GARD ABP next steps • Solicitation of comments (CSR modeling, AI and ASCR connection, etc…) • Develop research roadmaps for GARD ABP (following Grand Challenges #1 -4) • Discuss these findings and roadmaps with OHEP and NSF 7/29/20 Accelerator Frontier Kick-Off Meeting 3
Lo. I status • 50 Lo. Is request sent, mostly confirmed, but not yet received • 2 Lo. Is received – Extreme bunch Compression – IOTA beam physics • Lo. I from our group in topics of Diversity in Science and Technology is under preparation 7/29/20 Accelerator Frontier Kick-Off Meeting 4
Diversity: statistics, findings • In the fields of Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering, diversity inequality still remains – – • Varies from region to region: Sweden just over 50%, Germany 30% Varies from subject to subject: over 50% in life science, 10% in Physics, Mathematics and engineering A preliminary survey of Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) in AST was carried out for IPAC 2020 7/29/20 Accelerator Frontier Kick-Off Meeting 5
Diversity: next steps • • Preparing Lo. I on Workforce Diversity in the Field of Accelerators and Beam Physics M. Bai, K. Harkay, Z. Huang, S. Lund, V. Shiltsev Motivation/goal – – 7/29/20 Overview of the DISE in AST Trigger possible initiatives for funding agencies to follow-up • Identify a protocol for tracking of diversity statistics across accelerator facilities to properly reflect the ongoing inequality issues during various career stages. • Contrast statistics with physics and engineering can also be very helpful. • Engage the community to identify possible activities with effective measurable outcomes? • Others?
