NCPRM Regular Meeting
Participants: Frank (online), Giovanna, Gianluigi, Jamie, Sara (online), Urs, Markus, Johannes
FIP/Neutrino Advisory Group
- Idea to have an overview of the field and on-going/planned projects at a low-detail level, including a coarse estimate of needed resources and timescales.
- Scientific committees focus rather on proposals that reached already a certain maturity level and not on resources.
- Alfons confirmed as excellent choice (taking over LHCC later in autumn)
- Timeline to be advanced for an intermediate iteration/report by September (autumn) and the final report summarising findings and recommendations by November 2026.
- Propose Torben Ferber as chair person, thus contact him first → Urs/Jamie you take the lead there?
- → Giovanna/Jamie to confirm representative of Neutrino Platform (to check with Francesco, likely Laura or Steven)
Notes and Conclusions from RB (18 March 2026)
- NA60+/DiCE: decision is postponed to next RB. Need to make sure that management understand that NA60+ does not put any constraints / dependencies on ion complex review. Statement that SPSC did the review. Not clear what additional input is needed and who will follow up.
→ Giovanna and Urs will check with Gautier and Gautier. - AD/ELENA experiments:
- Run-4: SPSC triggered process with addenda requested
- action on BASE to collect user requirements. EP is looking for available space. IEFC action proposed and to be followed up (initial requirements included by BASE in last SPSC annual report
discussed available technical specifications → Jamie sent the respective SPSC annual report part (p.71) -> link
→ Johannes will inform Francois and IEFC - GBAR: SPSC expects a resource-loaded schedule and full proposal by February 2027, otherwise area considered to be available for new experiments. Agreed that RM context is to highlight that a respective option/choice is incoming -> Ask Francois and Davide to provide a short assessment of what is needed for dismantling and for a possible future use of their linac and the area. → Johannes will check with Francois (ADTC/IEFC informed/SPSC follow-up)
- INTC: concerns about impact of SHiP running on ISOLDE protons. Urs reminds that proton sharing was also discussed during the approval phase of SHiP, so need to understand if there are new constraints. There are reports, however with very open phase space of choices. Needs to be compressed into an understandable scenario. → Action Johannes.
- ALADDIN: Technical proposal was already anticipated end of 2024. Requires additional measurements planned for this year, needs MD time; considering previous LHCC/RB conclusions, thus today's RM context only transition phase to clarify/maintain technical opportunity with physics case to be followed as always (agreed → Gianluigi/Markus?, trigger respective LMC decision). Two parts: Short-term need to decide whether to continue (RB agreed), long-term decision for running after LS4
- MAPP: any additional technical implementation studies shall be stopped. → FIP/Neutrino Advisory Group shall make a statement on discontinuation (→ inform LMC)
- AICE: strong support noted (minutes to be checked), important to go ahead with Workshop (triggered by LHCC/Roadmap, but organized by colloboration -> Sergio Calatroni, Clara Murgui and Oliver Buchmüller available to help and can be included in kick-off message → Markus will draft a short message
Other:
- taking our memorandum as trigger (for short-term considerations), then also important to clarify relevant boundary conditions of a future roadmap (e.g. previous SC/RB statements/conclusions, resource envelope to consider, proposals with overlap to other laboratories (e.g. molecular beams, neutrinos, etc.)
→ Markus to propose a common discussion (also on other subjects) together with Gautier, Oliver and Mark
Other topics:
- Timeline for SPSC reviews discussed (see also Sara's email): nuSCOPE + heavy ions reviews to trigger in May → Sara, Markus
- agreed that a CERN internal message about the started roadmap process would be required perhaps best with a short article in the Bulletin → Markus will prepare a short draft (mainly based on the mandate)
- academic training lectures →Johannes proposed his help for their organization and will kick-off the first two together with Urs (the current draft list is available and can be edited easily here)
- email list available, Sharepoint page for central collection of relevant documents, and easier collaborative work, Indico pages for our meeting every two weeks now also done (for the next time I've reserved a larger room in building 6)
Kept for next time:
- LDG taskforce: if you can, please have a quick look at the information available below, we can then also discuss individually offline and have a first wrap-up in two weeks
- Plan-Of-Work (first 'action' list available on SharePoint) - here we need to get now back also to Rende, Sylvie, etc.
There are minutes attached to this event.
