Programme committee meeting for the 2019 LC community meeting

Monday 28 Jan 2019, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Zurich

Thanks to all for an efficient meeting today.

Discussion document:

Goals as stated on the WEB page for the meeting:

- Initiate the formation of a strategy for future linear collider activities.
- Discuss how to present the case for linear colliders at the Open Symposium in Granada.
- Address the future organisation of the international linear collider activities beyond LCC.

In short:
- G1: Strategy for LCs (what is our goal the LC(s) – as global strategy)
- G2: ESPP (how do we get there short term)
- G3: LCC++ (how do we do it longer term)

Agenda outline discussed (very first ideas):

Start Monday 11:00
Session Mon 11:00-12:45: Welcome, Introduction, Main goals, the ESPP in short, one or two talks about why we believe LCs are the right way forward (1-2 talks), describe rest of meeting (keep relatively short)
Session Mon 13:45-18:30:  Review project inputs to Strategy Process, project “political” status (ILC or CLIC, and/or via region reports) and desired outcome of decision processes (what would we like to see as LC future - consider various alternatives)

Concerning first session (specifically the point reminding about the LC motivations in one or two talks in the 11:00-12:45 session):

In the discussion it was iterated by several that we need a proper comparison between LC and Circular Colliders (CC) concerning implementation realism/timescale, long term prospects and in particular luminosity, as well as physics of course. The possibility to charge someone, or a small group, to look into (some of) these issues was also mentioned. Lyn and Daniel (and maybe others) know both LCs and CCs well so ….

Discussion during evening/overnight

Session Tue 8:30-9:30 Continuation of session Monday afternoon
Session Tue 10-12:30 EPSS in more detail, WGs, talks, etc – main messages and how to pass them (see slides in indico from our first meeting concerning the Granada programme draft) 
Session Tue 1330-1530 Conclusions, open issues, next steps, LCC++ options and ideas

End Tues 1530: Travel 
Others points from todays meeting:

We will try to circulate widely the WEB page for the LC-CM meeting this week as announcement of the meeting, and open for registration next week.

It was also mentioned/suggested that we should keep this a community meeting for the LC community first and foremost, that we should be prepared to consider/discuss alternative scenarios and project possibilities, and that further discussions/follow up might be needed between April and mid May … 

Please use this mailing list for suggestions, ideas, clarification and to spread information.

Best regards, Steinar

16:00 → 16:15 Information about the meeting

Speakers: Alexia Augier (CERN), Steinar Stapnes (CERN)

16:15 → 16:45 Goal for the meeting and Initial ideas about the programme

The meeting has three main objectives:
- Initiate the formation of a strategy for future linear collider activities.
- Discuss how to present the case for linear colliders at the Open Symposium in Granada.
- Address the future organisation of the international linear collider activities beyond LCC.

In addition to the input provided by CLIC and ILC to the European Strategy process, the decision of Japan concerning hosting the ILC is expected to be known at the time of the meeting.
