Conventional Facilities and Siting Group Well Represented at VLCW06
The Conventional Facilities and Siting Group at VLCW06. |
Fifteen members dedicated to conventional facilities and siting for the International Linear Collider participated in the Vancouver Linear Collider Workshop 2006 – a record number for the group. Prior to the workshop through their weekly videoconferences, the three group leaders, Jean-Luc Baldy of CERN, Vic Kuchler of Fermilab and Atsushi Enomoto of KEK, encouraged everyone to attend the meeting in Vancouver. The outcome resulted in participants from Fermilab, SLAC, CERN, KEK and JINR.
"There are enormous benefits to having everyone come face to face and participate with the other area systems and with their points of contact," Kuchler said. "These formal and informal discussions are essential to the progress that we have been able to make so far."

Beijing collider intensifies focus on tau–charm physics
A major upgrade of the Beijing Electron–Positron Collider will give it the world's highest luminosity in the collision energy range 2 to 4.2 GeV, a physics-rich niche that, China's high-energy physicists hope, will attract international collaborators.

Reflections on VLCW06: Physics and Detectors
Jack Gunion reviewed ILC Terascale Physics at VLCW06. |
The University of British Columbia, located in beautiful Vancouver, was the venue of a joint American Linear Collider Planning Group (ALCPG) and GDE workshop, attended by 300 participants from 19-23 July. The programme ranged from very practical issues such as cost estimates for the ILC to discussions of the latest theoretical developments in the field. Such a broad programme is the result of our concerted efforts to bring ILC detector/physics and accelerator communities closer together. Holding joint meetings enables us to inform each other and to work together on problems of mutual interest, like the joint science performance of the accelerator and detectors.
