What will the future of particle physics in the US look like? That’s the question the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) tried to answer in its report that was released in December after a long process of meetings, deliberations and editing. The ILC community is very familiar with the chair of this panel: Hitoshi Murayama, the former Research Director and chair of Physics and Detectors in the ILC International Development Team. NewsLine interviewed him about what the report meant for the ILC.

Over 200 scientists and engineers got together at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 15 to 19 May to attend LCWS 2023. They had been communicating through computer screens for the past three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This event was a great opportunity for them to finally reunite in person. What a wonderful chance to catch up and learn from each other.
