A new way to tackle project management for the ILC

Change Management as a new tool for the ILC project to move forward

by Ricarda Laasch

The technical design for the ILC was published in 2012. What happens if new technologies influence this design, or it needs to be adapted to the very specific conditions at the future site? A group called "Change Management" oversees, decides upon and documents all the changes to the design. Here is how it works.

ILC the discovery machine

by Hitoshi Yamamoto

It is often said that the ILC is a precision machine. One should note, however, that the ILC is actually a discovery machine that can find new phenomena and new particles LHC would not be able to discover. Hitoshi Yamamoto explains a few unique features of the ILC that make discovery possible.

    The panel of experts gave three recommendations: 1) To get the prospects for cost sharing among countries and for getting scientific results worth the massive investment 2) That the performance and obtainable results from the ILC be assessed by sufficiently analyzing and evaluating experimental trends of the LHC, and that solutions for technical issues and for reducing cost risks be made clear, and 3) To work for the understanding and consensus of the Japanese people and of other scientific fields.

    Работники новосибирского Института ядерной физики (ИЯФ) СО РАН примут участие в строительстве линейного коллайдера стоимостью в 10 млрд долларов в Японии, с помощью которого изучат свойства тёмной материи, рассказал изданию СО РАН «Наука в Сибири» главный научный сотрудник ИЯФ Валерий Тельнов. (Novosibirsk Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) will take part in the construction of a linear collider, worth $ 10 billion in Japan, with which examine the properties of dark matter, said chief researcher of the INP Valery Tel’nov.)

    Правда, россиян включат в этот масштабный проект лишь в том случае, если будет принято решение на международном уровне о создании коллайдера. (True, the Russians will include in this large-scale project only if it is decided at the international level for the establishment of the collider.)
