The role of industries during the ILC engineering design phase

| 19 April 2007 To strengthen our efforts for the ILC engineering design phase, we intend to increase our focus on industrialisation. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , , ,

Organising the GDE for the ILC engineering design phase

| 12 April 2007 The next big milestone for the GDE is to develop an engineering design and document it in an Engineering Design Report (EDR). Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: ,

GDE to sponsor Second International School for Linear Colliders

| 5 April 2007 I am pleased to announce that the second accelerator school dedicated to linear colliders will be held from 1-10 October 2007 at Ettore Majorana Center, Erice (Sicily), Italy under the sponsorship of the ILC GDE, ILCSC and ICFA Beam Dynamics Panel.

| 29 March 2007 We are in the process of building an integrated set of ILC project tools for communication, data archiving, engineering, costing, scheduling and project management. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , ,

ILC Baseline Alternative: The Re-entrant Cavity

| 22 March 2007 ILC R&D on superconducting RF technology is of special importance because it represents our central technology, and it is an area where we are forging the way for future accelerators that will employ this forward-looking technology.

Whats in a Schedule

| 8 March 2007 Just before I presented at HEPAP, Dr. Raymond Orbach, Under Secretary for Science at the DOE, gave a presentation where he hypothesised a timescale for completion of the ILC of "the mid-2020s, if not later." Today I discuss the meaning and significance of that statement, as well as give my own views of what will determine the schedule of the ILC. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , ,

ILC Baseline Alternative: The Marx Modulator

| 1 March 2007 The release of the ILC Reference Design was a very important milestone. Yet, we have emphasised that it is really a snapshot of the ILC design. -- By Barry Barish & Ray Larsen Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , , , ,

The Road to the ILC: Convincing our Colleagues

| 22 February 2007 Now that we have released our draft Reference Design Report for the ILC, our short-term focus is on completing and finalising the RDR. This will involve completing some unfinished work, undergoing international reviews and then revising and finalising the reference design and costing. Category: Director's Corner | Tagged: , ,

The International Linear Collider: Gateway to the Quantum Universe

| 15 February 2007 In addition to the technical reports released last week in Beijing that describe the reference design for the ILC, we also published in draft form a very attractive and informative companion document... Category: Director's Corner | Tagged:
