If you have always wanted to lead a global team of accelerator and detector experts to work with you on the electron-positron collider concepts of the future, directing the way particle physics will take after results from the Large Hadron Collider LHC, then the followingCERN position will certainly interest you.Applicants are advised to grow large […]
Report on the CLIC workshop
Director’s Corner 5 November 2009 Barry Barish Report on the CLIC workshop The September ALCPG and ILC meeting in Albuquerque, US, featured a plenary talk on the Compact Linear Collider Study CLIC by Jean–Pierre Delahaye, who gave a very nice description of the CLIC status and plans. His talk was well received by the ILC […]
Linear collider detector development
Research Director’s Report22 October 2009 Hitoshi Yamamoto Linear collider detector developmentThis month’s Research Director’s Report was written by Hitoshi Yamamoto, co-chair of the Worldwide Study and regional detector contact for Asia.I have just attended the CLIC09 workshop at CERN and am writing this column in the plane on the way back home. The number of […]
From CERN Bulletin: The collider of the future?
Why are two studies for one linear collider being conducted in parallel? This is far from a duplication of effort or a waste of resources, since the two studies reflect a complementary strategy aimed at providing the best technology for future physics. On Friday 12 June CERN hosted the first joint meeting between CLIC, ILC […]
A picture is worth a thousand words
Director’s Corner 2 July 2009 Barry Barish “A picture is worth a thousand words” – (sometimes attributed to) Napoléon Bonaparte Today, in less than 1000 words, I announce the addition of a new member of the Global Design Effort Executive Committee (EC), Jean-Pierre Delahaye of CERN. Jean-Pierre will allow us to form stronger ties with […]
A step at a time
Director’s Corner 18 June 2009 Barry Barish A step at a time Last week we held the first ever joint meeting of the GDE Executive Committee and the CLIC Extended Steering Committee. This meeting at CERN represented another step in bringing the CLIC and ILC efforts closer together. CERN’s Director General Rolf Heuer, the CERN […]
Linear collider collaborations meet
Project manager Marc Ross reports from CERN
The ILC-CLIC (International Linear Collider – Compact Linear Collider Study) collaboration was started earlier this year at CERN. It consists of five working groups which are led by conveners from both projects. Collaboration mandates and activities were defined with an eye toward this autumn’s workshops: the CLIC08 workshop, held at CERN from 14 to 17 […]
ILC meets the CLIC team
After the Large Hadron Collider, the science community agrees that particle physicists will need an electron-positron linear collider to fully understand and discover the potential new science at high energy regimes. Apart from the International Linear Collider – whose ‘cold’ accelerating technology is based on superconducting radiofrequency cavities – another variant of an electron collider, […]
A more integrated approach toward an energy frontier lepton collider
Director’s Corner 13 December 2007 Barry Barish A more integrated approach toward an energy frontier lepton collider All of particle physics is poised for the impending first explorations of the trillion-electronvolt (TeV) energy scale at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Within the next couple of years, the LHC will lead the way in opening up this […]
