Impresiones from Granada

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. Attendees discuss the latest accelerator and detector R&D, review the work needed to complete milestone reports for the projects and discuss research in a post-TDR era. The vibrant social programme included a visit to the grand, ornate Alhambra palace. View the slideshow.
