2. ESGARD - 19th May 06
In total: CNI DS JRA TA Cost 249M€+?
Too many/much: must be reduced!
ESGARD will combine overlapping LOIs - clarify some call for talks (at CARE06?) - prioritise
Priorities must be consistent with CERN SG
1st idea (not discussed or agreed): - proton related I LC (CLIC+ILC) I3

3. What about us? Four areas of work identified: Feasibility study
Accelerator R&D
Detector R&D
Physics

4. Feasibility Study Obvious match to DS Worry is priority
But……… ESGARD acknowledges FP6 problem - ILC care mainly about CNI - DS’s are only small now
Need to persuade Roy/ESGARD

5. Accelerator R&D 3(+) possbilities
Neutrino I3 (inc. FS & detector R&D) - priority will be a problem (3rd out of 3?) - how many PP I3’s will EU approve? - best way, if successful most likely way of getting nothing!
JRAs in proton I st priority number of JRAs limited would need careful negotiation to maximise - other programmes for lost JRAs - SCRF CNI-R&D: 200&700MHz SC RF - CNI-R&D: target test facility, MICE, etc? - oncology: FFAGs
JRAs in a neutron + muon I3?

6. Detector R&D + Physics
Neutrino detector I3? precedent exists (EUDET?) - later round than CARE not in ESGARDs remit EU may ask ESGARD/ECFA anyway - need ESGARD-independent advice - other possibilities? astro-particle rather than PP?
FP7: * Cooperation * People * Capacities – Research Infrastructures * Ideas – ERC: research projects at science frontiers

7. Detector R&D + Physics
Physics? do we need funding? is BENE enough?

8. For me......for accel. R&D….. Neutrino I3 is too risky
Need to know more about ERC and other programmes
Proton I3: focus more on technology than science
Has already worked: HIPPI EMMA RACCAM (MERIT) (Beta beam)
Exception: MICE – but this been a struggle in EU

9. Next Step
Need clear definition of R&D required to - determine scale of problem - prioritise see where it may fit start negotiations prepare good presentation for ESGARD
