Spanish input to the
HEP European strategy update
Marcos Cerrada
XL Int. Meeting on Fund. Physics (IMFP2012)
Benasque, june 1st
The strategy update process, launched by the CERN Council, is
requiring input from communities, and funding agencies, of all
countries.
recommended to do it in a coordinated way
CPAN assuming the responsibility of coordinating the
submission of the Spanish input to the ESPG is a natural
choice (discussed and decided during the CPAN-CEC
meeting in february 2012).
The Spanish HEP Program Manager has given full support to
this decision.
A document including the spanish community views on the
update of the European HEP strategy should be ellaborated
and submitted to the ESPG before July 31 (2012)

3. The LhC will be the energy frontier machine for the foreseeable future,
maintaining European leadership in the field; the highest priority is to fully
exploit the physics potential of the LHC, resources for completion of
the initial programme have to be secured such that machine and
experiments can operate optimally at their design performance …
There has been, from the beginning, an important contribution from the
spanish community to the LHC project,
ATLAS:
CMS:
LHCb:
ALICE:
IFAE, IFIC, UAM
CIEMAT, IFCA, UAM, UO
UB, USC, URL
CIEMAT, USC
General agreement from all these groups in that, today, such an
statement remains essentially valid.

3. A subsequent major luminosity upgrade (SLHC), motivated by
physics results and operation experience, will be enabled by focused
R&D; to this end, R&D for machine and detectors has to be vigorously
pursued now and centrally organized towards a luminosity upgrade by
around 2015.
Most of the spanish groups involved in LHC experiments have been
also working in preparing for LHC upgrade.
The actual LHC schedule, and the input from physics results still to
come, should be taken into account when reformulating this
Statement.

5. It is fundamental to complement the results of the LHC with
measurements at a linear collider. In the energy range of 0,5 to 1 TeV, the
ILC, based on superconducting technology will provide a unique scientific
opportunity at the precision frontier; there should be a strong well
coordinated European activity, including CERN, through the Global
Design Effort, for its design and technical preparation towards the
construction decision, to be ready for a new assesment by Council
around 2010.
There has been a high level of coordination at the spanish level
regarding R&D activities for future colliders. Managed through a
national network, this effort has allowed to make significant
contributions in complementary aspects like detector, accelerator
and physics studies.
As an outcome, the international visibilty of the spanish participation
in this field has been important.

4. In order to be in position to push the energy and luminosity frontier
even further it is vital to strenghten the advanced accelerator R&D
programme; a coordinated programme should be intensified, to
develop the CLIC technology and high performance magnets for
future accelerators …
The field of accelerator physics in our country has made a significant
progress during the last decade.

6. Studies of the scientific case for future neutrino facilities and the R&D into
associated technologies are required to be in a position to define the optimal
neutrino programme based on the information available in around 2012;
Council will play an active role in promoting a coordinated European
participation in a global neutrino program.
7. A range of very important non-accelerator experiments take place at the
overlap between particle and astroparticle physics exploring otherwise
inaccesible phenomena; Council will seek to work with ApPEC to
develop a coordinated strategy in these areas of mutual interest.

8. Flavour physics and precision measurements at the high-luminosity
frontier at lower energies complement our understanding of particle
physics and allow for a more accurate interpretation of the results at
the high energy frontier; these should be led by national or regional
collaborations, and the participation of European laboratories and
Institutes should be promoted.
9. A variety of important research lines are at the interface between
particle and nuclear physics requiring dedicated experiments; Council will
seek to work with NuPECC in areas of mutual interest, and maintain
the capability to perform fixed target experiments at CERN.
10. European theoretical physics has played a crucial role in shaping and
consolidating the Standard Model and in formulating possible scenarios for
future discoveries. Strong theoretical research and close collaboration with
experimentalists are essential to the advancement of particle physics and to
take full advantage of experimental progress; the forthcoming LHC results
will open new opportunities for theoretical developments, and create
new needs for thoretical calculations which should be widely
supported.
SUMMARY
The process of preparing a document with the Spanish
views about the HEP European Strategy update has
already started and is being organized by CPAN.
