The 2021 International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS2021), arranged by Europe as an online conference with more than 900 registered participants, took place from 15 to 18 March. As earlier conferences in this series it was primarily devoted to the physics, detector, and accelerator studies for the Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) and the International […]
Successful visit to Europe: one big step for ILC realisation
“In short, it was a big success,” said Satoru Yamashita, project professor at the University of Tokyo, who was a member of a Japanese delegation that visited France and Germany in early January this year. The Japanese delegation consisted of 18 persons – Diet members, government officials, industry leaders, and scientists – and toured two […]
Crossing technical and cultural borders
EU project E-JADE fosters exchange between European and Japanese researchers
Oskar Hartbrich is a PhD student who specialises in developing state-of-the art calorimeters for future ILC detectors. He is also a specialist for full detectors simulations, and he has just spent nine weeks in Japan getting even deeper into this role, sitting side by side with other experts from Tokyo and Shinshu universities to further […]
Newly formed European linear collider forum to increase communication with the project board
The Linear Collider Board is the main decision body to promote and oversee the linear collider and its detectors as a worldwide collaborative project. In Europe, a new body, the European Linear Collider Forum has just been launched to channel European discussions concerning the ILC and CLIC and to facilitate input for the international Linear […]
Accelerating News: Synergies for testing Superconducting RF (SRF) cavities
Reminder: European ILC informal discussion
Last week’s issue of NewsLine announced a wrong date for the “Informal Discussion” to take place in conjunction with the French Linear Collider days. The meeting will take place on Friday, 29 November from 14:00 to 18:00 h at LAL Orsay. A special Indico page has been set up for this event.
European ILC informal discussion
In conjunction with the French Linear Collider days, the Linear Collider Collaboration (LCC) is organising an “Informal Discussion” about the current status of EU projects, in particular the future EU Horizon-2020 call and its implications for the ILC community. The meeting should include a few representatives from each European country. It will take place on […]
Europe launches update of strategy for particle physics
As the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland, is delivering its first results and as neutrino particles continue to reveal their properties in experiments around the world, particle physicists discuss the future of the field. During an exceptional session of the European Committee for Future Accelerators at the EPS-HEP2011 conference on 23 July, the particle […]
European detector experts join in the AIDA chorus
Scientists gather at CERN to launch the new AIDA project, a plan to ease collaboration among Europe's particle physics institutes
When a project has the musical name AIDA but is all about organising the future of detector technologies for particle physics, metaphors from the world of opera only go a certain way. It is therefore understandable, if a bit of a pity, that the 80 European institutes involved in the project decided to gather for […]
Linear collider technology in your body
New FP-7-health programme brings together hospitals and particle physics
A device used the linear collider’s hadronic calorimeter could soon help detect cancer. It would also be the central part of what is likely going to be the world’s smallest calorimeter – so tiny that it can fit on the tip of an endoscope to be inserted into a person’s stomach. Since January 2011, a […]
