Introduction D. G. day 1: “Let progress in physics guide your evaluation. ” Which physics? How far off the main path of the HEP exploration is CERN interested in going, motivated to go and should be allowed to go?

 • • Two levels: • leading the quest for new physics • direct

• • Two levels: • leading the quest for new physics • direct searches: • LHC, CLIC • indirect evidence: • Leptons: neutrino masses and mixings, LFV • Quarks: K, B hadron decays • CPT violation searches (AD), Axion searches • exploring dynamical issues • ancillary to the exploration of the fronteer, e. g. : • better PDF’s for LHC studies • with no obvious or direct impact on the HE frontier: • hadron spectroscopy • polarised/transverse/generalized/. . . PDFs • HI • . . . On a different Riemann sheet: • “Other topics” • Isolde/n. TOF, future Eurisol-like activities

QCD and strong interactions • • Strong interaction studies will play a crucial role: QCD is ubiquitous in high energy physics! Once new particles are discovered at LHC, it will be mandatory to explore parameters, mixing patterns, i. e , we need an unprecedented ability to interpret the strong interaction structure of final states Synergy: Kaon system, Heavy Flavour, Hadron spectroscopy— Many intellectual puzzles still open in QCD! • Confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, vacumm structure (glueballs etc) light particle classifications, multi-quark states. . .

Expectation at the end of ‘ 02 -’ 04 analysis • from charm: ΔG/G=0. 24 • inclusive high-pt hadron ΔG/G=0. 05 (plus large th uncertanties) • Future prospects: • ΔG/G→ 0. 17 (0. 11) with 1 (3) yr after ‘ 06 • ? ? after ‘ 10 • Competition: RHIC, jet-jet, similar or smaller error, larger x range • Recommendation: flagship measurement Generalised parton densities Knowledge of transverse structure of the proton: go to the infinite-P frame, how are partons distributed on the flat disk as a function of x? . Goal: extend accuracy and range • Timescale: >2010. • Competition: rich program at DESY, JLab, but not in this domain of Q and x. e. RHIC with similar kinematics, but not before 2015. • Recommendation: No rush. Inclusive PDFs: improve accuracy of old CERN experiments. • Not obvious that this will contribute to LHC (timescale not adequate to have an impact) • Timescale: > 2010

Chiral perturbation theory (π, K beams): Very important measurements, extraction of fundamental parameters of low-energy QCD, useful for the description of several phenomena, e. g. in K decays Very accurate theoretical predictions (2%), crucial tests of theory possible • • • ππ, πK atoms (DIRAC, PS/SPS): improve the ππ accuracy, perform a (accurate) πK measure; complements related measurements at Dafne (DEAR/Siddartha) Primakoff production (Compass): improve, increase statistics.

Conclusion for K’s Absolutely clear physics case, to be pursued with the strongest determination

Conclusion for K’s Absolutely clear physics case, to be pursued with the strongest determination in a global context of healthy, aggressive and very competent competition The discovery of Supersymmetry at the LHC will dramatically increase the motivation for searches of new phenomena in flavour physics. The K physics programme will find a natural complement in the B physics studies at the LHC, and in new Lepton Flavour Violation searches. The definition of a potential LFV programme and the study of its implications for the accelerator complex should be strongly encouraged and supported

Key questions for the neutrino programme at CERN • Do the physics motivations of the Superbeam, βbeam and SP+βB programmes suffice to undertake the SPL (possibly + βbeam) path, or is this justified only in the context of a subsequent νFact upgrade? • What if no detector at Frejus is available? • This must be understood clearly before the SPL road is taken, as the νFact option it has impact on the post-LHC programme (compatibility of the νFact with CLIC? ? ) • Does the Eurisol physics motivation and financial opportunity suffice to undertake the construction of the SPL regardless of the answer to the above points?

