9. US HEP scientists visited India Nov 03.
Interaction Meeting on Linear Collider and Neutrino Physics, New Delhi.
Visit to Center of Advanced Technology, Indore
Visit to TIFR
Meetings with Prof. Ramamurthy and Dr. Kakodkar.
India’s potential and several areas of collaboration is possible.
We submitted a ~30 pages long report to DOE on our very positive visit.

10. Accelerator R&D Collaboration
An Indo-US WG on Accelerator R&D was formed to discuss the areas of collaboration.
Members:
Dr. D. D. Bhawalkar, CAT
Dr. N. K. Mondal, TIFR
Dr. M. G. Karmarker, CAT
Dr. S. Krishnagopal, CAT
Dr. A. Roy, NSC
Dr. D. Burke, SLAC
Dr. S. Chattopadhyay, Jlab
Dr. D. Michael, CalTech
Dr. Joe Rogers, Cornell
Dr. Shekhar Mishra, FNAL
We realized that the area of collaboration should go beyond accelerators to include Physics, detector and computing.
Committee member represents the areas of growing interest like neutrino physics, SCRF, electron machines etc.
India will return to ICFA.
