The image shows the assembly work of the cold mass for an ILC cryomodule in the superconducting rf test facility (STF) at KEK. Since the STF tunnel has a limitation for the size of the components to bring in, only half-size modules could be assembled before. STF now is equipped with new assembly facility in the tunnel, and this will be the first full-size ILC cryomodule to be assembled at KEK. This cryomodule will have a beam position monitor and a superconducting quadruple magnet in the centre, planned to be completed in December. In January, scientists will connect another half-size cryomodule, and start the cooling test in June.

Pour aller plus loin, il faudra attendre le redémarrage du LHC en 2015. On espère surtout que les modes de désintégration du Higgs permettront d’avoir accès à de la nouvelle physique, comme la supersymétrie. Mais peut-être faudra-t-il attendre la mise en service de l’ILC pour cela.

Last week, the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, showed evidence for the first time that a Higgs boson decays into a pair of tau particles. It is one of the crucial results that has followed on from the discovery of the Higgs boson.

小林さんは「標準理論は決して究極のものではない。未知の素粒子があり、未知の相互作用がある。それが研究の大きな課題だ」と述べ、国際リニアコライダー(ILC)など次世代の計画に期待を寄せた。Makoto Konayashi said “Standard model is not an ultimate theory. There should be unknown particles, and unknown interactions. Those are the questions to solve”, expecting the next generation project such as ILC.)

The intent is not just to keep data for posterity. Old data can be mined to test new theories and provide crucial references for new experiments, says Diaconu. Before the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012, for example, the Large Electron–Positron collider — the LHC’s predecessor at CERN — came back into the spotlight as physicists scoured its 1990s-era data, looking for an exotic type of Higgs that had not been theorized at the time the data had been gathered.

V minulých letech neměli američtí fyzikové na tak velké projekty dost peněz. I dnes je VLHC jen jednou z možných variant strategických investic do částicové fyziky. Dalšími variantami jsou například zdokonalování samotného LHC, spolupráce na mezinárodním lineárním urychlovači v Japonsku nebo zkoumání velmi intenzivních neutrinových svazků v americké Fermiho národní laboratoři (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory – Fermilab).

Jak zauważają niektórzy fizycy obecnie pieniądze przeznaczane są na rozbudowę LHC, który przez najbliższe dwa lata będzie udoskonalany tak, by osiągnąć maksymalne energie zderzeń, planowana jest budowa International Linear Collider w Japonii, a fizycy z USA skupiają się na wykorzystaniu bardzo intensywnych strumieni neutrino generowanych w Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Digamos que los aceleradores de tipo drónico, como el LHC, son esenciales para lograr grandes energías con las que hacer descubrimientos. El ILC trabajará para hacer medidas finas; aunque también podría alumbrar descubrimientos. Para entendernos, podríamos estudiar el propio Higgs con mucho más detalle.

Wat is de toekomst van het fameuze CERN? Heeft het een antwoord op de plannen voor de International Linear Collider die hoogstwaarschijnlijk in Japan gebouwd gaat worden? De Japanse overheid is bereid de helft van de kosten voor zijn rekening te nemen, dus er komt flink beweging op dit terrein op wereldschaal.
