The presentation by Vic Suller at the LCUK meeting in Daresbury on October 31, 2001, outlined the vision and function of the ASTeC initiative. Established to ensure the UK retains access to world-class accelerator facilities, ASTeC focuses on integrating accelerator expertise at CLRC and enhancing support for various projects, including SRS, ISIS, and diamond facilities. With a funding allocation reaching £0.75M, ASTeC aims to promote the linear collider program, recruit new staff, and continue collaborations with higher education institutions. Upcoming initiatives also include workshops and public engagement.

ASTeC Developments and Linear Collider Plans by Vic Suller LCUK meeting Daresbury 31Oct 01
Why? • How? • What?
Why was ASTeC created? • OST Large Facilities Strategic Road Map • Ensure UK has access to world class facilities • 4 / 7 future facilities are accelerator based • Accelerator resources mainly in CLRC • £2.0M OST direct funding for Technology Centres • £0.75M for ASTeC
How will ASTeC function? • Intention to combine all CLRC accel expertise • Presently Daresbury based, but will change • Supports all accelerator activities; SRS, ISIS, diamond, ESS, CASIM/4GLS, new projects...... • Must work closely with HEIs • Visitors, fellowships, students
What will ASTeC do? • Program defined July 2001 totalling £0.75 M • Linear colliders • High power proton accelerators • CASIM/4GLS • Generic science and technology • Publicity (open day in London - March 02)
Linear Collider Program • Continue activities from Daresbury (SLS, HLO) • Recruit new staff (Band 4, 2 x Band 5) • Workshop on damping rings • Continue activities with PPD at RAL • Bid to SR2002 £7.5 M with PPARC
