Schulte (CERN): issues of the low emittance transport in the ILC from the damping ring to the interaction point and beyond  The ILC Global Design Effort Meeting 9-11 March 2006, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India preparation of RDR document with cost ILC Global Design Effort ILC Global Design Effort  POSIPOL: options and open issues of a polarized positron source based on laser Compton back scattering for ILC and CLIC, and R &D efforts towards a complete Compton source design.  High Gradient RF - HG2006 - CERN 25-27 Sept 2006, co-organized by LTECNC: limits on high fields in rf cavities and what causes breakdown and other phenomena that limit the ultimate gradients of these devices, such as surface pulsed heating.

5. April 2006F. Richard LAL/Orsay5  A workshop about the European XFEL will be held by EIFast at the DESY site in Hamburg on 9/10 May 2006  EIFast: European Industry Forum for Accelerators with SCRF Technology  International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders19-27 May 2006 Sokendai, Hayama, Japan Organized by ILC GDE, ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel and the International Linear Collider Steering Committee

6. April 2006F. Richard LAL/Orsay6 Electron Accelerator R&D for the Energy Frontier  CARE/ELAN on May 15: - Plenary in the morning on laser/plasma, a proposal for a new infrastructure on SC, Progress in CLIC cavities, BDYN+INSTR… - Plenary in the morning on laser/plasma, a proposal for a new infrastructure on SC, Progress in CLIC cavities, BDYN+INSTR… - FP7 1h30 discussion in the afternoon - FP7 1h30 discussion in the afternoon - 4 Parallel ELAN sessions for 3h30 - 4 Parallel ELAN sessions for 3h30  EUROLEAP kick-off meeting on May 16  In // EUROTEV on May 16  Reserved morning on Wednesday EUROLEAP

7. April 2006F. Richard LAL/Orsay7 Preparation of FP7  First discussion within ESGARD February  Important discussions taking place at the CCSG in Berlin Zeuthen beginning of May -> ELAN meeting is timely on these issues  What are our goals after CARE+EUROTEV ?  What fits into a DS or into a JRA ?  Why do we need a European SC RF facility beyond TTF ?

8. April 2006F. Richard LAL/Orsay8 European SC RF Facility at CERN  LoI sent to the CERN-Council SG ON March 15  Participation of ELAN (L. Lilje, F.R.)  Basic idea: TTF facility (SC technology) heavily used for XFEL and should be partially replaced by a new facility dedicated to R&D on SC  CERN, as a center of excellency for SC, could house such a facility  Needs support from the CERN-Council to be supported by ESFRI supported by ESFRI

9. April 2006F. Richard LAL/Orsay9 A recurrent problem for ELAN financing  The EU money arrives late in the year  This can be handled provided the national administration accepts to pay ELAN missions in the 1st part of the year (banking)  If not there is a very uncomfortable situation: - no money until June-July - no money until June-July - overspending imposed on the rest of the year - overspending imposed on the rest of the year  What can be done ?

10. April 2006F. Richard LAL/Orsay10 Conclusions  Very active period on accelerator R&D  ELAN is a useful tool in: - Supporting workshops on a future linear colliders - Supporting workshops on a future linear colliders - Promoting new techniques for acceleration - Promoting new techniques for acceleration - Preparing for FP7 - Preparing for FP7
