Unified versus plug compatible designs

| 11 October 2007 We are now making the transition from completing the International Linear Collider reference design to beginning the engineering design phase by holding a set of kick-off meetings to cover the major areas of the machine. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: ,

New detector leadership for the ILC

| 4 October 2007 We are dedicating this special issue of ILC NewsLine to the appointment of the new ILC Research Director, Sakue Yamada of KEK Laboratory and the University of Tokyo. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: ,

Project X at Fermilab

| 20 September 2007 These days it seems that the questions I am asked most frequently are not about what gradient we will achieve for the ILC, not who will be the ILC Research Director, the next SLAC Director or the CERN Director General. Instead, I receive both genuine and rhetorical questions about Fermilab's proposed Project X. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , ,

Towards organising the ILC engineering design effort

| 13 September 2007 In order to have the strength and organisation we need to carry out an ILC engineering design over the next three years, the GDE Executive Committee has been carefully considering how to reorganise our efforts following completion of the Reference Design Report.

The Reference Design Report is now official

| 6 September 2007 We released a draft version of the ILC Reference Design Report last February. Since that time, the accelerator section has undergone reviews by the ILCSC Machine Advisory Committee and by a special international panel for our cost estimates and future plans.

Congratulations Tor

| 23 August 2007 For more than two decades now, SLAC has been pursuing R&D toward a TeV-scale linear collider. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged:

Physics of the top quark

| 16 August 2007 This week I am participating in the XXIII International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energy (LP07) in Daegu, Korea from 13 to 18 August 2007. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: ,

Siting the ILC: Reference design for the conventional facilities

| 9 August 2007 Where will the ILC be built? This is one of the first questions people ask me whenever I give a presentation on our ambitions to build a new accelerator for particle physics. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , ,

100th issue of ILC Newsline

| 2 August 2007 The Global Design Effort was created by the International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) under an MoU, which was initially signed by eleven countries. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged:

FALC meeting in Rome

| 26 July 2007 One of our most important and challenging goals for the ILC will be to develop government agreements that will underlie a true international governance for the ILC. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , ,
