Department of Energy Office of Science 1 Sisyphus, founder of Corinth, was condemned to an eternity of rolling a boulder uphill then watching it roll back down again, for broadcasting the location of Zeus latest concubine. And some political advice ?? His greatest triumph came when the Hades came to claim him personally for the kingdom of the dead. Hades had brought along a pair of handcuffs, a comparative novelty, and Sisyphus expressed such an interest that Hades was persuaded to demonstrate their use - on himself. DOE Outlook for ILC Progress is being made, though its not simple. Lots that could have gone wrong hasnt! We continue to push the boulder up the Hill P. Grannis, LCFOA 10/16/06 Slide 2 Department of Energy Office of Science 2 The ILC perspective The ILC has been endorsed as the highest priority new facility after the LHC by panels worldwide: EPP2010 Report The US should launch a major program of R&D, design, industrialization, and management and financing studies of the ILC. Should aim to host ILC. Needed R&D at $500M level (not including detector R&D and some US specific infrastructure). Secretary Bodman at FNAL, April 2006: I fully support the possibility of bringing the International Linear Collider to this Lab. it is a goal worth fighting for. This may turn out to be the most profound new science that we will be seeing in our lifetime. CERN Council European strategy: It is fundamental to complement the results of the LHC with measurements at a linear collider. Federation of (Japanese) Diet members to promote the realization of ILC As an important international project in the fundamental sciences, the Federation decided to give strong support toward the realization of the ILC. Slide 3 Department of Energy Office of Science 3 P5 (Particle Physics Program Prioritization Panel): 1. LHC is our most important near term project. 2. Highest priority for investments toward the future is ILC. Need to participate vigorously in the international R&D. New investments: ~60% ILC and 40% dark matter, dark energy, neutrinos. HEPAP recommendations Advanced Accelerator Research and Development panel: Early industrial involvement in design and optimization for large- scale mass production is critical and should be supported. Recommend that OHEP and NSF build healthy program to address the fundamental issues of SCRF and cavity properties, materials and surface science. Increase long-term accelerator science funding to 6% of total Slide 4 Department of Energy Office of Science 4 DOE Funding for the ILC DOE recognizes that the R&D phase of the ILC will require significant expenditures. The funding levels have been rising, after several years of capped budgets: FY05: $23.7M FY06: $30M FY07(Presidents budget): $60M House markup: same as Presidents budget Senate mark: take $15M from ILC to Dark Energy research. Move $8.3M from overall OHEP budget to new Office of High Energy Density Physics (e.g. plasma acceleration research). No appropriation until after election continuing resolution at FY06 level. The FY08 budget is now under discussion in Administration Slide 5 Department of Energy Office of Science 5 DOE Funding for the ILC The DOE Office of Science is working actively to establish funding and program direction for the R&D phase of the ILC, and to develop the possibility for the US to be a credible host. Starting in FY07 (if at Presidents budget level), the ILC funds are expected to cover all ILC-specific activities laboratory ILC R&D, university grants for directed ILC accelerator research, ILC detector R&D, and support of the GDE. In past, the ILC funds were supplemented at the laboratories by other funds for generic research and infrastructure that could also benefit ILC. This will continue, subject to available funding. In future, DOE would like to open a new category of funding for Superconducting RF R&D and Infrastructure. Slide 6 Department of Energy Office of Science 6 New generation of light sources for research in condensed matter physics, biology, plasmas, materials, environmental studies, chemistry. Efficient energy recovery linacs (for materials and nuclear science) Rare isotope accelerators (for nuclear science and astrophysics) Compact proton linacs (neutron sources, neutrino beams) CATEGORY OF ACCELERATORS WORLD # Basic research ~250 Medical radioisotope production ~200 Radiotherapy>7500 Biomedical studies~1000 Industrial processing ~1500 Ion Implantation, surface modification>7000 ESTIMATED TOTAL >17,500 Accelerators have transformed society broadly in past. SCRF will likely find new uses in cancer therapy, radioisotope production, nuclear waste disposal, etc. SCRF R&D SCRF will be the basis for new facilities across the broad spectrum of DOE/SC program. ILC pushes the high gradient technology and industrial development that can enable many other applications. Slide 7 Department of Energy Office of Science 7 String test Large infrastructure needs and industry procurements Need many industrial cavities to perfect the process. Purchases needed for rf power, CMs, cryo, controls.

Much to do: review cost estimate; document ILC technological benefit; coordinate other large world projects; formalize GDE organization for engineering design stage; establish process for site selection. International perspective Current R&D funding levels in Asia, Europe and US are about equal. ITER organization is good model for ILC Slide 9 Department of Energy Office of Science 9 http://www.science.doe.gov/sbir OHEP program manager: LK Len (lk.len@science.doe.gov) SBIR/STTR Grants What are they?

High Energy Physics Detectors Phase I Topics: Slide 11 Department of Energy Office of Science 11 Summary The DOE believes that the ILC is our best candidate for a future high energy physics facility and that a vigorous R&D program to develop it is warranted. DOE recognizes that the funding for the R&D phase must continue to ramp up. The US should seek to host the ILC. The international collaboration to do the R&D and complete a cost- effective design has been initiated. Much remains to strengthen and internationalize the ILC organization. The major technical challenges lie in the large scale fabrication of cavities, their assembly into modules, and the rf power systems to drive them. Industrial efforts are key to meeting these challenges. Slide 12 Department of Energy Office of Science 12 Slide 13 Department of Energy Office of Science 13 Importance of Industrialization effort DOE understands that bringing major components to reliable and reproducible fabrication in industry is one of the primary needs for funds in the pre-construction phase. For critical SC rf components, US industry is not yet at the level found in Europe and Japan. For the major cost components, we need all the help from industry we can get to learn how to do these in a cost efficient and reliable way. Your insights and guidance are needed to manage the industrialization effort within the overall budget constraints. Slide 14 Department of Energy Office of Science 14 US regional needs The Linear Collider Steering Group of the Americas has impaneled a group to consider and advise on priorities for those activities which are needed in the US that would support the industrialization and bid to host efforts in the US. These include the development of infrastructure in our laboratories for superconducting rf cavity and cryomodule materials processing and testing, stimulating industry capability in SCRF and the development of a suitable site for ILC in the US. Satoshi Ozaki (BNL) is the chair of this panel. Panel advice is being folded into the FY07 budget process and is part of the planning for FY08 and FY09.
