• Charged with:- define scope and charge- initiating

• NuFact’04 obvious target, but……..

• …….one or two problems have delayed start

• Much done, but more work required

• Still plan to start soon

• Comments very welcome!

WDS ScopeWDS Scope

• Much discussion about this (still)!

• Concluded WDS must acknowledge current status

• In particular, existing international “sub-collaborations”

• Cannot subsumed into WDS (by us)

• Identified six possible sub-collaborations

• Either formed, forming or (perhaps) should be formed

WDS ScopeWDS Scope

Sub-collaboration Summary of Task

1 Proton Driver Definition of critical parameters and R&D on components

2 Targetry R&D on solid and liquid targets to prove viability; R&D on pion collection

3 MICE Demonstration and study of ionisation cooling

4 FFAGs Study of FFAG acceleration, proof of principle and R&D on critical components

5 Design and engineering studies

Cost and performance optimised Neutrino Factory Design

6 Physics and detectors Define parameters for accelerator & detector, inc. detector cost

Mainly hardware R&D Mainly simulations and theory

ScopeScope

• Overall coordination of all sub-collaborations required inlonger term

• Not by us – we are merely encouraging creation of some

• WDS: concentrate on simulations, theory, etc cost optimised NF layout, inc. detectors

• Aims:- continue studies of alternative options for machine

- integrate alternatives via end-to-end simulations - select “best” based on cost/performance optimisation - include detector(s) in cost optimisation

• Follows on directly from previous feasibility studies

• Will require close interaction with other sub-collaborations

• Possible duration: 4-5 years(?), hopefully starting soon

• Main deliverable: detailed design report

WDS ChargeWDS Charge

The feasibility of a Neutrino Factory has been demonstrated by a number of studies performed in the US, Japan and Europe. The cost, however, as determined by the second study in the US, was higher than is desirable and since it was published work has been on-going to find cheaper alternatives to the most expensive parts of the machine, while maintaining the performance. What is required now is a “third” feasibility study which brings these studies to a close, does end-to-end simulations of the machine and develops an overall cost optimisation of the machine plus detectors. For the “best” layout, more detailed engineering should be performed and a detailed design report produced.

In detail, the charge is:

1) continue simulation studies of different elements of the accelerator complex

2) identify related R&D that needs to be done and initiate international collaborations to do it

3) once the studies of the different options in 1 are complete, do end-to-end simulations to demonstrate feasibility of at least one layout and perform cost optimisations with far detectors

4) if there is more one than layout, select the best based on cost and performance optimisations

5) write preliminary design report for selected option

6) perform detailed engineering studies of the selected option

7) at the end of the study, write a detailed design report

Next Steps…….Next Steps…….

• Get endorsement and comments from three regions

• Plans have been presented to: - EMCOG - MUTAC

• Will need to be presented in Japan

• Some action required

• When WDS is endorsed in all three regions: - identify likely contributors - develop detailed plans in collaboration - setup management structure, WP, etc - identify host laboratory - etc!

Design Study in EuropeDesign Study in Europe

• Funding difficulties in Europe

• Some improvement recently:- EC FP6 - UK- CERN management

• But mainly for R&D:- proton driver- target & TT2A- MICE- FFAGs

• Not part of current WDS

• Big hope: FP6 Design Study- up to 10MEUR- funds both simulation and R&D- 4 year duration

FP6 Design StudyFP6 Design Study

• Three submission dates defined by EC:- March 2004- March 2005- March 2006

• Created a steering committee

• Defined 8 WPs

Current StatusCurrent Status

• Waiting for Round 2 decision – September

• In the mean time:

– Start anyway!

– Try and increase participation

– Focus on specific projects to attract new people

– Talking to CERN bosses for small resource increase

– Investigating alternative FP6 actions

• In addition, APS studies in US

WDS not starting today!WDS not starting today!
