Global Planning and Cooperation Global Planning and Cooperation ―― A Must for HEPA Must for HEP

Never before has a field of science attempted to globalize itself as Never before has a field of science attempted to globalize itself as extensively as HEP has done recently. It is a challenging task, but extensively as HEP has done recently. It is a challenging task, but one that we must do successfully. Indeed the long-term health of one that we must do successfully.

Why Decide Technology Now?Why Decide Technology Now?

We have an embarrassment of riches !!!!We have an embarrassment of riches !!!!

Two alternate designs -- “warm” and “cold” have come to the stage where the show stoppers have been eliminated and the concepts are well understood.

R & D is very expensive (especially D) and to move to the “next step” (being ready to construct such a machine within about 5 years) will require more money and a concentration of resources, organization and a worldwide effort.

It is too expensive and too wasteful to try to do this for both technologies.

A major step toward a decision to construct a new machine will be enabled by uniting behind one technology, followed by a making a final global design based on the recommended technology.

The final construction decision in ~5 years will be able to fully take into account early LHC and other physics developments.

The Charge to the International Technology The Charge to the International Technology Recommendation PanelRecommendation Panel

General Considerations The International Technology Recommendation Panel (the Panel) should recommend a Linear Collider (LC) technology to the International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC).

On the assumption that a linear collider construction commences before 2010 and given the assessment by the ITRC that both TESLA and JLC-X/NLC have rather mature conceptual designs, the choice should be between these two designs. If necessary, a solution incorporating C-band technology should be evaluated.

Note -- We have interpreted our charge as being to recommend a technology, rather than choose a design

We evaluated each of these categories with the help of answers to our We evaluated each of these categories with the help of answers to our “questions to the proponents,” internal assignments and reviews, plus “questions to the proponents,” internal assignments and reviews, plus our own discussionsour own discussions

What did we do?What did we do?

We each traveled at least 75,000 miles

We read approximately 3000 pages

We had continuing interactions with the community and with each other

We gave up a good part of our “normal day jobs” for about six months

We had almost 100% attendance by all members at all meetings

We worked incredibly hard to “turn over every rock” we could find.

The RecommendationThe Recommendation

We recommend that the linear collider be based on superconducting rf We recommend that the linear collider be based on superconducting rf technology technology (from Exec. Summary)(from Exec. Summary)

This recommendation is made with the understanding that we are recommending a technology, not a design. We expect the final design to be developed by a team drawn from the combined warm and cold linear collider communities, taking full advantage of the experience and expertise of both (from the Executive Summary).

We submit the Executive Summary today to ILCSC & ICFA

Details of the assessment will be presented in the body of the ITRP report to be published around mid September
