Press release: Colliders colliding

ILC and CLIC unite in the Linear Collider Collaboration, a new global organisation to advance the global development work for next-generation particle collider

| 21 February 2013

Vancouver, 21 February 2013. The two most mature future particle physics projects, the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider study (CLIC), have formed an official organisational partnership today. As the newly founded Linear Collider Collaboration, they will coordinate and advance the global development work for the linear collider, a global project to […]

Members of new Linear Collider Board announced

| 10 January 2013

Pier Oddone, the Chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced yesterday the membership of the new Linear Collider Board (LCB), which as a sub-panel of ICFA will promote and oversee the development of a linear collider and its detectors as a world-wide collaborative project. The recently appointed Linear Collider Director, Lyn Evans, […]

ILCSC plans the future

| 23 August 2012

In the wake of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle at CERN, the International Linear Collider Steering Committee met at ICHEP12 to orchestrate its own demise (and ours), while taking steps to put into place its (and our) replacements that will have the goal of making the linear collider the next global project in high-energy […]

From ICFA : Lyn Evans appointed as Linear Collider Director

| 21 June 2012

The international effort to design the world’s next major particle collider has a new leader. On 20 May 2012, the International Committee for Future Accelerators announced the appointment of CERN’s Lyn Evans as the new Linear Collider Director. Evans is the first to hold the new position, which will lead the Linear Collider organisation created […]

FALC meets in Japan

| 24 May 2012

The ILC initiative is unique in many ways, but perhaps the most striking characteristic is that it is truly a global effort having no home laboratory to support or guide its efforts. Instead, scientific guidance comes from the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), currently chaired by Pier Oddone, through its subcommittee, the International Linear […]

The International Linear Collider Steering Committee plans for the future

| 8 March 2012

The International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC), a subcommittee of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), provides oversight to the Global Design Effort. As we approach our final milestone, the publication of the ILC Technical Design Report, the ILCSC is in the process of creating a new organisational structure and mandate for future work […]

From Fermilab Today: ILCSC and ICFA meetings

| 23 February 2012

Meetings for the International Linear Collider Steering Committee and the International Committee for Future Accelerators recently took place in Oxford, England. One of the principal issues discussed at both meetings was a new organization for the worldwide linear collider effort.

Pondering the future of particle physics

| 8 December 2011

The International Committee on Future Accelerators (ICFA) sponsors a seminar on “Future Perspectives in High Energy Physics” every three years. This year’s four-day international exchange of information, held at CERN from 3 to 6 October, concentrated on plans for future facilities in the field of particle physics. In addition, the seminar reviewed the new results from […]
