Rika Takahashi | 8 July 2024With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Professor Sachio Komamiya, a prominent figure in the Japanese and international ILC community.
Rika Takahashi | 8 July 2024On May 21st, KEK’s video “Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe: International Linear Collider” (Entry title: High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) International Linear Collider) won a Silver Award in the “Non-Broadcast – Science & Technology” category at the 45th Telly Awards, a prestigious honor in the television and video broadcasting industry.
Rika Takahashi | 22 February 2024What 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.

Rika Takahashi | 26 June 2023Over 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.

18 May 2023Have you seen the latest video from ILC? It features interviews with Jenny List, Working Group Leader in the IDT, SLAC theorist Michael Peskin, and other experts discussing the exciting physics breakthroughs that the ILC could deliver. They also highlight the project's global collaboration, the various educational opportunities for students, and the focus on sustainability.

Barbara Warmbein | 17 November 2022One thing is pretty certain: the next big machine in particle physics is most likely going to be an electron-positron “Higgs factory” collider. What is not so certain is which of the different collider options currently being considered will be realised. The ILD collaboration, creator of one of the two detector concepts for the International Linear Collider (ILC), is now checking how ILD would perform at different colliders than ILC, and is deepening collaborations with these collider concepts. ILD released its strategy in September.

4 July 2022Daniel Jeans, a particle physicist based at KEK and active blogger, looks back on what it was like witnessing the discovery as a young researcher.
Barbara Warmbein | 8 February 2022There are thought exercises that end in the head or on paper and there are those that lead to change. A group of scientists working on the SiD detector, one of the two particle detectors proposed for the International Linear Collider ILC, have just turned one of those exercises into a major technological overhaul for their detector. Here’s an overview of what will be different if the green light to build the ILC comes.
Barbara Warmbein | 26 November 2021Hitoshi Murayama likes crazy ideas. Especially when they are exactly the right amount of crazy to just possibly be turned into a reality. He asked the wider community to present exactly those kinds of ideas for the recent ILCX meeting – here’s an overview of what was discussed.
