Energy Recovery
? scRF ? low loss ? energy recovery -
deceleration acceleration phase 180o -
reversible electrodynamics - energy recovery ?
cavity RF
?t 1/RF

ERLPEMMA ? ATF ?
? ERLP ? energy recovery - light source
(4GLS) - beam-beam (CLIC) ? ERLP EMMA ?
non-scaling FFAG - large emittance
pre-acceleration (NF, µµ) - table top MeV
ATF
CI students pdocs ASTeC

The Future Energy Frontier ?
? the CLIC trick
time
0.9 GHz
- drive RF
MV
5 MV/m
- bunched beam at klystron-delivered RF
powerinst
- bunch compression
- resonant wake-field coupling
30 GHz
- higher RF ? 150 MV/m _at_ higher RF powerinst
- secondary beam acceleration

matching
? growing expert demand
? lack of continuity of responsive funding
? lamentable number of core studentships (2!)
? definitely not as planned ! ? threat to
mission ? imaginative approachs !
10
CI PG students
business plan ? ET mission ?
11
Summary and Conclusion
? CI progressing to maturity - acknowledged
internationally (collaboration) - leadership
roles - hands-on accelerating system(s) ?
scientific programme growing (SAC input) -
strategy responsive to changing world - able to
focus at right moment - niche strengths already
appearing (SAC) - substantial output ? high
quality staff being recruited - growing demand
for responsive projects - crucial to mission
STFC ?
12
Summary and Conclusion
? industrial KE in very early stages - excellent
individual examples (RF eng) - coherence of
RDARC agenda ? - how really to engage industry
? - how really to enable industry ? -
european industry coherence ? ? substantial
ET program - in-house systems (ERL, large
emittance) ? more high quality students should
be funded
