From SLAC Today: symmetry Magazine launches new online format
Check out symmetry Magazine's
new website.
|
The latest issue of symmetry launches the next phase of the magazine's development. Our readers now use the magazine in different ways, and we are reaching a much larger audience. While readers are outspoken in wanting to keep the print magazine, many of them are now more comfortable reading online.

Accelerator Advisory Panel to help Project Managers
The new Accelerator Advisory Panel met for the first time in Sendai. |
The TILC08 meeting in Sendai saw the first gathering of the new Accelerator Advisory Panel (AAP). Other than the yet to be established Project Advisory Committee, which will be formed following a request from the International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) and will consist mainly of machine and detector experts from outside the ILC community, the AAP is an internal body, there to advise the Global Design Effort director and to give critical recommendations.

Last Collider Standing
... American physicists hope the answer lies in hosting the proposed International Linear Collider at Fermilab. But there's competition from Europe and Japan, and Congress has reduced funding this year for research on that multibillion-dollar machine.

Word of the Week: Linear Collider
A linear collider employs a linear accelerator to create two beams of accelerated particles that are smashed together, and the results of those collisions are measured by particle physics detectors.

The ILC in Osaka
Fumihiko Takasaki (KEK Trustee and former GDE Regional Director) conferring with Sachio Komamiya (University of Tokyo) during the symposium. |
Last week, the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Physical Society of Japan was held on the Kinki University campus in Osaka, where I participated in a special symposium dedicated to the International Linear Collider. This was an important opportunity to expose our motivations, plans and progress towards a linear collider to colleagues from other fields of physics. The session consisted first of an introductory set of talks by Sachio Komamiya, Sakue Yamada and myself, followed by a set of more specialised talks on the accelerator and detector R&D programmes.

Crab cavity?
At last week's Japanese Physical Society meeting in Osaka, Japan (see Director's Corner), representatives of the ILC management also sampled some local specialities. Whether this will have any influence on the design of the ILC's crab cavity remains unclear...
