Director’s Corner 22 April 2010 Barry Barish ILC-CLIC general issues group At the Beijing meeting, Philippe Lebrun gave a report to the Global Design Effort Executive Committee of the initial work of the new “ILC-CLIC general issues group.” This working group consists of Philippe Lebrun (co-chair), Ken Peach and Daniel Schulte from the Compact Linear […]
Formalising and extending the ILC-CLIC collaboration
Director’s Corner 4 February 2010 Barry Barish Formalising and extending the ILC-CLIC collaboration The ILC-CLIC collaborative work has become an important element in our activities. In addition to the technical interchange and joint work through seven working groups, we held a Global Design Effort Executive Committee meeting at CERN last June and will organise a […]
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 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 […]

Formalising the CLIC-ILC collaboration
Director’s Corner 13 November 2008 Barry Barish Formalising the CLIC-ILC collaboration Collaboration between our ILC R&D and design work and the parallel effort towards the CLIC concept stands to be of benefit to both groups. This direction also promises to help break down barriers between the two groups, making the worldwide effort towards a linear […]
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, […]
