Dear readers, It’s been a while since you’ve received the last issue of NewsLine. With the recent changes in organisation of the linear collider planning effort as well as in the community, we’re back with a slightly new look and the goal to keep you updated regularly on the latest developments regarding the International Linear […]
Successful visit to Europe: one big step for ILC realisation
“In short, it was a big success,” said Satoru Yamashita, project professor at the University of Tokyo, who was a member of a Japanese delegation that visited France and Germany in early January this year. The Japanese delegation consisted of 18 persons – Diet members, government officials, industry leaders, and scientists – and toured two […]
Asia-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics
The third Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics, AEPSHEP2016, to be held near Beijing, China, 12-25 October 2016, is open for applications. The deadline is 25 March 2016. AEPSHEP is held every second year, hosted in countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The first two Schools in the series were held in Fukuoka, Japan, in 2012 and […]
Special issue: Celebrating ten years since Snowmass (and ten years of NewsLine)
Ten years ago, scientists from all over the world gathered in the picturesque town of Snowmass in the US to constitute a new global collaboration for a future particle collider called the International Linear Collider. People who had worked on several different concepts for a linear collider reshuffled to work together on the ILC and […]
Special issue: The ILC guide to Kitakami 3
Japan might seem difficult to understand at times. There are unwritten rules and a societal order that can trip up foreigners and make communication awkward. But if the ILC comes to Japan, many people will move there from all around the world. So what is really happening there at the moment? What’s it like being […]
Special LC NewsLine issue: The US strategy

Download the […]
Special issue: The ILC guide to Kitakami 2
How do foreigners get around in Japan and where will they settle when (if) the ILC is being built and operated? In this visit to Kitakami-part 2, you will be introduce to the coolness of the ILC Kitakami candidate site (don’t miss the videos inside!). For an introduction and a glossary, don’t miss the first […]
Special issue: The ILC guide to Kitakami
How do foreigners get around in Japan? What are the problems they encounter and what are the experiences that they make? And what can be done to make lives easier for scientists from around the world who come to settle in Japan when (if) the ILC is being built and operated? The European LC communicators […]
Editors’ note (special banner)
After 4 July 2012, 8 October 2013 was another important date in the life of particle physicists when the work of François Englert and Peter Higgs was recognised with the 2013 Physics Nobel Prize. At the same moment, the thousands of LHC particle physicists felt also rewarded for their hard work in finding the Higgs […]
