Description
The European Accelerator R&D Roadmap with five topical R&D panels was implemented in 2022, following a recommendation of the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU) to intensify the accelerator R&D. This first phase of the accelerator roadmap is planned till 2026. In February 2025 a mid-term review of the roadmap activities has been conducted on behalf of LDG, by an independent panel of experts. The review assesses the status of the R&D activities, the readiness of the involved technologies and the future plans. In this submission to the ESPPU we motivate this review of the European Accelerator Roadmap and publish the report of the review committee.
