Your chance to influence the Project Design Guidance
Jonathan Bagger invites the ILC community to comment on white paper
A conceptual supporting model of a multinational-laboratory |
At the end of 2012, the Global Design Effort (GDE) will release its Technical Design Report. At the same time, the Research Directorate (RD) and the ILC community will produce detailed baseline designs for two detectors.
What then?
This is the question being addressed by the International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC), the body charged by the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) with overseeing the design of the ILC and its detectors.

Georges Charpak: a revolution in particle detection
Georges Charpak invents the multi-wire proportional chamber in 1968. Image CERN |
It's hard to imagine a particle physics experiment that wouldn't use one of his concepts. Georges Charpak, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, passed away last week. Particle physicists owe him a lot, and so does the general public, since his inventions yield applications in many other fields that use ionising radiation such as biology, radiology and nuclear medicine.
Georges Charpak, CNRS then CERN experimental physicist, revolutionised particle detection in 1968 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1992 "for his invention and development of particle detectors, in particular the multiwire proportional chamber."

Novosibirsk
Pief Panofsky with Gersh Budker at the Institution of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk. |
I had the interesting experience recently of spending four days at a meeting in Novosibirsk, Russia. I was an invited speaker at the 13th CERN-ISTC SAC seminar entitled "New Perspectives of High Energy Physics." The seminar was held at the Budker Institute for Nuclear Physics (BINP), a famous laboratory credited with many of the innovations in modern particle accelerators. I will write separately about the ISTC (International Science and Technology Center) seminar. This week I focus on our venue, and its history and impressive contributions to particle accelerators. Those of us who have worked on or done research using particle accelerators are well aware of the various schemes invented and developed in Novosibirsk.
