1. Design Study on High Luminosity Colliders EUROCRAB submitted to EU-FP7
M. Biagini, LNF/INFN
Vth SuperB Workshop
Paris, May

2. Why a Design Study?
The SuperB accelerator design is based on a new idea
A test of this idea will be performed at DAFNE late this year
We need to set up a collaboration for studying the test results and other issues that have been raised on the feasibility of the collider scheme
We need to study the accelerator in more detail than it is at present (CDR)

3. FP7
The FP7 framework is ideal to build a true international collaboration
If we get approved we will be able in a very short time (beginning of 2008) to:
hire new people to address the specific design issues
freely collaborate with EU and overseas partners, without money issues
perform R&D activities

4. FP7 Activities

5. Evaluation criteria for FP7

6. Objectives
Study of new collision schemes and machine parameters to increase luminosity in colliders
Design of a SuperB collider lattice, study of beam-beam and backgrounds, diagnostics and positron source for a Reference Design Report (RDR)
Design of new Interaction Regions for:
DAFNE upgrade with KLOE experiment
LHC upgrade

7. Proposal preparation
We had to prepare a proposal in a very short time (1 month): deadline was May 2nd
The partners met by phone on March 30th and agreed on the work and funding requests to be proposed in the DS
The proposal is a 59 pages document, available at:

8. Will partecipate without
EU Partners
INFN (LNF, Pisa, RomaI), Italy
CERN, Switzerland
LAL/Orsay, France
Liverpool University, UK
INPL/Lyon, France
Elettra/Trieste, Italy
ESRF, France
Daresbury, UK
Soleil, France
Will partecipate without
funding

9. Non EU Partners
BINP, Russia (is in ICPC list, can receive fundings)
SLAC, USA
KEK, Japan
The deliverables will not depend on the work of the overseas partners. However their support will help us in studying fundamental issues
Experts from the best worldwide accelerators Labs will gather to produce the best design

10. Work Packages We agreed on 6 Work Packages for a 3 years project
The number is appropriate for the amount of money we ask for (3.5 Meuro)
Each WP addresses key topics in order to meet the DS objectives
Some prototyping will be done in WP6

11. WP1 - MAN Deliverables: Coordinator: M. Biagini (LNF)
coordination of all Work Packages;
organisation of meetings;
