1. SuperB update The next step in flavor physics in Europe

2. David W G S Leith Japan has come to a similar set of priorities, and created a joint Lepton Group to work on ILC R&D, Neutrino and B physics. “Flavour physics and precision measurements at the high-luminosity frontier at lower energies complement our understanding of particle physics and allow for a more accurate interpretation of the results at the high-energy frontier; these should be led by national or regional collaborations, and the participation of European laboratories and institutes should be promoted.” The INFN-hosted SuperB Factory has been able to establish its case due to an important nuance between the European and US strategies. Europe 1) LHC (and LHC consolidation) 2) Accelerator R&D 3) ILC 4) Neutrino 5) astrophysics and cosmology 6) Flavour physics US 1)LHC 2) ILC 3) ILC hosting efforts 4) astrophysics and cosmology 5) Neutrinos 6) Flavour Physics

3. The story in Italy and Europe The INFN-hosted SuperB project is now firmly established as a part of the long range strategic plan for HEP in Europe. There are regular sessions of the CERN Council, (in its role as steward of European HEP), devoted to review of progress of the SuperB project. SuperB TDR The Board of Directors of INFN approved the SuperB TDR activities as a “Special Project” in the spring of 2009 to support the international activites, and utilize the INFN and Lazio regional financial resources made available to the project.

4. 1)A substantial financial request from Ministry of research has been adressed to the Infrastructure Interministerial panel 2) An exploitation program with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) of synchrotron light from SuperB has been designed with five extracted beam lines 3) The corresponding funding has been preliminary favourably discussed at IIT and adds to the construction funds The approval path

10. Design based on the “large Piwinski angle and crab waist sextupoles” collision scheme, tested at DA  NE  -Factory with an increase in peak luminosity of a factor of 3 w.r.t. previous scheme The aim is to satisfy the physics requirements – Very high luminosity (from 1 to 4 10 36 ) – Flexible parameter choices. – High reliability. – Longitudinally polarized beam (e-) at the IP (>80%). – Ability to collide at the Charm threshold. (E cms =4.0 GeV) SuperB Accelerator Update

11. Flexibility : Luminosity of 10 36 it is not a “singularity” in the parameter space. It can be achieved with different settings of parameters, varying independently their values from nominal as: – Increase vertical emittance in HER and LER by x4 – Increase  y * by 40% in both rings – Increase vertical emittance and  y * by 40% in both rings – Increase x and y emittance by 40% – Decrease Vertical tune shift from 0.117 to 0.09 Maximum currents: 3.5 A in both rings (based on RF best design), however the nominal operating is ≈ 2.1 A Energy asymmetry : Being the choice 4.0/7.0 not good for polarization Reasonable choice are: – 4.18/6.71 (best for machine optimization!) – 3.85/7.27 (higher boost better for detector performance but more power expensive) Latest studies

36. The Italian Ministry of Science and Education has asked the Economy Ministry to fund SuperB with the funds to come from beyond the normal INFN budget. There are regular, bi-monthly discussions at the highest level of the Italian government, on the financial arrangement for the next fiscal year, and high hopes of a positive announcement of project approval before the end of this year. After a two day meeting at LNF, in September, the INFN Board of Directors gave their unanimous support to the President’s vision of SuperB as the focus of the national HEP program.
