From CERN: CMS observes a potentially new and interesting effect
Image of a 7 TeV proton-proton collision in CMS producing more than 100 charged particles. |
After almost six months of operation, experiments at the LHC are starting to see signs of potentially new and interesting effects. In results announced by the CMS collaboration today, correlations have been observed between particles produced in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions.
In some of the LHC's proton-proton collisions, a hundred or more particles can be produced. The CMS collaboration has studied such collisions by measuring angular correlations between the particles as they fly away from the point of impact, and this has revealed that some of the particles are intimately linked in a way not seen before in proton collisions.

From Fermilab: Fermilab constructs pioneering accelerator test facility
The construction includes three interconnected structures, which will house the test accelerator, a test area for cryomodules and the equipment for a powerful new refrigerator. |
Batavia, Ill.—Officials at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today that the laboratory has started phase II of the construction of a pioneering facility to advance a technology that will be critical to the next generation of particle accelerators.
The new facility, which will occupy three buildings and host a 460-foot-long test accelerator, will be the first of its kind in the United States.

Beyond the Technical Design Report
The ILC design and R&D schedule and key milestones through 2012 |
The main focus of the efforts of the ILC Global Design Effort (GDE) are to carry out the critical R&D programme needed for a successful ILC and to build on the ILC Reference Design by creating a Technical Design Report (TDR) that can be used as the basis of funding proposals to collaborating governments. The actual baseline configuration for the TDR is being decided over the coming months and we are on track to complete and document the technical design by the end of 2012. At that time, we will produce both a Technical Design Report and a Project Implementation Plan. What will happen then?
