On 19 November, Shoji Asai, Spokesperson for ILC-Japan,together with Shunki Sugai, a popular Japanese science communicator on YouTube, presented a lecture and workshop for young science enthusiasts at “the Science Agora,” Japan’s one of the biggest science festival held in Tokyo. A group of 24 participants, ranging in age from 10 to university seniors, attended […]
Lyn Evans in conversation with Peter Higgs
The discovery of the Higgs was announced exactly ten years ago and we’re very proud to present some exclusive content to you: two giants of the Higgs particle discovery in conversation about initially refused papers, why Peter Higgs ended up in theoretical physics rather than in engineering, and more. Lyn Evans, former Director of the […]
ILC and you
Don’t ask what the ILC can do for you… because you know already that it’s set to deliver collisions that might hold the answer to some of the most pressing questions in particle physics. However, there are things you can do that might help the project on the way. Watch the recording of the communication […]
US government views of the ILC at Americas Workshop on Linear Colliders
An important element of the AWLC2020 programme was the three talks by three US government representatives, Director Chris Fall (U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science), Saul Gonzalez (National Science Foundation) and Reece Smyth (U.S. Department of State). Each expressed the interest of their offices in collaboration with Japan on the ILC and delivered important […]
Fermilab Colloquium on the status of the ILC
ICFA briefing on future prospects of the ILC: the video
On 7 March, the chairs of the Linear Collider Board and the International Committee for Future Accelerators, Tatsuya Nakada and Geoffrey Taylor, as well as KEK DG Masanori Yamauchi, met national Japanese and international media for a press briefing on Japan’s view on the future of the ILC. Watch the recorded press briefing.
Endorsing the ILC “in the strongest way”
“We have our hands around the mechanism that creates mass in nature but we need the tools to study it.” Barry Barish adds his voice to the #mylinearcollider video campaign, endorses the ILC “in the strongest way.” Barish led the Global Design Effort for the ILC before he returned to LIGO and was awarded the Nobel […]
Let them collide!
ILC – The Point of Interaction (2016) from Rey.Hori on Vimeo. This animation, created by Rey.Hori, shows what happens when electrons and positrons collide in the ILD detector, one of the planned detectors for the future ILC. Many collisions will happen at the same time around the clock, producing a vast array of possible processes, […]
Construction completed: ILC in Roppongi
A total of 200 people, mostly students from art colleges, finished the construction of the ILC in Roppongi on 29 October. The ILC mockup that is. The ILC exhibition at Salone in Roppongi is now open until Sunday, 6 November. A 15-metre-long mock up of the ILC made by many hands in the traditional construction […]
New results on the search for gravitational waves – the video
You cannot possibly have missed that gravitational waves have recently been discovered by the LIGO-VIRGO scientific collaborations. But in case you missed the talk at CERN explaining it, you can watch it here. See also “A dream comes true” from the last issue of LC NewsLine, a personal view of the discovery by Barry Barish.
