Quantum diaries is a blog published by Interactions collaboration, the collaboration of communication specialists in particle physics across all borders. Originally operated from 2005 to 2016, scientists from particle physics institutions around the world shared their research, views and lives. To mark the decade since the announcement of the Higgs discovery, the Interactions collaboration is […]
IUPAP Statement on the events occurring in Ukraine
Through ICFA, the ILC International Development Team is connected to the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). We would like to share with you the following statement that the IUPAP Executive Council published on their web page concerning the current tragic war situation in Ukraine: “We are consternated by the news regarding the […]
SiD reinvents itself
New sensors, new hardware, better timing for the proposed ILC detector
Detectors for planned particle colliders don’t just appear. They are the product of a long process involving many specialists from many areas and institutes who propose, discuss, select and review the most optimised technologies for the complicated tasks they expect the detector to do. There are many milestones along the way, including the initial “letter […]
KEK fundraising campaign
2022 ILC calendar for your donation KEK is fundraising to gain understanding and support from the public to realise the ILC in Japan. Please give your warm support! All support will be used for communication activities. For the supporters who donate JPY2,000 and more will receive original calendar for return. You can make a difference! See […]
Thinking outside the tunnel
Lots of new ideas for physics at the ILC discussed during ILCX If you think that the International Linear Collider (ILC) is going to be a one-trick pony for studying the Higgs boson, think again. In fact, think research for self-driving cars, think dark matter with axions or dark photons, customs X-rays in a tunnel, […]
Invitation to join the SiD Consortium for the ILC
The SiD Detector is one of two major detector designs for the future International Linear Collider (ILC). SID features a compact, cost-constrained design for precision Higgs, top and other measurements, and sensitivity to a wide range of possible new phenomena. Since SiD has been validated by the International Detector Advisory Group there have been significant […]
ILCX: hybrid or fully online
Poster for the ILCX 2021 workshop. We have been planning for the coming ILCX 2021 workshop from 26 to 29 October 2021. We have a preliminary graphics for the poster and Local Organising Committee is working hard to understand logistics. Last week, Local Organising Committee and IDT Executive Board made the decision to hold the […]
Ready to take the next step
3D simulation image of ILD detector Image: Akiya Miyamoto Things are busy at the ILD detector concept at the ILC. ILD stands for “International Large Detector”, and this is one of two current detector concept groups at the ILC. The ILD team has just published its interim design report (IDR) in which the current state […]
ILCX 2021: Let’s discuss about possible experimental opportunities at the ILC
The ILC International Development Team (IDT) will hold the ILC Workshop on Potential ILC Experiments (ILCX) , from 26 – 29 October, 2021. With the growing anticipation that the preparatory laboratory (Pre-lab) will be launched in the near future, we would like to initiate serious discussions about all the possible experimental opportunities at the ILC laboratory. […]
Call for participation in Physics & Detector WG3
The IDT Working Group on Physics & Detector activities (WG3) would like to invite the community to engage in the ILC studies. WG3 aims to raise awareness and interest in the ILC development and expand the community, support newcomers to get involved in physics and detector studies, encourage new ideas for experimentations at the ILC.
