New moves for the physics and detector activity
IDAG chair Michael Davier during his concluding talk. |
A joint international linear collider workshop, LCWS10 and ILC10, held in Beijing last month, initiated various new moves for the physics and detector activity of ILC. While we often make phone-conferences, such a meeting is valuable so that everybody can get together easily to talk. The programme was rather heavily packed and some people had to run from one meeting to another. Nevertheless the meeting allowed many useful discussions. We could clarify several issues and agree how to proceed.

from China at the Linear Collider Workshop 2010.
“I feel so lucky to become an ILC communicator and to work with the other communicators,” said Min Zhang. Zhang, based at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science (IHEP), will be sharing the Asian communication duties with Rika Takahashi (KEK) and will closely collaborate with her European colleagues, Perrine Royole-Degieux (CNRS/IN2P3) and Barbara Warmbein (DESY).

How science became cool
The incredible ambition of the Large Hadron Collider has fired our imagination; physicists have become cult TV stars; dramatic new pictures from space grace a million computer screensavers. Is this a golden age of science?

Coming up: the fifth International Accelerator School on Linear Colliders
Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, the site of the 5th International School on Linear Colliders |
One of the primary missions of the ILC Global Design Effort is to help in the training of the next generation of accelerator physicists. To achieve that end, we have been a sponsor and we supplied many of the lecturers at a series of schools that began four years ago. The last one was in China in September 2009. Today, I am pleased to announce that the fifth school will be held at Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, from 25 October to 5 November 2010 and is being organised by the ILC GDE, the Compact Linear Compact Linear Collider Study (CLIC) and the International Committee for Future Accelerators Beam Dynamics Panel. This year's school will focus on subjects in accelerator physics related to TeV-scale linear colliders, including the ILC, CLIC and the muon collider.
