Accelerator physics summary & report on UCLC + LCRD R&D ...

The startup has been bumpy!Congressional budget was months late: Feb. 14, 2003!“The cap” on DOE LC accelerator R&D!DOE funding began arriving July, 2003.• DOE managed to find ~all the funds they had hoped for:$400k/$500k accelerator/detector. (yippee!)• Long delay was a problem (some groups didn’t getsummer students). Discouraging (and ultimatelyinaccurate) projections came from some grant officersbefore funds were actually found.!NSF hit a pothole. UCLC only received a “planning grant.”G.
