino programme” Crucial R&D for 2 nd generation facilities (post T2K) Include 3 main European candidates:  CERN to Frejus Super-Beam  Neutrino Factory  Beta-Beam Performance and “cost” comparison Present outcome to SG Done in collaboration, not competition

7. EURO (or EUROnu) EURO (or EUROnu) Created end 2006 15 partners, coordinator STFC Submitted proposal: May 07; Total cost 14.5M€, EC 4.8M€ Outcome: August 07 – ranked first, allocated 4.0M€ total cost 13.5M€ Project started: 1 st September 2008 Duration: 4 years – completion in 2012 Must satisfy EC requirements
