From Fermilab Today: India's RRCAT director tours U.S. laboratories
If the ILC could be defined by one thing it would be superconducting radiofrequency technology or SCRF. This article from Fermilab Today describes how India is planning to work with US labs on developing this technology.
Vinod Sahni, director of Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology |
Vinod Sahni, the director of India's Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology, spent the greater part of December visiting U.S. laboratories. Tour stops included Brookhaven, SLAC and Fermilab, where he had the opportunity to discuss such activities as superconducting radiofrequency technology and Project X.

Together as one: ILD community meets in Zeuthen
Crowding around a new detector concept: the first ILD workshop took place in Zeuthen near Berlin in January |
A global project like the ILC depends on global cooperation. The contributors are scattered all over the world. Researchers cannot simply walk down the hall to get advice from a colleague because he is likely to sit somewhere half a world away. However, there is technology that helps scientists to cover these distances virtually: discussions in internet forums and regular telephone and video conferences are part of any scientist’s everyday life.

Death of Big Physics
...It is not simple cost-cutting. Rather, British physics is being decimated by incompetence, with the ministers and civil servants overseeing the budgetary process displaying a failure to comprehend global science budgets and a dangerous misunderstanding of how science makes progress.

US Budget: Reviving the ILC R&D programme
Barry Barish |
President Bush released his budget request for the US fiscal year 2009 (FY09) earlier this week. The three-trillion dollar budget proposal contains increases for research in the physical science in the US. The National Science Foundation (NSF) budget is to be increased by 14 percent, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) budget by 22 percent and within the DOE, the Office of Science budget is proposed to be increased by 19 percent. High-energy physics, which was cut by the FY08 Omnibus Bill to 695 million dollars, is increased in the proposed FY09 budget to 805 million dollars. The ILC R&D effort, which had effectively been zeroed out by the Omnibus Bill, is to be restored to 35 million dollars in the new budget proposal. .

Stringing it together

After four units of TESLA-style cavities had been assembled into a string in a KEK cleanroom in January (left) they are wheeled out for the assembly of the cold mass (right). This is now in full swing - more pictures to follow! (Images courtesy of Nobu Toge, KEK)
