This month’s Research Director’s Report was written by Hitoshi Yamamoto, co-chair of the Worldwide Study and regional detector contact for Asia
The joint ACFA Physics and Detector Workshop and GDE meeting on Linear Collider (KILC12) will be held in Daegu, Korea, from 23 to 27 April 2012. The timing of the workshop is likely to be just after the first combined result on the Higgs particle by two LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, is announced at […]
On 15 December, the International Linear Collider clearly became a hot topic in Japanese newspapers: Yoshihiko Noda, the Prime Minister of Japan, gave a speech at the ILC symposium held in Tokyo. This symposium was jointly hosted by the Advanced Accelerator Association promoting science and technology (AAA) and the Federation of Diet members to promote […]
Today's special issue features a Director's Corner from Kaoru Yokoya, Global Design Effort Asian Regional Director
On Thursday, 15 December, a symposium was held in Tokyo. This is only one event of a frequently held symposium series, but this time it drew much attention from Japanese media because Mr. Yoshihiko Noda, the Prime Minister of Japan, gave a speech there. This symposium was hosted by the Advanced Accelerator Association promoting science […]
Image: DESY A delegation from the prefectures Fukuoka and Saga on the Japanese island Kyushu visited two European labs, CERN and DESY, last week to learn about existing research infrastructures and the labs’ experiences with management, administration, local communication and a whole lot more. The region is one of two possible Japanese sites for the […]
Vietnam and Japan have been nurturing cooperative relationship in many fields for many years. For the field of science and technology, both governments signed the Japan-Vietnam Science and Technology Co-operation Agreement to promote and deepen the co-operation in science and technology in 2006. Following year, Shinzo Abe, then Prime minister of Japan, proposed at the […]
On 1-2 June, the review on the design study of the ILC conventional facility in mountain regions was held at KEK, Japan, and the final review report was submitted last week by the review panel lead by Vic Kuchler of Fermilab to Seiya Yamaguchi, head of KEK's Linear Collider Office and to Marc Ross, project […]
Jie Gao, professor at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, China, has been appointed by the Asian Committee for Future Accelerators (ACFA) to be the new chair of the Asian Linear Collider Steering Committee (ALCSC) for a term of three years. The appointment occurred during the First International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC’10. […]
The ILC community welcomed a new ILC communicator from China at the Linear Collider Workshop 2010. “I feel so lucky to become an ILC communicator and to work with the other communicators,” said Min Zhang. Zhang, based at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science (IHEP), will be sharing the […]
ASEPS summit in Tsukuba might change the research landscape
In a venue that many ILC people know very well from last year’s TILC meeting, the Epochal Conference Center in Tsukuba, Japan, another meeting is underway that may well change the course of physics research for scientists from Europe and Asia. The Asia Europe Physics Summit ASEPS covers all areas of physics research, from nanotechnology and energy […]
Even though the international collaboration in physics research has a long history, Europe-Asia cooperation remains quite weak, compared to the collaboration between Europe and Americas or Asia and Americas. To strengthen the cooperation in physics research between European and Asian countries, the first Asia-Europe Physics Summit, or ASEPS, will be held 24 to 26 March […]
