The Scientific Case
                                          for a LC

A world-wide consensus has formed for a baseline LC project in
which positrons collide with electrons at energies up to 500 GeV,
with luminosity above 1034 cm-2s-1.
The energy should be upgradable to about 1 TeV.
Above this firm baseline, several options are envisioned whose
priority will depend upon the nature of the discoveries made at
the LHC and in the initial LC operation.
The consensus document has been signed by > 2030 scientists
from all around the world.

Relation of Hadron Collider and Linear Collider

1. Since the LC will start after the start of LHC, it must add
   significant amount of information. This is the case!

2. Neither LC nor HC’s can draw the whole picture alone. A LC will
• add new discoveries and
• precision of LC will be essential for a better understanding of the
   underlying physics.

3. There are probably pieces which can only be explored by the LHC
   due to the higher mass reach. Joint interpretation of the results
   will improve the overall picture

4. Overlapping running of both machines will further increase the
   potential of both machines and might be mandatory, depending on
   the physics scenario realized

Summary LHC/LC Study

First round of LHC/LC studies almost completed

• SUSY (as an example for a scenario with very rich new
phenomena) greatly benefits from synergy of LHC and LC analyses

• The studies show in a quantitative manner that joint analyses will
improve the knowledge about SUSY (mass measurements,
extraction of couplings/mixing angles, extrapolation to higher
scales)

• Some very clear advantages of simultaneous running became clear
(hopefully more to come): LC prediction of (possibly marginal) LHC
signals (call for higher LHC lumi, improved experimental techniques
etc)

Field Emission and Q-drop cured

•   Maximum field is still slowly improving
•   Negligible Field Emission detected, that is
    negligible dark current expected at this field level
•   Cavity can be operated close to its quench limit
•   Induced quenches are not affecting cavity performances

The VUV-FEL: A Test-bed for XFEL Issues

A major emphasis in the up-grade from 250 MeV to 1 GeV has
been put on beam diagnostics to learn as much as possible about
all critical parameters of the electron and photon beams:

-   Standard beam position monitors
-   Optical Transition radiation monitors
                                            (beam profile)
-   Wire scanner stations
-   Longitudinal bunch shape measurement
-   Interferometer measurements             (bunch length)
-   Electro-optical sampling
-   Emittance and phase measurement

Many other issues, such as operation stability and
experimentation can also be studied at the VUV-FEL
It will also be a test-bed for new concepts

Draft Ministerial Statement Regarding the Importance of
   International Co-operation on Large Accelerator-based
               Projects in High-Energy Physics

Ministers expressed their appreciation for the work of the OECD
  Global Science Forum Consultative Group on High-Energy
  Physics. They welcomed the report from the Group and
  commended the clarity and world-wide consensus they found
  amongst the high-energy physics community in developing the
  Roadmap for future large accelerator-based facilities.
In particular, the Ministers note several important points that
  were articulated in the report:
• A roadmap that identifies four interdependent priorities for
  global HEP facilities i) the exploitation of current frontier
  facilities until contribution of these machines is surpassed, ii)
  completion and full exploitation of the Large Hadron Collider at
  CERN, iii) preparing for the development of a next-generation
  electron-positron collider, and iv) the continued support for
  appropriate R&D into novel accelerator designs. …….

   Albrecht Wagner, Oxford 290104                                     41
Draft Ministerial Statement Regarding the Importance of
  International Co-operation on Large Accelerator-based
              Projects in High-Energy Physics

• The need to have large, next-generation facilities funded,
  designed, built, and operated as global-scale collaborations
  with contribution from all countries that wish to participate.
• The need for strong international R&D collaboration and
  studies of the organisational, legal, financial, and
  administrative issues required to realize the next major
  accelerator facility on the Consultative Group's Roadmap, a
  next generation electron-positron collider with a significant
  period of concurrent running with the LHC.
• The need to continue to educate, attract and train young
  people in the fields of high-energy physics, astrophysics and
  cosmology in the face of the increasingly competitive
  environment where all areas of science, industry and
  commerce are seeking to capture the imagination of the most
  creative minds.

Draft Ministerial Statement Regarding the Importance of
  International Co-operation on Large Accelerator-based
              Projects in High-Energy Physics

Ministers agreed that, given the complexity and long lead times
for decision making of major international projects, it is
important that consultations continue within the scientific
communities and, when it becomes appropriate, within
interested governmental communities in order to maximise the
advantages offered by global collaboration.

OECD Ministers will meet 29/30 January

Recognised that scientific committees have established a need
for future facilities of such a scale that an international forum
of potential funding agencies/sponsors was needed.
The group discussed the status of current funding for a linear
collider (LC) and their perceptions of the prospects for the
future.

2002: Worldwide Concensus on Next
                                   Major HEP Facility
 Statement by ICFAS chair, Jonathan Dorfan, to ITRP
 on 27 January 2004

• In 2002, planning exercises in Europe (ECFA), Asia (ACFA) and the
  US (HEPAP) resulted in an unanimous alignment of each region’s
  highest priority goal, namely the construction of a 500 GeV
  electron positron linear collider as a necessary physics companion
  for the LHC

   – ECFA, ACFA & HEPAP all endorsed this as an urgent need. All
     regions strongly urged that the project be fully international
     from the outset

In 2004, The Community’s Worldwide
                      Commitment Remains Unchanged
The Chairs of ECFA, HEPAP and ACFA have this past week,
reasserted their regional support for the LC. In their words:

“I can confirm that all the conclusions of the Lorenzo Foa panel,
including that the next priority for a new machine for particle physics
should be a linear electron-positron collider with an initial energy of
at least 400 GeV, extendible up to about 1 TeV, remain the basis for
the policy currently being pursued by ECFA.” (Brian Foster)

“With the upcoming first meeting of the ITRP, I want to make it clear
that the highest priority in the U.S. HEP program is a high-energy,
high-luminosity electron-positron Linear Collider. Not only was this the
conclusion of the Long-Range Planning Subpanel that was unanimously
endorsed by HEPAP in 2002, but it subsequently was restated in the
2003 recommendations from HEPAP of the high-energy facilties to be
a part of the Department of Energy Office of Science twenty-year
facilities  plan. “ (Fred Gilman)

In 2004, The Community’s Worldwide
                       Commitment Remains Unchanged
  “ACFA made two ACFA statements in the past on the International
  Linear Collider Project, which should be a world-wide collaboration
  in construction and operation.
  At the Plenary ACFA meeting in October 2002 in Melbourne, ACFA
  established ALCSC for promotion of the GLC project in Asia and
  for close collaboration with other region's activities, especially with
  ILCSC.
  ACFA put the Linear Collider Project at the highest priority in
  high-energy physics research for concurrent running with LHC.
  Even though the concurrent LC operation is important for the
  interaction of LHC/LC physics, we would also like to stress the
  absolute importance of LC irrespective of LHC.” (Won Namkung)

• Any person or group that states their region’s priorities wrt LC as
  otherwise, is out of synch with their community’s desires

Summary

• The scientific case is as strong as ever. The complementarity
  with LHC is strong, so is the discovery potential of the LC
• Broad support and enthusiasm in community (consensus paper,
  YPPs, ..)
• Need to continue to impress politicians by steady progress
  (technical decision, joint global design, self-organisation,..)
• Strength of field lies in ability to form consensus. We should
  be careful to maintain it.
• We need to keep cost of the project within meaningful
  boundaries, e.g. LHC, ITER. This can be done.
• We need to present a time line which allows politicians to
  react and us to keep the momentum going.
• 2015 is a realistic target date for commissioning. To reach
  this we have to keep going at full speed.
