All members of the US HEP community interested in
participating in the submission of LC R&D proposals
to the DOE and NSF are encouraged to attend
one of the special meetings following the Santa Cruz
Linear Collider Retreat, June 27-29. The meetings
will be held at the University of California at
Santa Cruz, Sunday, June 30.
The meetings on June 30 are the next steps in the
proposal generation process initiated at the Fermilab
Workshop of April 5 and the Cornell meeting of April 19,
and elaborated at the SLAC Workshop of May 31.
Please register for these meetings through the Santa
Cruz web site: http://scipp.ucsc.edu/LC/ .
Be sure to reserve accommodations on or off campus
for your additional stay.
The Linear Collider Consortium Organizational Meeting
(LCCOM2) is being organized by the NSF University
Consortium for Linear Collider R&D (UCLC). Groups seeking
NSF R&D funds should attend. The meeting will consist
of 10-15 minute presentations describing each of the
projects being included in the consortium proposal, and
discussion of the next steps in the proposal process.
See http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/LC/UCLC/ for details.
A parallel effort for groups seeking DOE funding is
also being organized. The purpose of the meeting is
to explore the groundrules for proposal submission to DOE,
hear brief reports from groups proposing research,
hear expressions of interest from groups hoping to engage
in LC R&D in the next year, discuss research priorities,
and make plans for proposal writing and submission.
Working Group leaders from the American Linear Collider
Physics Group will facilitate discussions for each of the
detector subsystems and for machine/detector interface
projects. Accelerator and beamline instrumentation
R&D will also be discussed.
We hope to coordinate activities between the various efforts
as much as possible, subject to the constraints imposed by the
different funding agencies. Organizational efforts are ongoing,
and will be discussed at the meeting.
Please come, and register soon.
