Fermilab Prepares to Launch ILC Citizens Task Force
Fermilab's ILC Director Bob Kephart (right) also serves as an envoy and provided feedback on establishing an ILC Citizens Task Force. |
Earlier this fall, Fermilab instituted a Community Envoy Program to create and maintain meaningful relationships with people in the surrounding communities. After a training session on September 5, Fermilab matched 28 employees with key stakeholders, such as state representatives and homeowners associations, to provide information about the lab's projects, scientific goals and promising future. Last week, Fermilab's envoys reconvened to share progress reports on their first meetings with their stakeholders and to discuss future plans for launching an International Linear Collider Citizens Task Force.

EUDET: Leaving Milestones Behind
The Timepix chip is the first milestone to be achieved by four of the EUDET institutes. |
After almost one year of EUDET, things are looking rather good. The more than 100 scientists involved in the EU-funded project on integrated infrastructures for ILC detector R&D reached the major milestones set for the first year. They just held their first annual meeting at the Max Planck Institute of Physics in Munich from 18 to 20 October that brought together all partners, associates, interested institutes, the scientific advisory board and the scientific officer from Brussels responsible for EUDET.

A New Antimatter Engine Design
"...We are working on production of positrons in large quantities. We are getting a big boost from work being done for the International Linear Collider (ILC). The production rates required for the ILC are just a factor of 10-100 below those required for propulsion systems."

Worldwide Peer Reviews for ILC Detector R&D
Reaching the science goals for the ILC will require that both the collider performance and the capabilities of the detectors be consistent with the parameters set out by the ILCSC parameters group.
Francois Richard, WWS co-chair, and Chris Damerell, chair of the ILC Detector R&D Panel. |
For the ILC detectors, this will require improvements in both spatial and energy resolution. Around the world, experimentalists are pursuing an impressive and ambitious R&D programme that targets these goals, with some overall coordination provided through the Worldwide Study (WWS). The WWS sponsors an annual Linear Collider Workshop (LCWS) that is organized jointly with one of our triannual GDE meetings, providing the detector community with both a worldwide workshop and a forum for interactions and joint meetings with the ILC accelerator community.
