Wish you were in Iwate for last LCWS2016 workshop? Here are some impressions of Iwate, proposed region for the International Linear Collider. More than 320 participants from around the world gathered for one week to discuss the latest R&D developments, the linear collider physics case, detectors and accelerators and project management updates for the linear collider. Scientists […]

Impressions from the 2013 Linear Collider Workshop in Tokyo
Did you miss last week’s International Workshop on Future Linear Collider LCWS 2013 but wish you’d been there? Or were you one of the over 300 participants who discussed the physics case for a high energy linear electron-positron collider at the University of Tokyo? Whatever your motivation, here is a slideshow with some impression from the […]
Impressions from Hamburg
How do you keep a bunch of physicists and engineers entertained? Give them a sense of accomplishment (“we’ve finished the Technical Design Report!”), a challenge (“how can we tackle the problems of the next phase?”), a sense of momentum (good signals from Japan for potentially hosting the ILC). And a bag of gummy bears. This […]
Impressions from LCWS12
Linear Collider Workshops have broken records in the past – not only in number of parallel sessions held, but also in visitor numbers for particle slams, for example. Wednesday saw another such record: 1200 people attended Steven Weinberg’s lecture at the University of Texas in Arlington, which was the public event for the LCWS12 workshop. […]
Impressions from Daegu, Korea
Images: Nobuko Kobayashi (meeting series), KILC12 (group photo) and Tsunehiko Omori (feast image) This week, linear collider researchers meet in Daegu, Korea for KILC12. Among other topics, they discussed the final production stages of the Detailed Baseline Design and Technical Design Report. To top it all off, conference organisers are treating attendees to their choice […]
Tevatron tribute

Jean-Pierre Delahaye retires
Images: Erk Jensen (retirement reception) and Perrine Royole-Degieux (LCWS talk) Earlier this month Jean-Pierre Delahaye retired as CERN’s CLIC Study Leader. A reception was held in his honour at CERN. At this year’s International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders, he was given a conference banner signed by members of the linear collider community.
Impresiones from Granada
Images: Perrine Royole-Degieux, Jesús Díaz (computer series) and Monika Illenseer (vintage series) Linear collider researchers meet for five days this week in the grand Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos in Granada, Spain for the second International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders. Though a few local newspaper headlines would have readers believe that LCWS11 scientists debated […]
