DESCRIPTION:In the morning of April 9th a public event is marking the star
 t of R&D activities in preparation for a future LHC luminosity upgrade.\n\
 nFully exploiting the LHC physics potential\, including focused R&D for a 
 luminosity upgrade\, is marked as the highest priority of the European str
 ategy for particle physics (approved by the CERN Council in July 2006).\n\
 nVarious R&D activities for the LHC luminosity upgrade are now starting\, 
 thanks to several national funding sources\, additional funding from the C
 ERN member states to CERN (White Paper  themes)\, as well as funding from 
 the European Commission. \n\nThe SLHC-PP project receives funding from the
  European Commission to coordinate the R&D for SLHC\, to carry out specifi
 c R&D in a few selected subjects\, and to bring the overall project to a s
 tate of maturity\, where it can be brought forward for formal construction
  approval in a few years from now.\n\nThe public SLHC R&D kick-off event i
 s organized as part of the SLHC-PP project start-up and is intended to inf
 orm the particle physics community about the SLHC project in general: its 
 physics motivation\, the status of the LHC accelerator and injector upgrad
 e plans\, and the LHC detector upgrade plans.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con
