We are turning the last corner towards the completion of Detailed Baseline Design (DBD), which we plan to complete at the end of the year together with the Global Design Effort’s Technical Design Report (TDR) for the ILC accelerator. In a few weeks each of the two detector groups will submit a detailed outline of […]
December events and challenges ahead
Finally – finally we start to see results from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that can provide guidance towards a linear collider implementation. It is too early to be conclusive, and more data is definitely needed, but we can be optimistic and excited about 2012. The LHC experiments are zooming in on a low energy […]
