MOXKI01	LHC: Construction and Commissioning Status	1
	L. R. Evans
	The LHC is now in its final phase of hardware commissioning. The whole ring is complete apart from a few elements in the matching regions yet to be installed. The first of the eight sectors has been cooled down and power tests to full energy are underway. Beam commissioning will start as soon as the last sector becomes available, hopefully before the end of 2007. The commissioning plan foresees a short "engineering" run with colliding beams at or near the injection energy of 450 GeV. This will be followed by a shutdown to finish installing the detectors and to commission the last sectors to full current. A review of the commissioning status to date will be given.

MOXKI02	Status of the Global Design Initiative for an ILC	6
	B. C. Barish
	Report on ILC status and perspectives focusing mostly on the machine design status and issues. The key features of reference design will be reviewed. The evolving plans for develooping an engineering design and the associated R&D program will be discussed.

MOXKI03	Status of the SNS - Machine and Science	7
	S. Henderson
	Funding: ORNL/SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for the U. S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) will be the world's leading pulsed neutron source, with design beam power capability of 1.4 MW. The SNS Construction Project was completed in June 2006. The accelerator complex was successfully commissioned during the construction phase of the project in seven discrete commissioning runs. The facility is now in the first of a three year performance ramp-up phase, in which the beam power, reliability and operating time will be increased to the baseline design values of 1.4 MW, 90% and 5000 hours respectively. Meanwhile, neutron scattering instruments are being constructed and commissioned in preparation for full user operations in 2009. The progress toward bringing the SNS to its full capabilities will be presented.