Personal assessment (M. Mangano) • The physics case for the simple superbeam option does

Personal assessment (M. Mangano) • The physics case for the simple superbeam option does not appear compelling • from the “SPL Physics case” presentation at Villars: • • if T 2 K-I measures non-zero θ 13, SB will come in late, and will be in competition with T 2 K-II if T 2 K-I fails, SB will at best detect a non-zero θ 13, but will not be in the condition to perform an accurate measurement, or to firmly establish CP violation the upgrade to a νFact appears unavoidable to justify the start of a neutrino programme based on the SPL (whether or not the βbeam option is available) In all cases, it is mandatory that an independent physics case be developed, and independent resources be confirmed and allocated, for the construction of the required detector at the Frejus

 • In view of the physics case, I (M. M) would bypass the

• In view of the physics case, I (M. M) would bypass the superbeam/ βbeam phase, and support a plan explicitly aiming at the construction of the νFact (to the extent that this does not jeopardize CLIC) • The injector upgrade should be staged according to the primary needs of the LHC, with a view at a possible future νFact • The compatibility between a βbeam option and an RCS-based injection upgrade should be explored • The ability to assess the feasibility and costs of a νFact by the time similar info is available for CLIC (end ‘ 09? ) would put us in the best position to determine CERN’s future options • The availability of the RCS PS by 201? , in addition to benefiting the SLHC, would open excellent new opportunities for the fixed-target programme

From the Recommendations of the High Intensity Protons WG: In my view this formulation

From the Recommendations of the High Intensity Protons WG: In my view this formulation is rather negative as far as the “alternative options” are concerned. A decision “prepared” by “pursuing studies” in one case, and “exploring scenarios” in the other, will prevent a meaningful and fair comparison between all options when the time comes.

Scientific objectives (1) • The following strategic orientations are proposed for CERN activities in 2004 -2010: • 1. to keep the utmost priority for the completion of the LHC project, and strive for a start of operations in the summer of 2007 = machine / detectors / LCG • 2. to fulfil commitments previously made by CERN: CNGS, EGEE • 3. after an in-depth risk analysis review, to mitigate the consequences of failure of old equipment that is necessary for reliable LHC operation.

Scientific objectives (2) • 4. in line with the new policy by the European Commission for structuring the European Research Area, by promoting the coordination of laboratories in matters of R&D and new infrastructure (FP 6 – CARE programme), to launch in the period 2004 -2006 different studies in cooperation with other laboratories.

Scientific objectives (3) • Their primary goal would be: • to develop detailed technical solutions for a future LHC luminosity upgrade to be commissioned around 2012 -2015. • Definition of the Linac 4 (160 Me. V-H-), in relation with the European Programme for a High Intensity Pulsed Proton Injector (HIPPI) • Definition of modifications to the magnets in the interaction regions at two crossing points of the LHC beams, linked with the European programme Next European Dipole (NED), aiming at 15 Tesla • Definition of new trackers for the upgrade of the ATLAS and CMS detectors, to withstand a factor 10 higher luminosity.

Scientific objectives (4) • • to contribute, as far as possible, in collaboration with other European laboratories, to solving design issues that are generic to e+e- linear colliders and not specific to any particular design – EUROTEV. • to keep in touch with other design studies launched in Europe, of Eurisol and SIS 100. Another goal would be: • to define possible new fixed-target experiments, highly praised at another “Cogne” meeting in September 2004.

Scientific objectives (5) • • 5. to decide in 2006 on the possible planning and the start of implementation of the Linac 4 and/or any proposed R&D or experiment, depending on the funds available or expected at that time. 6. to accelerate the tests of feasibility of the CLIC concept, in order to arrive by 2010 at a firm conclusion on its possible use in an e+e- linear collider above l Te. V. For this to be possible, cooperation with other European (and non European) laboratories would be needed, with exceptional resources to be committed in 2004 and 2005 (contributions “a la carte” from Member States).

Scientific objectives (6) • 7. in 2009 -2010, to review and redefine the strategy for CERN activities in the next decade 2011 -2020 in the light of the first results from LHC and of progress and results from the previous actions. The possible choices are presently quite open. The future role of CERN will depend on these choices and their effective funding.
