From Fermilab Today : Fermilab's superconducting cavity program moves forward
Third harmonic accelerating module team members Tug Arkan, Chuck Grimm and Jeff Wittenkeller stand in front of the completed, packed and ready to ship 3.9 GHz cryomodule. |
Superconducting cavity development at Fermilab recently reached a major milestone.
Fermilab scientists and engineers shipped their first successfully completed and tested 3.9 GHz superconducting module to DESY on Friday, April 24.

Antimatter at the ILC
Lecture Nights around the world will reveal the science behind "Angels & Demons". TM & © 2009 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All rights reserved. |
Antimatter is likely to matter quite a lot in the next weeks. Hollywood has made its movie version of Dan Brown’s thriller Angels and Demons, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, and the film will hit cinemas around the world starting on 13 May. If you know the book you’ll know what ILC NewsLine has to do with it: it’s all about antimatter!

Chu Pegs ILC Cost at $25 Billion
The International Linear Collider (ILC), a proposed 40-kilometer-long particle smasher, would cost a lot. But how much? U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu and the leader of the project don’t agree.

Garbincius joins GDE Executive Committee
Peter Garbincius, Fermilab, newly appointed to the GDE Executive Committee |
The organisation of the Global Design Effort – the ILC’s management team – is more than a little unconventional. As Director, my boss is actually not a person, but rather two committees. Much of the work I “direct” is actually carried out as part of various laboratory programmes and is not actually under my direction. Nevertheless, the unconventional GDE organisation has been effective at producing a well-regarded reference design and now is well underway towards refining and optimising that design through a four-year programme to develop an ILC technical design. The heart of the GDE organisation and central ‘engine’ is an Executive Committee (EC) that works very closely with me on carrying out all important policy, organisational and operational matters. Today, I am pleased to announce that Peter Garbincius of Fermilab has joined the EC.
