Physicists discovered one type of Higgs boson in 2012. Now they’re looking for more.
When physicists discovered the Higgs boson in 2012, they declared the Standard Model of particle physics complete; they had finally found the missing piece of the particle puzzle. And yet, many questions remain about the basic components of the universe, including: Did we find the one and only type of Higgs boson? Or are there […]
German national laboratory Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) welcomed three Japanese visitors on 30 June, 2015, who asked to be introduced to DESY – its campus and organizational structure as an example of a research institute. The group is studying the size and needs of a possible International Linear Collider (ILC) campus in Tohoku. Tokiko Onuki, […]
Change Management as a new tool for the ILC project to move forward
After the release of the Technical Design Report (TDR) in June 2013, the ILC project entered a new phase, in which the community awaits a (hopefully positive) decision for the project in Japan. As soon as the preferred location was announced, work began to adapt the accelerator to the building site in the Kitakami area. […]
Right after the Asian Linear Collider Workshop (ALCW) 2015 and ILC Tokyo Event, another big milestone for the ILC happened in the United States. From 26 to 30 April, three members of the Diet and members of Japan’s Federation of Diet Members for Promotion of the ILC, Takeo Kawamura, Ryu Shionoya and Shun-ichi Suzuki visited […]
At the ILC Tokyo Symposium, held on 22 April 2015 at the Ito International Hall, Tokyo, Japan, the Linear Collider Collaboration (LCC) and the more than 300 participants from around the world at the Asian Linear Collider Workshop (ALCW) 2015 decided to issue a statement confirming their conviction of the scientific justification for a prompt […]
On 22 April, the middle day of the Asian Linear Collider Workshop 2015 to be held at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, special events toward the realisation of the ILC, “ILC Tokyo Event” will be held. Many attendes have already signed-ups, and the organisers expect to have the honour of welcoming guests from embassies, government and bureaucracy. […]
The LHC’s so-called Run 2 kicks off when first beam circulate in the 27-kilometre tunnel. After a period of getting to know the consolidated and improved LHC, the machine operators think they can deliver first collisions at 13 TeV to the LHC’s experiments in late May or early June. This is a 60% increase in […]
There’s a piece of linear collider detector technology that is getting ready to take real collision data. The linear collider may be at planning stage, but right in the middle of the CMS detector, a luminometer based on work done for the forward region of the ILC’s ILD detector is very much a working piece […]
International conferences and workshops related to the linear collider are traditionally held twice a year: one global meeting, and another regional one. Next April, a new style of Asian regional linear collider workshop will be held in Tsukuba and Tokyo, Japan. The Asian Linear Collider Workshop 2015 (ALCW2015) will take place from 20 to 24 […]
