The aim of the ESGARD-OMIA meeting is to ensure a large
diffusion of information about the preparation of the next possible Integrated
Activity (IA) proposal on accelerator R&D, within the European
Frame Work Program 7 (FP7).
In order to prepare the bid for possible IA activities
to be submitted in the second FP7 call, which will be published on November
15, 2007, and closed on February 15, 2008, three working groups have been set-up
by ESGARD (*) in charge of developing, from the Letters of Intent received
by this committee, consistent sets of research activities to be imbedded in
an
Integrated
Activity project. These groups have been formed on the following topics and
under
the chairmanship of the indicated persons:
- High-intensity high-energy proton beams (R.Garoby)
- Novel accelerating systems (E. Jensen)
- Superconducting RF acceleration systems (O.Napoly)
The groups have worked for some months and
regularly reported to the ESGARD committee. The status of this preparation
will be presented in the meeting and this will be followed by a general
discussion.
