2. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Project status - Introduction • Recognizing the non-existence of August, there hasbeen progress on many fronts since the Perugia meeting,and there are some issues • I will touch on some highlights from the perspective ofthe Project Office

4. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Project Board A Project Board has been created within the Project Office Charge: “Review and propose to the SuperB Project Director the general parameters of the SuperB project that overlap the boundaries between the accelerator, detector, site, computing, and physics analysis. Provide a forum in which all major decisions of the management group will be fully discussed with the technical leaders.” Members: Maria EnricaBiagini, Francesco Forti, Marcello Giorgi, David Hitlin, David Leith, Mauro Morandin, Pantaleo Raimondi, Blair Ratcliff, Claudio Sanelli, John Seeman, Michael Sullivan, Sandro Tomassini, Guy Wormser Met for the first time in Perugia, and will reconvene this week

6. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Project approval status • A series of initiatives has left SuperBwell-positioned within the European roadmap • September 08 - Project presented to CERN Council by Petronzio • The CERN Strategy Group has “taken note” of SuperB and is formally following progress • There have subsequently been several meetings with S. Stapnes, the Secretary of the European Strategy Group • December 2008 - TDR phase approved by the Board of Directors of INFN • March 09 - meeting at LNF of the European Laboratory Directors, promoted by the Strategy Group, to discuss participation in SuperB • Directors expressed their support. Two French Directors and the CERN Research Director indicated their willingness to provide people to participate in the TDR phase of the project • May 2009 –The INFN Board of Directors approved SuperB TDR activities as a Special Project to enable handling of financial resources - there has been a rather slow start in making these INFN and Regione Lazio funds available • June 2008 - INFN President updated the CERN Council on SuperB

7. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Project approval status • September 2009- The CERN Council “recognized that [SuperB] is in agreement with the European Strategy for Particle Physics, and that there are encouraging possibilities for national support. The Council looked forward to future updates on the project’s progress” • The Italian Ministry of Science and Education has asked the Economy Ministry to fund SuperBwiththefunds to come outside the normal INFN budget • The process is ongoing, with hope for a successful outcome before the end of the year • In France, IN2P3 has approved participation in the SuperB TDR phase • Groundwork for approval of participation from other countries(US, Canada, ….) is underway • A new law, passed on August 29 allows the creation of ERICs (European Research Infrastructure Consortia) • This is a legal instrument providing a faster, more efficient process for creating multinational research organizations (which may include countries outside Europe) • An ERIC can benefit from exemptions from VAT and excise duty in all EUcountries • This is of obvious interest to SuperB

8. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Other activities • Activities at Frascati • On Sept 23 there was a lab-wide meeting at LNF atwhich the relationship of SuperB to the laboratoryprogram was discussed • A wide variety of opinions were presented, both pro and con SuperB • On Sept 24 the SuperB project was presented in detail to an audience from LNF and physicists from all over Italy • On Sept 25 the INFN Board of Directors gave their support to the SuperB project

9. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Site(s) • There are two potential sites • Tor Vergata • LNF • The ring circumference is not directly correlated with the choice of site • Tor Vergata: • A “green field” site, with no existing infrastructure • A 2000m design for this site was presented to the miniMAC in April 2009 • LNF: • It is possible to tunnel under the existing laboratory and the neighboring ENEA lab • A 1350m design that fits this site is the current focus of detailed study • It also is possible to build a larger ring at the LNF site by tunneling outside the lab boundaries, • The LNF site would make use of existing infrastructure, but construction might disrupt the lab for an extended period • The site decision will be made (hopefully soon) after approval

15. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals • Site and machine circumference are NOT directly correlated • It is feasible to extend beyond LNF/ENEA site boundaries • Costs and machine circumference are correlated • Larger bending radius  lower RF power costs • Larger circumference larger tunnel and vacuum system costs • tunneling costs are ~ €15K/meter) 1350 m 1800 m ?

16. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals From the April 24 miniMAC closeout “…Mini-MAC now feels secure in enthusiastically encouraging the SuperB design team to proceed to the TDR phase, with confidence that the design parameters are achievable” • This was extremely good news, but it is important to rememberthat the machine reviewed was the 2km machine “concept” • There has been a great deal of progress in filling in the details since April, with work concentrated on smaller 1.35km version, that fits on the LNF/ENEA site • This machine is cheaper to build and has been able to incorporate a polarized LER beam • Does it have sufficient flexibility and headroom? • What are the operating costs? • Another miniMAC will be convened, likely in the Spring, to review progress

17. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals Reuse of PEP-II/BABAR components • The reuse of BABAR and PEP-II components in SuperB is of great importance to the project • These components represent the major contribution of the US to the capital project, as detailed in the CDR • A detailed list of the desired components is under consideration by DOE and SLAC • The potential reuse of components informs the D&D process, which were reviewed in March at SLAC • The INFN Board of Directors has approved an agreement concerning the request for components. • INFN will confirm its interest in these components by end of 2009

18. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals TIARA • TIARA is a new Preparatory Phase project under the FP7 framework • One of the four work packages is for SuperB • Marica Biagini will be the coordinator • Effort on design of ultra low emittance beams in synergy with, e.g. DIAMOND at RAL, ATF2, and CESR-TA • Use DAfNE to implement and test new ideas for improving such beams: • R&D on e- cloud instability simulations, mitigation techniques • Intra-beam scattering measurements • R&D on feedback for very low emittance beams • R&D on new concept low energy positron sources (with CNRS/LAL) • Collaborate with R&D efforts on the Damping Rings of ILC and CLIC • Low emittance lattice design • e-cloud instability studies • Intra-beam scattering studies • Diagnostics for low emittance rings • Low noise bunch-by-bunch feedback for low emittance beams • Fast kicker design and technology

27. Introduction Project status Site Machine Detector Physics progress Paperwork Webwork Workshop Goals The White Paper • The Accelerator, Detector and Computing groups are all makingprogress, at varying rates, towards the White Paper we agreed to produce by the end of the year • The initial purpose of the White Paper was to facilitate the funding initiative underway in Italy • This initiative seems to be proceeding well without the paper • Discussions have begun on repurposing the White Paper • End of year date in jeopardy in some areas due in part to slow startup of personnel hiring • The three area’s completion dates could be decoupled • The paper is more likely to be a useful tool in promoting collaborations and interesting funding agencies to join the effort • This may motivate a change in level, emphasis
