Asian ILC researchers gathered in Korea

From 29 to 30 September, the second Asia ILC R&D Seminar was held at Kyungpook National University (KNU) in Korea with help from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Core University Program and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation. This workshop aimed to review the progress of R&D for the ILC accelerator in Asia region, and to promote regional and inter-regional collaborations on the accelerator and active participations from individual countries to ILC, focusing on the installation schedule and preparation for commissioning.

From Jefferson Lab News: ILC Electron Source Gets Help from JLab

With the activation of the LHC, or Large Hadron Collider, some particle physicists are now looking forward to the next big machine. For many, that's the International Linear Collider.
The ILC aims to break new ground in particle physics by slamming a beam of electrons into a beam of the electron's alter ego: the positron.
Half of the collider's beam is very familiar to the scientists and engineers at Jefferson Lab, who operate and continue to develop the technology that
provides the lab's CEBAF accelerator with electrons. It only seems natural, then, that the ILC design team came to Jefferson Lab for assistance in developing its own electron source.

STFC gives extra money for grants
...We have known for a few months now which facilities would be funded by the STFC in full — and which, like the Gemini telescopes and the ILC, would see the UK’s involvement cut back. What was not known, though, was how much research grants would be slashed.

2nd Asia ILC R&D Seminar
The 2nd Asia ILC R&D Seminar |
One year ago, I participated in an ILC R&D seminar organised during the China Center for Advanced Science and Technology (CCAST) workshop in Beijing. That successful seminar provided a forum for discussing all the Asian ILC R&D technical work, as well as giving the ILC some visibility in China. I was pleased that a second ILC R&D seminar was being organised in Daegu, Korea at the end of September, and again I agreed to participate. The ILC Global Design Effort is structured around a regional organisation, where we have regional directors, a regionally supported common fund. We rotate our more general meetings between Asian, the Americas and Europe. It is equally important that we carry out coherent regional technical programmes, and regional technical meetings are an important step in that direction.
