IMCC Annual Meeting 2022
CERN
The first Collaboration Meeting of the Muon Collider Study will take place from October 11 to October 14, 2022. The meeting will be held in person, at CERN. We are monitoring sanitary restrictions, and will consider alternative options at a later stage, if required.
We plan to cover at the meeting all areas of study and development, allowing ample time for both plenary and parallel sessions.
The main goal of the meeting will be to assess the progress of the study and to define the future work programme, in particular regarding how we will share the tasks among all Collaborators. This will include the organization of the MuCol Design Study for which we just received a positive answer from the EU.
This meeting is also supported by MUST, the MUon collider STrategy network, a part of the I.FAST European project. A specific objective of MUST is to review advances and promote collaboration on the moun source.
The Collaboration Board will meet for the first time at the Collaboration Meeting, and start activities within the scope of the study.
