Forum on Advanced Accelerator Science & Industry: Creation of Global Project Cities On Wednesday, 24 October, the Japan Policy Council and the AAA are organising a forum on advanced accelerator science and industry. The forum aims at clarifying the challenges for enabling Japan to realise a global project that Japan never worked for and Japan’s advantages […]
Accelerating news
The third issue of the newsletter Accelerating News brings summaries of project plans, new ideas and progress on EU-funded projects. From the editors: This summer saw CERN announce to a worldwide audience the discovery of a Higgs-like boson, so this issue takes a look at the machine behind the discovery, the LHC, as well as […]
LCWS12 online registration deadline
LCWS12 online registration deadline The deadline for online registration for the conference is Wednesday, 17 October. Please make sure that you make your online registration at lcws12.org by this date.
Getting it all straight
Linear collider detector experts get it straight – a vision of the XFEL tunnel that is. CLIC detector engineers from CERN visited DESY last week to discuss detector challenges such as earthquake stability, alignment, assembly planning and the construction of the detector’s magnet yoke with their colleagues from the ILC’s ILD detector. They also visited […]
Chancellor Merkel’s first cavity
Chancellor Angela Merkel visited DESY on 19 September for a hall baptism: the experimental hall of DESY’s light source PETRA III is now officially named Max von Laue, after the discoverer of diffraction of X-rays. DESY DG Helmut Dosch presents the German chancellor (who was a physicist before she became a politician) with a miniature […]
Calling all LCWS12 participants
Calling all LCWS12 participants The international workshop on future linear colliders, LCWS12, is only four weeks away, and many of the hotels’ specially arranged conference rates are expiring. Please register for the conference and make your hotel reservations. We now have a draft scientific programme, and Steven Weinberg will give a public lecture titled “The […]
Korea-US Collaboration Center for Accelerator Science opens at Fermilab
Fermilab has a new collaboration centre: on 27 August, the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) of Korea’s Institute for Basic Science opened the Korea-US Collaboration Center for Accelerator Science (KUCC). Korea is planning to build in Korea by 2017 a rare-isotope accelerator, which will have SCRF technology […]
Linear collider event during IEEE symposium in Anaheim
The recent discovery of a particle at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson, provides a very clear target for near-future linear collider experiments. A next-generation linear collider (LC) is currently being designed as the next large-scale experimental facility in elementary particle physics beyond the LHC. It is intended to […]
