NF Design Study

1
NF Design Study

• Neutrino Factory, Superbeam and Beta-beam
  network - part of CARE bid under ESGARD, called
  BENE - proposal already being written -
  limited to organising meetings, initiating work,
  reports - 1.5M - deadline 15th
  April - coordinated by Vittorio Palladino
• Design studies - can be used to
  investigate new infrastructure - possible to
  bid for hardware costs - 200M over three
  years, 70M/year - First closing date 15th
  October 2003 - 10-15M feasible for NF

FP6 Design Studies

• EC will contribute to
• Feasibility studies paper studies
• Technical Preparatory Work hardware
• On new research infrastructures with a clear
  European dimension and interest.
• Includes future facilities of world-wide
  relevance not existing in Europe
  infrastructures constructed outside EU!

FP6 Design Studies
Feasibility studies

• Aim Lay conceptual foundations for new
  infrastructure
• Methods
• Basic feasibility study
• Explore new fundamental technology
• Detailed engineering design, particularly most
  advanced

TPW

• Includes
• Development and testing of critical components,
  sub-systems, materials or techniques, including
  software
• Does not include
• preparatory work based on existing or proven
  techniques
• reproduction of available components or materials

FP6 Design Studies
Funding

• Total budget 200M 70M in first call
• EC contribution per project ? 10M
• 50 matching required(?)

Timing

• Call for proposals 1st July 2003
• Deadline 15th October 2003
• Evaluation results mid-Feb 2004
• Contract signatures end-2004

NF Design Studies
Two so far

• FS 1 FNAL ? performance not good
  enough ? too expensive
• FS 2 BNL ? performance good enough
  ? still too expensive
• FS 3 ? (RAL?) - Take FS2 and reduce
  cost - Will require investigation of new
  techniques - Start 2005

6
EU Studies

• No design study so far
• Two layouts CERN (complete) RAL (under
  development)
• Effort dramatically reduced by CERN budget cuts
• ECFA task forces re-organised
• ENG kick-off meetings tomorrow
