Collaboration towards the realisation of the ILC
The AAA symposium promoted cooperation between government, industry and academia. |
On 26 February, in the middle of an important Diet discussion (equivalent to members of congress in Japan) on the supplemental bill, the Advanced Accelerator Association Promoting Science and Technology (AAA) held a symposium entitled “Departing from Japan to Universe - Toward the realisation of International Linear Collider (ILC)” in Akasaka, central region of Tokyo with over 150 participants from industry, academia and the political community. AAA, established in June 2008 with a total of about 100 companies, universities and laboratories, has discussed issues on R&D, intellectual property rights and other related areas concerning the ILC as a model project. The primary aim of this symposium was to review AAA’s activities for fiscal year 2008 and to gain a better understanding of the advanced accelerator – the significance of promoting the R&D and the expected impact to the society.

CALICE meeting in Korea
CALICE Scintillator-based ECAL test module at Fermilab |
This is the second report on the two detector meetings held in Korea in February, ILD and CALICE, this time focusing on the CALICE (Calorimeter for the linear collider experiment) collaboration spring meeting at Kyungpook National University in Daegu on 19 and 20 February. CALICE, launched in 2002, meets twice a year to discuss the R&D issues of calorimetry technologies and the large-scale test beam experiments, specifically in the recent meetings to prepare for the world’s first test on a digital hadron calorimeter.

Progress on Fermilab's cryomodule for FLASH
This photo of the 3.9 GHz cryomodule was taken on Thursday last week after the cold mass assembly including the four-cavity string was inserted into the vacuum vessel. Before the cold mass went into the vessel the Fermilab team gathered round for a group photo. The module is due to arrive at DESY's Hall 3 in approximately one month. (Photos: Fermilab)

Renewing links with superconducting cavity manufacturers
Today's issue features a Director's Corner from Marc Ross, Project Manager for the Global Design Effort.
A picture taken with the optical cavity inspection tool. Defects are clearly visible. |
The most important performance parameter for a linear accelerator is its cost per electronvolt of accelerated beam, or cost per watt of delivered beam power. In the early 1990s, a core group of experts from labs in each today’s ILC regions Americas, Asia and Europe, concluded that the so-called 'cold technology', based on superconducting radiofrequency (rf), could effectively compete with traditional 'warm technology' for the next energy frontier machine, the linear collider. They then set about to prove the cold technology was a cost-effective alternative through the TESLA collaboration and through partnerships with cavity manufacturing companies. This guest Director's Corner is about our effort to open new relationships and partnerships with these companies, worldwide.
