Japanese researchers plan to choose a final candidate by the end of July for submission to the government for approval.

…l’ILC fait se rencontrer des particules élémentaires, les électrons et les positrons, dont les interactions sont moins complexes et dont on peut bien maîtriser l’énergie. Il devrait donc nous livrer des informations plus précises», indique pour sa part Sandro de Cecco, du Laboratoire de physique nucléaire et des hautes énergies du CNRS, à Paris.

All of the world’s major particle accelerators, including the LHC and Tevatron, are circular accelerators — which is why the International Linear Collider is so interesting.

The government has decided to solicit construction in Japan of the International Linear Collider (ILC), a next-generation particle accelerator that will allow physicists to explore rudimentary questions about the universe, the Nikkei said.

El Informe Técnico de Diseño, en el que han trabajado expertos de más de un centenar de universidades y laboratorios de 12 países, incluye un plan de trabajo para ponerlo en marcha.

The blueprints are ready. If it gets funded, the multibillion-dollar International Linear Collider could help solve the mystery of cosmic dark matter.

A team of scientists unveiled the technical designs for the International Linear Collider (ILC), a proposed particle accelerator that could unravel the deepest mysteries of the universe.

The ILC will be able to study this elusive particle in greater detail and boasts extra-sensitive instruments to measure the collisions between electrons and positrons, which are crashed into one another at high speeds in the hope of producing a Higgs Boson. All that’s left to do now is pitch the design to governments. Oh, and build it.

Hoy se presenta a escala mundial el que debe ser el futuro gran acelerador de partículas, el ILC (siglas en inglés de Colisionador Lineal Internacional), y sus detectores. Será una máquina lineal, en lugar de circular, medirá 35 kilómetros y Japón quiere alojarla.

Si chiama Ilc, presentato in Giappone, Europa e Usa. Il progetto ha coinvolto una squadra internazionale di ricerca che comprende oltre mille fra ricercatori e ingegneri di oltre 100 universita’ e laboratori di oltre 20 Paesi. L’Italia partecipa, nell’ambito del Cern, con l’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (Infn).

But there are still two major obstacles standing in the way of the construction of the ILC at this point, namely, finding a host country for the project and funding it. Japan is the leading likely candidate for where the new collider may be built, with two potential sites located in the mountains, where construction is more challenging.

È all’apice della “carriera” e della fama, soprattutto dopo la scoperta del bosone di Higgs, ma il più grande acceleratore di particelle del mondo ha già un successore. Ha avuto infatti luce verde la costruzione dell’International Linear Collider (Ilc), un acceleratore lineare che avrà il compito di completare e approfondire le scoperte fatte con l’Lhc e, forse, fare i primi passi nel regno della cosiddetta “nuova fisica”.

Физики из многих стран мира закончили работу над техническим проектом ускорителя нового поколения — Международного линейного коллайдера (ILC), “наследника” Большого адронного коллайдера (БАК), говорится в сообщении коллаборации линейного коллайдера, которая объединяет множество ученых, в том числе из России.

Een internationale groep van wetenschappers heeft zijn goedkeuring gegeven aan een ontwerp voor een nieuwe deeltjesversneller. Deze International Linear Collider wordt langer dan de Large Hadron Collider en wordt waarschijnlijk in Japan gebouwd.

El documento (…) contiene todos los elementos necesarios para proponer la construcción del nuevo colisionador, el ILC, a los gobiernos colaboradores e incluye un diseño técnico y un plan de implementación “realista y optimizado para un rendimiento, coste y riesgo”.

Doğrusal Çarpıştırıcı Birliği (Linear Collider Collaboration), Uluslararası Doğrusal Çarpıştırıcı projesi için bir çalışma (PDF) yayınladı. 31 Km uzunluğundaki elektron-pozitron çarpıştırıcısı, CERN’in şu an kullandığı Büyük Hadron Çarpıştırıcısı’ndan fiziksel olarak ve performans bakımından katbekat güçlü.

All these factors combine to position the ILC as a complementary device to the LHC, its purpose. (…) In short, the ILC will make precision measurements where the LHC leaves off. For instance, the linac will measure the mass, spin and strength of the Higgs boson’s interaction with other particles. It will also go after the elusive dark matter.

“The LHC is a very noisy machine. For every billion collisions we get just one Higgs boson. The ILC is a precision instrument designed as a Higgs factory,” Lyn Evans, Cern’s project leader for the ILC, said. (… )”The next enormous prizes for these machines is finding dark matter, which makes up most of the mass in the universe but so far has never been seen,” he said.

The LHC’s successor, the International Linear Collider (ILC), will smash subatomic particles together with such force that it could reveal evidence for new forms of matter and extra dimensions of space.

Local governments, businesses and academic institutions in Kyushu have launched all-out joint efforts to host a proposed next-generation particle accelerator to study fundamental questions about the universe’s makeup.

Japan will choose a site as early as next month for a proposed next-generation particle accelerator to study the fundamental components of the universe, according to the head of the selection panel.

Now that Japan has expressed interest in hosting the International Linear Collider, the next-generation particle collider that will seek to better understand phenomena including the Higgs boson and dark matter, the big question is where in Japan the 31-kilometer-long machine might be built.
