CERN balances linear collider studies

At CERN, gradually formed cooperation between CLIC and the ILC is the way to go

| 13 October 2011

The forces behind the two most mature proposals for a next-generation collider, the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study, have been steadily coming together, with scientists from both communities sharing ideas and information across the technology divide. In at least nominal support of cooperation between the two, CERN in Switzerland, […]

First linear collider power distribution and pulsing workshop

, and | 16 June 2011

Lowering power consumption is not only an earth-friendly undertaking. It is also a key issue for particle physicists to solve to design the next generation of collider experiments. Detectors will measure signals recorded in millions of readout channels. At the same time, the pulsed-bunch structure of the future lepton collider beams suggests that detectors should […]

The ILC-CLIC collaboration and technological challenges

| 24 November 2010

Director’s Corner 24 November 2010 Kaoru Yokoya The ILC-CLIC collaboration and technological challengesToday’s issue features a Director’s Corner from Kaoru Yokoya, Global Design Effort Asian Regional Director. In recent years, the collaboration between the ILC and CLIC communities has developed and evolved, and Barry Barish has reported on this collaboration in previous corners. Working groups […]

Formalising and extending the ILC-CLIC collaboration

| 4 February 2010

Director’s Corner 4 February 2010 Barry Barish Formalising and extending the ILC-CLIC collaboration The ILC-CLIC collaborative work has become an important element in our activities. In addition to the technical interchange and joint work through seven working groups, we held a Global Design Effort Executive Committee meeting at CERN last June and will organise a […]

Formalising the CLIC-ILC collaboration

| 13 November 2008

Director’s Corner 13 November 2008 Barry Barish Formalising the CLIC-ILC collaboration Collaboration between our ILC R&D and design work and the parallel effort towards the CLIC concept stands to be of benefit to both groups. This direction also promises to help break down barriers between the two groups, making the worldwide effort towards a linear […]

ILC meets the CLIC team

| 28 February 2008

After the Large Hadron Collider, the science community agrees that particle physicists will need an electron-positron linear collider to fully understand and discover the potential new science at high energy regimes. Apart from the International Linear Collider – whose ‘cold’ accelerating technology is based on superconducting radiofrequency cavities – another variant of an electron collider, […]
