K10.00001: European Spallation Source and Neutron Science Invited Speaker: James Yeck International collaborations in large-scale scientific projects can link Sciences and Society. Following this goal, the European Spallation Source (ESS) is a multi-disciplinary research centre under design and construction in Lund, Sweden. This new facility is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries. Scandinavia is providing 50 percent of the construction cost whilst the other member states are providing financial support mainly via in-kind contribution from institutes, laboratories or industries of the given countries. Scientists and engineers from 35 different countries are members of the workforce in Lund who participate in its design and construction. The ESS will enable new opportunities for researchers in fields of life sciences, energy, environmental technology, cultural heritage and fundamental physics by producing very high flux neutrons to study condensed matter physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear physics and materials science. The ESS will be up to 30 times brighter than today's leading facilities and neutron sources. A tungsten target and a 5 MW long pulse proton accelerator, composed mainly of superconducting Radio-Frequency components, are used to achieve these goals. [Preview Abstract] |

K10.00002: CERN Roadmap: Exploitation of the Full Potential of the LHC and post-LHC Accelerator Studies Invited Speaker: Frederick Bordry After a Long Shutdown (LS1), LHC physics will resume in early 2015 while the other injectors and experimental areas of CERN will resume their operation in the second half of 2014. After a short report on the LS1 status, the presentation will describe the operation strategy after the LS1 and the main activities during the LS2. Then, it will give the plans for the full exploitation of the LHC in line with the priority of Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics: HL (High Luminosity) LHC project. HL-LHC installation is planned for Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), now scheduled for the period 2023-2025 with the goal to reach 3000 fb$^{-1}$ by 2035. Finally post-LHC accelerator studies will be introduced and particularly the Future Circular Collider (FCC) programme centred on a new-generation circular colliders with a circumference of 80 to 100 kilometres.

K10.00003: The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Project Invited Speaker: Thomas Glasmacher The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will be a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) national user facility supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics. Centered on a 400kW superconducting linear accelerator providing heavy-ion beams with energies of 200MeV/nucleon for all ions, FRIB will enable scientists to make discoveries with fast, stopped, and reaccelerated rare isotopes. The FRIB project was baselined at a total project cost of \$730M with scheduled completion in June 2022. The project is being managed to early completion in 2020 and civil construction has begun on the campus of Michigan State University. This talk will give an overview of the FRIB project, its current status and prospects for discovery. [Preview Abstract] |
