ILC Preparatory Laboratory proposal released

by Tatsuya Nakada

After ten months of work, the ILC International Development Team, mandated to prepare the ILC Preparatory Laboratory, is reaching the first milestone with the release of a proposal which outlines the organisational framework, an implementation model and work plan of the Pre-lab. Many scientists contributed to this effort, showing the great interest of the community in the ILC project. A signal from the Japanese government towards indicating its interest in hosting the ILC and supporting the Pre-lab would now be required for gaining stronger engagement of interested laboratories around the world.

ILCX 2021: Let’s discuss about possible experimental opportunities at the ILC

by Hitoshi Murayama

With the growing anticipation that the ILC Pre-lab will be launched in the near future, the serious discussions about all the possible experimental opportunities at the ILC laboratory should be initiated. For this purpose, the ILC International Development Team (IDT) will hold the ILC Workshop on Potential ILC Experiments (ILCX) , from 26 - 29 October, 2021.

Accelerating around the globe: big logistics experiment kicks off with Pre-lab phase

by Barbara Warmbein

The devil is in the detail. If a particle physics experiment doesn’t work, it’s often the low-tech components that cause trouble, not the high-tech ones, because the high-tech ones have been tested to the core. To avoid teething and logistics problems for the ILC, a project called “Cryomodule Global Transfer” will kick off next year.

    Co ciekawe, w prefekturze Iwate być może powstanie Międzynarodowy Zderzacz Liniowy (ILC, International Linear Collider). ——–
    Koszt budowy urządzenia wynosi około 7 mld dolarów, a wokół niego powinno powstać miasteczko naukowe, zamieszkiwane przez około 10 tys. osób personelu. (Interestingly, the International Linear Collider (ILC) may be built in Iwate Prefecture.———The cost of building the device is about $ 7 billion, and a science town with a population of about 10,000 people should be built around it. staff people.)

    巨大加速器「国際リニアコライダー」の誘致に向け、高エネルギー加速器研究機構が設立を目指す「ILC準備研究所」の概要が20日、わかった。世界の研究機関が参加する国際的な組織として、18の専門分野ごとに実験装置の製造や品質評価を行う。KEKは2022年に準備研究所を設立し、25年に技術設計を取りまとめる方針だ。(The outline of the “ILC Preparatory Laboratory”, which KEK aims to establish to attract the giant accelerator “International Linear Collider”, was revealed on the 20th. As an international organization in which research institutes from around the world participate, we manufacture experimental equipment and evaluate quality in each of 18 specialized fields. KEK plans to establish a preparatory research institute in 2022 and coordinate technical design in 2013.)

    力争以日美欧为中心建设的“国际直线对撞机”(International Linear Collider,ILC)是被期待为新物理理论打开突破口的新一代对撞机。它将重现宇宙诞生时的状态,探索物理学的新理论和宇宙的真面目。日本东北地区的北上山地成为候选建设地,力争2035年前后投入运行。(The International Linear Collider (ILC), which strives to build Japan, the United States and Europe as the center, is a new generation of colliders that is expected to open a breakthrough for new physical theories. It will reproduce the state of the universe when it was born, and explore new theories of physics and the true face of the universe. The Kitakami Mountains in Northeast Japan has become a candidate for construction sites, and strive to put it into operation around 2035.)

    Druhou bolo pohoršenie katolíckej cirkvi z označovania Higgsovho bozónu za „Božskú časticu“. Na podobnom kruhovom urýchľovači pracujú už aj v Číne. Japonci sa zas pohrávajú s myšlienkou zostrojenia lineárneho urýchľovača – ILC (International Linear Collider, teda Medzinárodný lineárny urýchľovač).(The second was the outrage of the Catholic Church in calling the Higgs boson a “divine particle.” They are already working on a similar circular accelerator in China. The Japanese are toying with the idea of building a linear accelerator – ILC (International Linear Collider, ie International Linear Accelerator).

    Física de partículas y detectores La colaboración franco-japonesa propone investigar las propiedades del Bosón de Higgs con el apoyo del experimento ATLAS, uno de los siete detectores de partículas construido en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones (LHC), y del International Linear Collider (ILC), un acelerador lineal electrón-positrón. El Bosón de Higgs, que requirió 20 años de trabajo de investigación, fue observado por primera vez en 2012 en el LHC. Probablemente será reemplazado por un acelerador aún mayor que podría instalarse en Japón.(Particle physics and detectors The Franco-Japanese collaboration proposes to investigate the properties of the Higgs Boson with the support of the ATLAS experiment, one of the seven particle detectors built in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the International Linear Collider (ILC ), an electron-positron linear accelerator.
