Conclusions

• All key objectives have been reached for the end of 2005.

• End of repair of QRL, reinstallation of sector 7-8 and cold test of

sub-sectors A and B.

• Cool-down of full sector 8-1.

• Pressure test of sector 4-5.

• Endurance test of full octant of power converters.

• Magnet installation rate is now close to 20/week, with more than

200 installed. This, together with interconnect work, will remain the

main bottleneck until the end of installation.

The main objective of the CARE project is to generate a structured and integrated European area in the field of accelerator research and related R&D. The program includes the most advanced scientific and technological developments relevant to accelerator research for Particle Physics. It is articulated around 3 Networking Activities and 4 Joint Research Activities:

- ELAN (Electron Linear Accelerator Network)

- BENE (Beam for European Neutrino Experiments)

- HHH (High intensity High brightness Hadron Beams)

- SRF (Superconducting RF)- PHIN (PHoto-INjector)- HIPPI (High Intensity Proton Pulsed

Injectors)- NED (Next European Dipole)

CERN council Restricted session (Rome July 04)

•Encourages efforts towards the design and development of a Linear Collider as a unique opportunity at the precision frontier complementary to LHC

•Confirms its endorsement of accelerated R&D activities for CLIC

•Recognises the overall value for the world Particle Physics community of a decision to construct a TeV Linear Collider (ILC) and encourages the efforts of the leading players in that direction

•Takes the view that, in the course of this process, it will be appropriate to take stock of the LHC and accelerator R&D results and produce a new assessment of the Physics and technology by 2010.

•Is in the opinion that, in the initial phase (2004-2007), the organisational structure of the global initiative, in particular the ILC Central Design Team, should be light

Page 48: Overview of CERN Activities in 2005 Strategy for CERN Future 12 January 2006 R. Aymar

J.P.Delahaye 12 January 2006 48

Strategy to address key issues

•Key issues common to all Linear Collider studies independently of the chosen technology in close collaboration with:

•International Linear Collider (ILC) study•The Accelerator Test Facility (ATF@KEK)•European Laboratories in the frame of the

Coordinated Accelerator Research in Europe (CARE) and of a “Design Study” (EUROTeV) funded by EU Framework Programme (FP6)

•Key issues specific to CLIC technology:•Focus of the CLIC study•All R1 (feasibility) and R2 (design finalisation) key

issues addressed in test facilities: CTF@CERN except the Multi-Beam Klystron (MBK) which does not

require R&D but development by industry (feasibility study already done)

5-Y Review of CERN employment conditions

Aim : maintain competitiveness of CERN on the employment market

Provide better long-term career perspectives by increasing salary maxima in most career paths

Optimize possibilities of rewarding performance by increasing the amounts available for merit awards

Enhance family policy, in particular in order to be attractive to young recruits

Page 60: Overview of CERN Activities in 2005 Strategy for CERN Future 12 January 2006 R. Aymar

12 January 2006 60

Analysis of Data (CERN/FC/4824) Background

“For the analysis and use of the remuneration data collected, the Management proposes to determine the Organization’s main staff recruitment pool and to focus on the conditions in the Member States offering the most competitive employment terms in that area.

Determination of that main source of recruitment will be on the basis of the report drawn up on staff recruitment and retention”.

Page 61: Overview of CERN Activities in 2005 Strategy for CERN Future 12 January 2006 R. Aymar

12 January 2006 61

Salary Levels - Data Collected

Report on recruitment and retention shows that CERN’s main recruitment pool is private industry(2/3 of CERN staff recruited)

Member State offering most competitive conditions in industry for most benchmarks is Switzerland

=> Comparator retained is Swiss industry

Page 62: Overview of CERN Activities in 2005 Strategy for CERN Future 12 January 2006 R. Aymar

12 January 2006 62

Career Evolution Data collected

Merit orientation and modulation firmly established in the private sector and progressively adopted in the public sector

Reflects the increase in expertise with experience and hence market value: faster progression at beginning of career, flattening out with time

Page 63: Overview of CERN Activities in 2005 Strategy for CERN Future 12 January 2006 R. Aymar

12 January 2006 63

Given the diversity of the data collected, CERN will apply its own family policy

It is proposed to:

maintain lump-sum payment for all CP

increase the CERN family & child allowancesby 20%-30% respectively

ProposalFamily & Child Allowance Management proposal

Page 64: Overview of CERN Activities in 2005 Strategy for CERN Future 12 January 2006 R. Aymar

12 January 2006 64

Summary Management proposal

Increase of salary maxima in most career paths

Periodicity of advancement maintained (up to CP F)

Elimination of “Orange Zone”

Increased possibility to reward merit annually

Introduction of International Allowance

Increase of family & child allowances

Creation of a Creche facility

Introduction of a new definition of family

Improvement of family leave

PENSION FUND

Following the discussions at the Finance Committee, the Governing Board and TREF and within the on-going effort set out in 2004 to study and implement “a comprehensive package of measures…. relating to all parties to the Pension Fund, namely the active staff, the beneficiaries and the Organization, in order to improve the capacity of the Fund to meet its long-term liabilities,” the Council unanimously decided:

to approve Recommendations 1 to 4 and 6 to 11 by the Governing Board; to approve a limited increase in the contributions of the Organization and active

members to the Pension Fund, corresponding to a total of 0.63% of basic salary with effect from 1st January 2006;

to collect the following information: a comparison with other comparable European pension funds, which should be done in

2006; the triennial actuarial review, which must be scheduled for the end of 2006 to be

available in 2007; a comprehensive review of the current Rule and Regulations of the Pension Fund;

in order to examine the position of the Pension Fund in 2007 and take a decision on Recommendation 5 and on any other potential measures by the end of 2007.
