The International Conferences on Calorimetry in High Energy Physics (also known as the Calor Conference series, started in October 1990 at Fermilab) address all aspects of calorimetric particle detection and measurement, with emphasis on high-energy physics experiments. This year, the conference of Calor 2010, the fourteenth in this series, was held in the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Beijing, China from 10 to 14 May 2010.

Exchanging opinions about the ILC
GDE Project manager Akira Yamamoto chairs the industrial session |
One day before the beginning of the biggest ever – and first international – Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC 2010, a satellite meeting was held with scientists and specialists from laboratories and industries around the world on the superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF) cavity technology and industrialisation.

The world's first IPAC
Hundreds of accelerator experts are taking part in the world's first International Particle Accelerator Conference IPAC, a merger of all regional accelerator conferences. Here's a snapshot of accelerator scientists from one of the coffee breaks. Go to the conference website for more information or check out this article in symmetry breaking.

Baseline Assessment Workshops
Top level change control process for assessing baseline changes for the TDR |
Over the past months we have developed a process for assessing the major changes to the ILC baseline that were proposed last year. The motivation for the proposed changes is to evolve the ILC design to better optimise cost to performance to risk, with special emphasis on cost savings that will help insure that we keep control over the cost. All this will lead to the Technical Design Report (TDR) at the end of 2012. The centrepiece of the assessment process will be 2 four-day Baseline Assessment Workshops (BAW). The first BAW will be held at KEK from 7-10 September 2010, and the second at SLAC from 18-21 January 2011. I am very much encouraging active participation from the detector community and by some of our advisory committee members both in the preparations leading up to these workshops and at the workshops, themselves.

Last days for registration to ICHEP2010
You have till 20 June to register to the 35th ICHEP conference held from 22 to 28 July 2010 in Paris, France. This very special international conference will cover first LHC physics results. Results in other domains such as gravitational waves, neutrino telescopes, neutrino oscillations, dark matter or in the flavour sector, just to name a few, will also be revealed. Several major projects representing the future of our field (like the ILC or CLIC) will present the status of their Conceptual or Engineering Design Reports during the conference. Don't miss the registration deadline!
