The majority of the questions fielded were about the P5 report’s recommendation to form a new international collaboration that would build a long-baseline neutrino facility at Fermilab.

In the coming years, CERN researchers in Switzerland want to generate never-before seen components of matter in their particle accelerator to solve one of astrophysics biggest mysteries: the nature of dark matter.

岩手県南と宮城県北にまたがる北上山地が候補地になっている超大型加速器「国際リニアコライダー（ＩＬＣ）」誘致の機運を高めようと、岩手県一関市は宮城県北の自治体と連携し、同県にＰＲ看板を設置する。設置するのは宮城県気仙沼、登米、栗原、大崎４市各１カ所の国道沿いなど。(Iwate prefecture’s Ichinoseki city government cooperates with 4 cities in Miyagi prefecture, Kesen-numa, Tome, Kurihara, and Osaki, in the effort to invite the ILC to the region, put up the ILC sign board along side the road.)

At the LHC Physics Conference in New York, experts looked to the next steps in collider physics.

Now, the man who literally wrote the book on superconducting radio-frequency technology is leading Fermilab’s Technical Division and the laboratory’s SRF program.

Physicists see both the LHC v3.0 and the ILC (or a like contraption) as essential follow-ups to their recent discoveries. Both machines would perform extra-high-precision measurements to check whether the Higgs is playing its intended theoretical roles.

The clean-room assembly of a 1.3 GHz ILC 9-cell superconducting RF cavity in a test cryomodule was completed at IHEP on May 23rd 2014.
