From ICFA: International committee looks toward a global future of particle physics discoveries
A global strategy for particle physics is taking shape, one world region at a time. Featuring colliders that smash particles at higher energies than ever before, and gigantic experiments to study the smallest components of matter, this future will lead to breakthrough discoveries at facilities around the globe. The International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), […]

Follow ICHEP remotely
“The portrait of the Brout-Englert-Higgs boson we have today is still a very rough sketch,” says Juan Fuster in the ICHEP newsletter published today. The 37th International Conference on High-Energy Phyiscs ICHEP started this week in Valencia, Spain. Follow what’s being discussed by checking the schedule or watch the webcast on Saturday 5 July.

Positron polarisation workshop: POSIPOL 2014, 27 – 29 August
POSIPOL 2014 will be held at the new library of Ichinoseki-city, Iwate. As the ninth of POSIPOL workshop series, POSIPOL 2014 will discuss issues of polarised positron sources, high intensity positron sources, X-ray/Gamma-ray sources, and their applications. The positron sources for the linear colliders, ILC and CLIC, will be main subjects, but positron sources for […]
From CERN: CERN announces LHC restart schedule
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world, has started to get ready for its second three-year run. Cool down of the vast machine has already begun in preparation for research to resume early in 2015 following a long technical stop to prepare the machine for running at […]
From Fermilab Today: Anna Grassellino receives $2.5 million DOE award for research on SRF cavities
Thanks to science, we get more for less. We get more features on a newer car model, more data and information stored on a computer, and all for the same or lowered cost. That same principle applies to accelerator R&D, where improving the performance and lowering the cost can help open doors to new ideas. […]
Next International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS): 6 to 10 October in Belgrade
The 2014 International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS14) will take place from 6 to 10 October in Belgrade, Serbia and will be hosted by the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences. The workshop will start Monday morning and run until Friday around 13:00. The registration will open soon. Additional satellite meetings will take place in connection to […]
Perspectives on superconducting RF and JLab Open House
A one-day workshop about “Perspectives on Superconducting RF” will be held Monday 19 May at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Newport News, VA, USA. The workshop is organised in celebration of the career of Peter Kneisel, who will be retiring soon from Jefferson Lab. This workshop will review the past, present and future status of SRF technology […]
From symmetry: Proposed plan for the future of US particle physics
Particle physics will become even more of an international endeavor in the coming decades, according to a panel charged with developing a strategic plan for the future of US particle physics, whose long-awaited recommendations were released today. According to the panel, top priorities for US particle physics include continuing to play a major role at […]
