National Accelerator Stewardship

• HEP is developing a national accelerator RD
  stewardship effort
• Input will be sought via a workshop (late 2009)
  that examines the uses of accelerators throughout
  society the desired performance characteristics
  of these and future accelerators and the RD
  efforts in the private and government sectors.
• The workshop will address
• current state of the art and practice
• accelerator improvements to meet existing and
  future stakeholder needs
• RD efforts currently underway or planned.
• Broad attendance from stakeholders in medicine,
  industry, security (including energy and
  defense), and science
