Director's Corner
by Hitoshi Murayama
In Whistler, British Columbia, some two hundred physicists gathered to the annual Linear Collider Workshop. As the last speaker of the meeting, I tried to summarise the status of various collider options currently under discussion. In particular, I tried to clarify their readiness and timelines.

More than 18000 visitors flock to DESY campus on its open day
by Barbara Warmbein
The German research centre DESY opened its doors to the public on 7 November, a day now known as DESY DAY. More than 18000 visitors came to see real accelerators, braving long queues and Hamburg drizzle to walk through parts of the European XFEL, PETRA or HERA accelerators, to visit DESY's workshops and partner labs on campus, learn about vacuum, magnetism, cryo technology, molecular biology, crystal and much more. Some of them even discovered the Higgs, which was roaming around on campus, happy to be photographed.

IEEE Spectrum is een van de vele websites waar men melding maakt van de Chinese plannen voor een Super Proton-Proton Collider (SPPC), een circulaire tunnel van 54 km lengte waarin rond 2040 protonen tegen elkaar moeten gaan knallen met een energie van 100 TeV (tera-elektronvolt); dat is zeven keer de maximale energie van de botsingen in de Large Hadron Collider (LHC) van CERN.

The benefits of this digital engineering approach has proved a success and it is being further applied on the International Linear Collider (ILC) project, a 34km long particle accelerator tunnel project that is potentially being hosted by KEK in Japan. – See more at: http://www.noodls.com/viewNoodl/30710426/arup-group-limited/arup-engineer-wins-international-glossop-award#sthash.BmdvQP9P.dpuf

What comes after the Large Hadron Collider?
The main successor concept is the International Linear Collider (ILC), which would smash together electrons with a “center of mass energy” of up to one tera-electron volt. It is currently in an advanced state of discussion between scientists mainly from American, European, and Japanese particle physics institutes. The proposed machine would be a “Higgs factory”, performing experiments with large numbers of Higgs bosons, allowing a better understanding of the still enigmatic particle.
