CARE07 Coordinated Accelerator Research in Europe
Annual Meeting, at CERN, 29-31 October 2007
The CARE project started on 1st January 2004 and will end on 31st December 2008. At the end of each year, the progress and status of its activities are reported in a general meeting. This year, the meeting takes place at CERN.
The CARE objective is to generate structured and integrated European cooperation in the field of accelerator research and related R&D. The programme includes the most advanced scientific and technological developments, relevant to accelerator research for particle physics. It is articulated around three Networking Activities and four Joint Activities.
The Networking Activities ELAN, BENE and HHH aim to better coordinate R&D efforts at the European level and to strengthen Europe’s ability to produce intense and high-energy particle beams (electrons and positrons, muons and neutrinos, protons and ions, respectively). The Joint Activities, SRF, PHIN, HIPPI and NED, aim at technical developments on specific accelerator sub-systems: SRF on fabrication techniques for high-gradient superconducting cavities, PHIN on charge-production via the interaction of a laser pulse with material, HIPPI on the technology for high-intensity pulsed proton linear accelerators and finally NED on superconducting accelerator magnet technology.
The CARE07 meeting is a particularly important event for it is taking place only one year or so before the end of the project. By the time of the meeting, the NED, SRF and PHIN activities should be nearing completion and HIPPI very advanced. Many new results will be presented in the various sessions. In addition, accelerator R&D proposals for the next calls of the European Framework Program 7 will be discussed.
