1. BPM development at ATF/CLIC
Build on existing experimental infrastructure already built up at ATF2 (KEK) and develop program at ITB/CLIC
Significant experience/expertise in C (15nm resolution) and S (100nm resolution) band cavity development to transfer to CLIC/EU activities.
20 C-band cavities to be used in ATF2 beam line
Start in ATF2 core activity (ATF2 final focus test system, major ILC facility)
Move to BPM design for ITB/CLIC. Advanced BPM test facility in EU

2. Existing ILC program 3 Research associates RF simulation expertise
Electronics
Simulation and readout controls
Existing ILC facilities
ESA (shutdown during 2008)
ATF (shutdown Summer 2008)
ATF2
Hardware and travel for S-band cavity development. Final focus beam delivery cavity
Focus will shift to general cavity development
Quite independent on STFC funding between now and 2010

3. Request
Start in ATF2 core activity (ATF2 final focus test system, major ILC facility
Move to BPM design for ITB/CLIC. Advanced BPM test facility in EU
Request for 0.5 FTE for 4 years and travel
Involvement in ATF2 program at KEK
Move onto European activities after ATF2 program is developed (~35nm focus acheived)

5. Summary European involvement in LC test facilities (ATF)
UK group already key collaborator in ATF2
Independent Beam position test facility
Develop key skills
Manufacturing and industrialisation
Develop high resolution beam position monitors for ITB/CLIC
Difficult given bunch spacing
Join existing collaborations in BPM design, prototype and test
