Lots of new ideas for physics at the ILC discussed during ILCX If you think that the International Linear Collider (ILC) is going to be a one-trick pony for studying the Higgs boson, think again. In fact, think research for self-driving cars, think dark matter with axions or dark photons, customs X-rays in a tunnel, […]
ILC-Japan: rebuilding trust and support for the ILC
ILC-Japan, a new promoting body for the International Linear Collider project, was launched this spring. ILC NewsLine interviewed Shoji Asai, chair of ILC-Japan, to learn more about it. What is ILC-Japan? How is it different from former organisations like the ILC Steering Panel? Asai: The objective of ILC-Japan and the ILC Steering Panel are basically […]
Snowmass is rebooting
The Snowmass/P5 process is starting up again in the United States. Now is the time to participate if you are not already involved: attend Snowmass working group meetings, mark the 2022 Community Summer Study in your calendar, educate yourself, and make your own views known. Snowmass and P5, which stands for Particle Physics Project Prioritization […]
Ready to take the next step
3D simulation image of ILD detector Image: Akiya Miyamoto Things are busy at the ILD detector concept at the ILC. ILD stands for “International Large Detector”, and this is one of two current detector concept groups at the ILC. The ILD team has just published its interim design report (IDR) in which the current state […]
ILCX: hybrid or fully online
Poster for the ILCX 2021 workshop. We have been planning for the coming ILCX 2021 workshop from 26 to 29 October 2021. We have a preliminary graphics for the poster and Local Organising Committee is working hard to understand logistics. Last week, Local Organising Committee and IDT Executive Board made the decision to hold the […]
Unite behind the ILC now
Artist’s impression of the ILC. (Image: Rey.Hori) There is no United States of Asia, nor an AU (an Asian version of the EU), nor is there any likelihood of such a union. However, Asian countries are highly engaged internationally and Asian scientists continue to be at the forefront of international science. There is no prospect […]
Invitation to join the SiD Consortium for the ILC
The SiD Detector is one of two major detector designs for the future International Linear Collider (ILC). SID features a compact, cost-constrained design for precision Higgs, top and other measurements, and sensitivity to a wide range of possible new phenomena. Since SiD has been validated by the International Detector Advisory Group there have been significant […]
Accelerating around the globe: big logistics experiment kicks off with Pre-lab phase
When the Pre-Lab phase kicks off with the beginning of next year, there’ll be an enormous increase of ILC R&D activities around the world. One of these is a project called “Cryomodule Global Transfer” – though “a global logistics ballet of accelerator parts” would be just as fitting. Over a period of four years, six […]
ILC Preparatory Laboratory proposal released
The ILC International Development Team (IDT) was established by the International Committee for Future Accelerator (ICFA) in August 2020, to prepare the ILC Preparatory Laboratory (Pre-lab) that would complete the technical development and engineering preparation for the International Linear Collider project to be ready for construction. During the same period, governmental authorities of interested nations […]
ILCX 2021: Let’s discuss about possible experimental opportunities at the ILC
The ILC International Development Team (IDT) will hold the ILC Workshop on Potential ILC Experiments (ILCX) , from 26 – 29 October, 2021. With the growing anticipation that the preparatory laboratory (Pre-lab) will be launched in the near future, we would like to initiate serious discussions about all the possible experimental opportunities at the ILC laboratory.
