A 1.3-Gigahertz low-loss type large-grain nine-cell superconducting cavity called IHEP-01 produced at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, China, achieved an accelerating gradient of 20 Megavolts per metre in its first vertical test at KEK on 1 July. This may not be the design gradient yet, but it marks an important progress on the research and development of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology in China.

The ILC at a glance
Fly through the International Linear Collider and find out how it works with "The ILC in 1 minute" Image: ILC/Rey.Hori |
What will the ILC look like? How big is its linear accelerator? How do you describe a
collision? If sometimes giving talks you are lost for words, we hope the pictures from our new animation "The ILC in one minute" will help you explain and schematise the ILC operation.

ICHEP starts today
One of the major conferences in high-energy physics starts today in Paris. ILC sessions are on Saturday, but the rest of the conference promises to be exciting, too! For more info check the conference website for the agenda or the live blogs.
A live webcast of "salle Maillot" parallel sessions (from 22 to 24 July) and of plenary sessions (from 26 to 28) is available.

Bigger, better Hadron Collider planned
WRS's Pete Forster caught up with professor Brian Foster, European director of the project, and asked him what the ILC would do that the LHC doesn't.

The biggest bang
The International Linear Collider is an ambitious project to build a 31km-long atom smasher in a straight line.This kind of machine is very different from the LHC, which is a giant circle.

Forget the Large Hadron Collider. All hail Cern's new, straight-line atom smasher
"Part of the report to the Paris conference will be "a blueprint for how you would set up an ILC lab". More than 700 people at 300 laboratories and universities around the world are already working on the accelerator."

The long road to high-intensity LHC collisions
It's getting more intense under France and Switzerland. Over the last few months the Large Hadron Collider has been quietly increasing the power of its two counter-rotating beams of protons, and serving up more and more particle collisions to the experiments dotted around the 27-kilometer ring.

An animated ILC
Click to watch the new ILC animation. |
The old adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words" nicely captures the concept that a complicated story can often more easily be described by a picture than some wordy text. Perhaps in these modern times, we could be improve this saying by saying, “an animation is worth more than a thousand pictures.” For communicating the International Linear Collider, we have created and use a variety of visual pictures of the ILC, however until now, we have never ventured into using computer animation for our communication needs. Today, we release our first ILC animation, which has been created by Mamoru Horiuchi (aka Rey.Hori) from Japan.
