Quantum diaries is a blog published by Interactions collaboration, the collaboration of communication specialists in particle physics across all borders. Originally operated from 2005 to 2016, scientists from particle physics institutions around the world shared their research, views and lives. To mark the decade since the announcement of the Higgs discovery, the Interactions collaboration is […]
10th anniversary of Higgs discovery!
Posted July 2012, written by Barry Barish, Jonathan Bagger, and Sakue Yamada
4 July 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of one of the most celebrated scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century – the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. ILC NewsLine presents our 10th anniversary of the Higgs discovery with our Higgs boson stories written 10 years ago. The Higgs and the ILC […]
Lyn Evans in conversation with Peter Higgs
The discovery of the Higgs was announced exactly ten years ago and we’re very proud to present some exclusive content to you: two giants of the Higgs particle discovery in conversation about initially refused papers, why Peter Higgs ended up in theoretical physics rather than in engineering, and more. Lyn Evans, former Director of the […]
From KEK: Next step toward the ILC realization: MEXT expert panel publishes recommendations
Issued originally on 25 February KEK has been working on the realization of the International Linear Collider (ILC) in Japan, together with ILC-Japan, a community organization under the Japan Association of High Energy Physicists (JAHEP), the ILC International Development Team (IDT) established by the International Committee for Future Accelerator (ICFA), and other supporting organizations around […]
ILC and you
Don’t ask what the ILC can do for you… because you know already that it’s set to deliver collisions that might hold the answer to some of the most pressing questions in particle physics. However, there are things you can do that might help the project on the way. Watch the recording of the communication […]
From CNRS: Joint French-Japanese laboratory in Tokyo for physics at the largest and smallest scales
* The CNRS and the University of Tokyo have set up a laboratory for physics research at the largest and smallest scales of the Universe. * ILANCE is the CNRS’s seventh International Research Laboratory in Japan. From neutrinos to dark matter, and from particle accelerators to gravitational wave detectors and the first light of the […]
IDT Website open
The official ILC International Development Team website is now open. This website provides information regarding development of the IC project, international conference, outreach events, and the latest news. We are planning to provide additional contents about the ILC project, so stay informed by subscribing the ILC NewsLine. Click the here to view the website.
Perspective: Early-career scientists weigh in on the ILC project
The International Linear Collider will be run by people who are now at university or in their first jobs. For the early-career physicists who will be mid-career in 2035, the ILC may be the only new energy frontier accelerator in which they will be able to take a leadership role. If they wish to have […]
US government views of the ILC at Americas Workshop on Linear Colliders
An important element of the AWLC2020 programme was the three talks by three US government representatives, Director Chris Fall (U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science), Saul Gonzalez (National Science Foundation) and Reece Smyth (U.S. Department of State). Each expressed the interest of their offices in collaboration with Japan on the ILC and delivered important […]
ICFA Press Release: ICFA appoints members for the ILC International Development Team
The international effort to realise the next major particle collider, the International Linear Collider (ILC), has a new team to lead the project. Today the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced the structure and the team members of the ILC International Development Team (ILC-IDT). On 2 August, ICFA approved the formation of the ILC-IDT […]
