Detector activities reviewed by the PAC
The Project Advisory Committee also reviews the detector concepts. Image: Norman Graf. |
On 9 and 10 May, the second review meeting of the Project Advisory Committee (PAC) of the ILC was held in Vancouver. Its first meeting was last year in October when we were about to complete the entire framework of the detector activity. At that time PAC endorsed the designed management structure and the way we intended to proceed, which gave us confidence to start most of the common task groups during the LCWS08 meeting in Chicago in November.

UC Davis spearheads interconnect technology development for SiD detector

Nearly every one of the myriad complex components of the International Linear Collider pushes the limits of today's technology, and for the ILC to succeed, each one of them has to work as designed. Researchers at the University of California, Davis (US) are concentrating on the interconnects – the connections between arrays of electronic circuit elements – in the ILC's proposed Silicon Detector Design Study (SiD) concept detector. The group is applying new technologies and advanced materials to improve the performance, efficiency, ease of assembly and robustness of these critical detector components.

Stanford scientists discover a possible successor to silicon
... However, the material — shiny, reflective and black, grown in special campus furnaces — can only carry small currents so it is not yet applicable.But it could pave the way for a paradigm shift in microchip development.

A step at a time
A group photo of the CERN management, ILC Executive Committee and CLIC Steering Committee |
Last week we held the first ever joint meeting of the GDE Executive Committee and the CLIC Extended Steering Committee. This meeting at CERN represented another step in bringing the CLIC and ILC efforts closer together. CERN's Director General Rolf Heuer, the CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci and the Secretary of the CERN Council Strategy Group, Steiner Stapnes, attended part of the meeting and expressed their support. The meeting itself was constructive and productive in that we agreed on several important new initiatives, including plans to combine future workshops and to begin discussions on developing and articulating a joint strategy towards a linear collider.
