The recently released recommendations of the European Strategy Group discuss Linear Colliders as technologically mature flagship projects which offer a competitive science program in Higgs and Top physics, while not ranking alternative projects beyond the FCC-ee. The next steps for Linear Colliders will be discussed at the LinearCollider@CERN Workshop in early January. by Jenny List, Tatsuya Nakada […]
Shaping the future at the Linear Collider Vision Community Event
From January 8 to 10, about 200 particle and accelerator physicists met at CERN and on zoom for the LC Vision Community Event. The meeting started with a session organised by Early Career Scientists. It moved on to discussion physics case, luminosity and staging scenarios, advanced acceleration technologies, future perspectives on detectors and the implementation of a […]
Introducing a Global Linear Collider Vision
Jenny List presenting a global vision for a Linear Collider at LCWS 2024, held at the University of Tokyo on July 8 For well over 20 years, there have been two major linear collider proposals: the International Linear Collider (ILC), based on klystron-driven superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) cavities, and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), based on normal-conducting cavities powered […]
The IDT’s Physics and Detector Working Group after Snowmass
A Director's Corner by Jenny List, new chair of the working group
Recently, Hitoshi Murayama has been appointed as chair of the next Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel in the US, and therefore stepped down from his role as chair of the Physics and Detector Working Group of the International Development Team, also known as IDT-WG3. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Hitoshi for […]
