Meet John Osborne
The three Conventional Facilities & Siting Group leaders (left to right), Vic Kuchler, John Osborne and Atsushi Enomoto. |
International Linear Collider workshops tend to be hectic. Meetings are scheduled back to back and often overlap. The days start early and end late. The coffee breaks are a brief, necessary respite. In a virtual collaboration, the three Conventional Facilities & Siting Group leaders understand that face to face time is precious, making it easy to spot the trio together. A meal together here and a coffee there can add up to a lot, and the CFS group leaders take advantage of every minute. For this next workshop at Fermilab from 22-26 October, however, there will be a new CFS co-leader on the block – John Osborne from CERN.

Telescope arms open wide
Some members of the JRA1 team took their telescope on a tour. |
The EUDET telescope, a high-precision device that lets detector developers check the accuracy of their prototype by using particle beams and the EUDET telescope and comparing with accurately its determined tracks, has just finished a marathon in test beams around Europe. During six weeks in beams at DESY and CERN its makers tested it to the core and are now happy to pass their instrument on to users.

International Linear Collider launches new
"Gateway to the Quantum Universe" report and website
The International Linear Collider community today released a new report, "The International Linear Collider - Gateway to the Quantum Universe" to mark the beginning of a new phase for the proposed particle accelerator. The document serves as a companion piece to the recently published Reference Design Report and highlights the scientific goals and technical challenges of the proposed machine. The report also has a companion website at www.linearcollider.org/gateway.

Fête de la Science in France
The whole of France is celebrating a week of science this week. Many CNRS labs open their gates to schoolkids and the general public, stage exhibitions, talks and hands-on experiments. The kids in the picture are busy experimenting with a 'nervosimeter' - an ingenious device that tells your state of calm - at LAL in Orsay.

Frosting on the cake
Today we mark the conclusion of the Reference Design Report phase of the International Linear Collider Global Design Effort with the release of our document, The International Linear Collider: Gateway to the Quantum Universe.
The companion to the RDR: Gateway to the Quantum Universe |
This new document is a companion to our four-volume technical set, the Reference Design Report, that describes the physics of the terascale, the ILC reference design and detector concepts. In fact, the companion document is, in a sense, the frosting on our four-layer cake. It tells our story to a much broader and less technical audience, including policy makers, scientists in other fields, and scientifically interested members of the general public. The RDR companion document can be requested online at www.linearcollider.org/gateway, a website that features the complete content of the report.
