Goodbye ILC NewsLine, hello LC NewsLine!
Dear readers, This is the last issue of ILC NewsLine. We have enjoyed bringing you news from the technical, political and human developments of the big science adventure that is the International Linear Collider for the last (nearly) eight years. We hope you enjoyed reading about it all. However, there is no need to cancel […]
2013 European School of High-Energy Physics
The 2013 European School of High-Energy Physics will be held in Hungary from 5 to 18 June. Details can be found here. The deadline for applications is 15 February 2013. The lectures will cover a broad range of high-energy physics topics at a level suitable for students working for a PhD in experimental particle physics. One […]
Register now for ECFA-LC 2013 in Hamburg
The next ECFA Linear Collider Workshop ECFA-LC2013 will be held at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, from 27 to 31 May. This is the first topical workshop after the formation of the Linear Collider Collaboration (LCC). It is dedicated to the physics potential of future high energy electron-positron colliders, especially in view of the recent results […]
DEPFET active pixel detectors for the linear collider
Marcel Vos reports on behalf of the collaboration
Solid-state devices for charged particle tracking proved their value in high energy physics in the most internal layers of the experiments of the Large Electron Positron Collider LEP at CERN, where they provided precise information on the production vertex of charged particles. These silicon micro-strip detectors consisted of a thin reverse-biased pn-junction segmented in narrow […]
Become a signatory of the Detailed Baseline Design report
Dear Colleagues, We invite you to sign the Detailed Baseline Design (DBD) report of the ILC detectors, which now exists as a nearly final draft. It summarises the R&D achievements of the ILC Letter-of-Intent period. The contents reflect the many contributions of very many collaborators. The draft is now open to the community under this address. […]
The year of the snake
2013 is the year of the snake – according to Chinese wisdom, it will be a year of steady progress and attention to detail. This prognosis is something the ILC design team can certainly sign off on: attention to detail is intrinsic to the ILC’S precise collisions, state-of-the-art detectors and challenging machine. And steady progress is […]
Members of new Linear Collider Board announced
Pier Oddone, the Chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced yesterday the membership of the new Linear Collider Board (LCB), which as a sub-panel of ICFA will promote and oversee the development of a linear collider and its detectors as a world-wide collaborative project. The recently appointed Linear Collider Director, Lyn Evans, […]
