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 […]
Japan’s Vision for the Future of Particle Physics
Interview with Tsuyoshi Nakaya, Chairperson, Japan Association of High Energy Physics
Japan’s high-energy physics community is entering a crucial phase as it maps out its long-term vision. Researchers from across the country, working together through the Japan Association of High Energy Physicists (JAHEP), are discussing the next big steps for the field. JAHEP has set up a group to prepare a full report on future projects in […]
Implementing a linear collider facility at CERN
The previous iteration of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP) gave as its first recommendation: “An electron-positron Higgs factory is the highest-priority next collider.” This recommendation is, in our view, best addressed by constructing an e+e− Higgs factory that meets all of the physics goals of such a collider in a way that is […]
New ILC Artwork Release!
We’re excited to announce the release of four new images by artist Rey Hori. Each piece captures a unique vision, showcasing intricate detail and vibrant color. We invite the community to use these images in outreach and promotional efforts to help share the excitement and potential of the ILC with a wider audience. Usage Guidelines:For […]
A Tribute to Sachio Komamiya
Portrait of Sachio Komamiya taken in 2013 when he was appointed as LCB Chair With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Professor Sachio Komamiya, a prominent figure in the Japanese and international ILC community. He passed away on 5 June at the age of 71. Born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1952, Komamiya graduated from […]
KEK-produced Video “International Linear Collider” Wins Silver at the Telly Awards
P5 report supports Higgs factory including the ILC, says the chair
The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) is a panel established under High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) that advises the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of High Energy Physics and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics. On December 7th of last year, this panel released a report called “Exploring Quantum Universe […]
LCWS2023: Back to the “real” meeting
“LCWS 2023 at SLAC was a very enjoyable and productive meeting with more than 200 participants from all over the world discussing future linear Higgs factories,” said Caterina Vernieri, one of the organisers of Linear Collider Workshop 2023, held at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 15 to 19 May. Attendees at the International Workshop on Future […]
New ILC videos released
APS TV paid us a visit in early 2023 to get the latest news on the status of the ILC. This video was shown at the American Physics Society Meeting in March. Two types of videos were made this time: a longer one and a shorter one. Jenny List, Working Group Leader in the International […]
We need to talk: ILD checks performance at other Higgs factory proposals than ILC
New detector concept strategy identifies work programme for the near future
One 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 […]
