The 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics emphasised the
importance of an intensified and well-coordinated programme of accelerator R&D,
supporting the design and delivery of future particle accelerators in a timely,
affordable and sustainable way. This report sets out a roadmap for European
accelerator R&D for the next five to ten years, covering five topical areas
identified in the Strategy update. The R&D objectives include: improvement of
the performance and cost-performance of magnet and radio-frequency acceleration
systems; investigations of the potential of laser / plasma acceleration and
energy-recovery linac techniques; and development of new concepts for muon
beams and muon colliders. The goal of the roadmap is to document the collective
view of the field on the next steps for the R&D programme, and to provide the
evidence base to support subsequent decisions on prioritisation, resourcing and
implementation.Comment: 270 pages, 58 figures. Editor: N. Mounet. LDG chair: D. Newbold.
