Research and Development Opportunities for the Linear Collider

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Workshop date: April 5, 2002

• Introduction.
• Program.
• Video coverage of the workshop.
• Participants.
• Advice to speakers.
• Other linear collider consortia and meetings:
  • University Consortium for Linear Collider R&D (UCLC) web site, and the site from their organizational meeting (at Cornell, April 19th).
  • Linear Collider R&D Opportunities Workshop (SLAC, May 31st).
  • Santa Cruz Linear Collider Retreat (UCSC, June 27-29).

  We are working closely with the organizers of other meetings and expect that the various consortia will remain in close contact as they are organized.

• Workshop statistics:
  
  • 113 people had registered over the web; 84 of them picked up their conference badges April 5th. Ten more people registered at the workshop, bringing the total number of registrations to 123. As a result, there were 94 registered participants in attendance, though about 150 people came to the summary/discussion talks at the end of the day.
  • 41 people turned in a survey/questionnaire form concerning their possible interests. 46 people who did not fill out the interest questionnaire did provide information in their registration form concerning their interests. Consequently, we collected R&D preference data from 87 of the 123 workshop registrants.
  • 26 registrants were interested in R&D projects relating to both accelerator and detector designs. 22 expressed interest only in accelerator projects. 39 indicated interests only in detector projects.

  • The home institutions of participants who had registered over the web were distributed over 19 states, Italy, and Russia. Click here to see a map of US participation.
  • We printed 200 copies of the speakers' presentations, distributed about 120 of them to workshop participants and another 20 to the Fermilab directorate and visiting (URA?) committee.
