1 November 2019Scientists gathering in Sendai, Japan, for a scientific conference about a possible future particle physics project in Japan reconfirm the scientific importance of the ILC and express their commitment to make the ILC a success.
Rickard Ström | 14 March 2019The annual workshop of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) attracted more than 200 participants to CERN between 21 and 25 January. The annual workshop summarised the work done in 2018, including the completion of a project implementation plan. "The CLIC project offers a cost-effective and innovative technology and is ready to proceed towards construction with a Technical Design Report. Following the technology-driven timeline CLIC would realise electron-positron collisions at 380 GeV as soon as 2035," Steinar Stapnes, CLIC project leader, said. Read the full report.
