Description

Aims of the Workshop

In view of the forthcoming delivery of the FCC feasibility study (FS) report in March 2025 and the pre-TDR for a Project decision in 2027, the SY-FCC workshop in October aims at evaluating the SY deliverables to allow the FCC project to:

  • prepare the pre-TDR work, and refine the common understanding of technical objectives and organisation
  • complete the FCC-ee infrastructure definition (underground & surface, including pre-injector)
  • to assess its compatibility with a future FCC-hh machine (tunnel cross-section & space reservation at surface)
  • identify together any important remaining open points for the FS

The FCC project will present the overall timeline, expectations and work organisation.

The SY technical groups will present the WP scope, organisation (including reporting and interfaces), and technical status of their FCC works to be able to deliver the FS and pre-TDR.

Importantly, each team will identify what is missing in terms of resources or input, in particular from other WPs/Groups.

Since the FCC week in mid-2024 provided a comprehensive overview of the technical status of most of the SY activities, it is not foreseen to repeat the detailed technical presentations. Instead, the idea is to focus on how to deliver the FS and pre-TDR information needed on time, and to make sure that the SY Groups and the FCC project have a common and shared understanding of the objectives, priorities, work organisation and challenges to solve together.

    • 08:30 10:30
      Part 1: FCC project view
      Convener: Brennan Goddard (CERN)
      • 08:30
        FCC project status 30m
        • FCC timeline and progress with mid-term review recommendations
        • Present baseline, machine parameters and optics; is a major evolution needed/expected in the pre-TDR phase?
        • Timeline, status and assumptions for cost exercise: what is included and what is not included (workforce, R&D, spares, …)? which time period is covered by the cost exercise?
        • Expectations and priorities for the pre-TDR phase in terms of machine design, equipment design, and R&D for SY systems; in particular, which level of detail is expected for system/equipment design?
        • Strategy for the project work organisation, interfaces, processes and WBS for the pre-TDR phase (2025-2027) and afterwards (from 2028), in particular: how are equipment groups/specific study groups present/represented in the overall structure? formalization of work packages? is a second-layer management below the pillar management needed/foreseen?
        • Technical baseline and change management process: how is all the information collected across equipment groups/study groups? which bodies take decisions? how are decisions documented and communicated to equipment/study groups? interplay between accelerator design and technical design?
        Speaker: Michael Benedikt (CERN)
      • 09:00
        FCC accelerator technical design and priorities 30m
        • Key technical work for SY needed until 2027, technical system studies to be delivered for pre-TDR in particular those impacting civil engineering
        • Formalization of Work Packages
        • Strategy for iterating between machine design and technical system design
        • Impact of machine protection on system design and technical design choices
        • Clarify level of environmental impact assessment required
        • Operational model, consequences on tunnel radiation, design constraints, etc…
        • Goals/timeline for mock-up arc cell and opportunities for integration and testing of equipment
        Speaker: Jean-Paul Burnet (CERN)
      • 09:30
        Procurement, in-kind and collaboration aspects 15m
        • High level objectives, constraints, project view of key collaboration opportunities for SY
        • What are the different procurement/delivery models and strategies? WBS for components and systems and how are they going to be designed/prototyped/delivered (industry, inkind, CERN)? which quality control process is foreseen?
        • Experience from other large projects (ITER, ESS, FAIR, HL-LHC)?
        • Definition of the process with SY department and interfaces between FCC project and SY groups
        • What is the required timeline for early decisions to be taken the pre-TDR phase?
        Speaker: Anders Unnervik (CERN)
      • 09:45
        Prevessin pre-injector complex 15m
        • Status of machine design, technical design and siting of the pre-injector complex
        • News on “delivery model” and assumed timeline
        • Collaboration needs, work plan, synergies, organization of the work
        • Required interfaces between CERN groups and institutes responsible for in-kind contributions; how is CERN involved in the design? how to define of standards (e.g. for controls)? equipment ownership/maintenance during operation?
        Speaker: Michael Benedikt (CERN)
