What becomes of the WWS?
This month's Research Director's Report was written by François Richard, co-chair of the Worldwide Study, regional detector contact for Europe
François Richard |
The readers of ILC NewsLine are by now well acquainted with the fast evolution occurring in the realm of Physics and Detector Management. For an up-to-date description of the Research Directorate see the new Physics and Detectors web page. Recall that the starting point has been the World Wide Study, WWS, organised in 1998 and initially in charge of monitoring the progress of these activities through regional and worldwide workshops. The WWS has also set up a number of general panels dealing for example with R&D on detectors, software coordination and the machine-detector interface (MDI) in collaboration with the Global Design Effort. When needed, the WWS has created specialised panels, for example for the RDR a costing panel.

A note from the editors
The news this week reflect of course the big event in particle physics: the start-up of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
But there's more. Many of the articles and blogs also refer to future projects. In the selection below, we try to gather some interesting pieces where the future of colliders and particularly the ILC are addressed. We think that this is a clear sign that this celebration benefits particle physics and the science community. Enjoy! |

The Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge Laboratory
Aerial view of the Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source |
A few weeks ago, while at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a panelist at the National Science and Technology Summit, I had the opportunity to visit the recently completed Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science has funded the construction of this new 1.4-billion-dollar accelerator-based neutron source, which provides the world’s most intense pulsed neutron beams for scientific research and industrial development. This project promises to move neutron science into a new era and both the execution of the project and some key technologies are of important to our efforts towards the International Linear Collider.

Symmetry Explains it in 60 Seconds: Positron
by Youhei Morita, KEK, Japan, for symmetry magazine
A positron is the antimatter partner of an electron. It has exactly the same mass as an electron but has the opposite electric charge. When kept separate from matter, positrons can exist forever. However, when a positron meets an electron, the two particles annihilate into a flash of energy. (Read more)
