LCFOA Meeting at Fermilab; Oct 22/23, 2007:
The LCFOA held its fall membership meeting at Fermilab in parallel with the
ALCPG07 meetings. Fourteen companies, many sending two representatives, attended
from the LCFOA. The LCFOA members attended the plenary ALCPG meetings along with
over 300 registrants from around the world on Monday, Oct 22. We also attended
the afternoon regional reports by the ILC regional directors in the early
afternoon. Later in the day the LCFOA held our members meeting in a breakout
room where we had a roundtable discussion sessions with Barry Barish, ILC GDE
Director; Mike Harrison, ILC Americas Regional Team Director and Jerry Blazey,
DOE ILC Program Manager. The LCFOA continued our breakout sessions on Tuesday
with talks by Fermilab’s Shekhar Mishra, Vic Kuchler, Elizabeth Clements and
Young-Kee Kim and SLAC’s Ray Larsen. For details on the LCFOA sessions, please

The meeting concluded with a private tour later in the day of Fermilab’s ILC
test and cryomodule assembly areas.
ILC Technology Applications
Workshop, May 15, 2007
The
LCFOA made a major contribution to a Funding Agency For Large Colliders (FALC)
study on the potential future applications of ILC technologies within other
areas of the U.S. economy. The forum prepared a report focused on the uses of
high gradient SCRF, high availability electronics and low cost detector devices
within the commercial and military applications in time frames of five years and
beyond. The
ILC Technology Applications report can be obtained by clicking
here. Much of the information was obtained during a workshop held on May 15,
2007 in the Washington, DC area. The FALC released a final report on ILC
Technology Applications in Jan. 2008 which incorporated the LCFOA findings with
inputs from the European and Asian regions can be obtained by clicking

Previous meetings:
Three major meetings have been held since the LCFOA was formed in
Sept. 2005.
The last general meeting, Fall 2006, was held on
Oct 16-18 at Argonne and Fermi National Laboratories. This meeting was attended
by 52 industry representatives, 21 national Laboratory employees and DOE. The
agenda and presentations are located at
http://ilc.fnal.gov/documents/lcfoa_10_06.html. The smaller session on Oct
18 was specifically designed for magnet manufacturers. In addition, a separate
LCFOA members’ only meeting was held to review LCFOA operations for the first
year and prioritize the activities for
2007.
Magnet
Manufacturers Workshop: A technical workshop was held on Oct 18 for U.S.
magnet manufacturers and key ILC researchers. The results of the workshop
can be obtained under magnet workshop.
The LCFOA held its first major meeting at
Fermilab in Batavia, IL on Sept. 21-22, 2005. The agenda and talks from this
meeting can be found at:
