Shoji Asai | 22 March 2022
The recent recommendations to Japan’s science ministry MEXT on the ILC by an expert panel caused worry and confusion in the ILC community. Some even thought it was the project’s death sentence. Shoji Asai, chair of ILC-Japan, a new promoting body for the International Linear Collider project, explains the report and KEK’s reaction to it. He took part in the expert panel to explain. He says it’s not as bad as it may seem, because we can forward some technical parts of ILC, and it tries to move the discussions of the cost-sharing. But researchers need to work together and do their part to make it happen.

After ten months of work, the ILC International Development Team, mandated to prepare the ILC Preparatory Laboratory, is reaching the first milestone with the release of a proposal which outlines the organisational framework, an implementation model and work plan of the Pre-lab. Many scientists contributed to this effort, showing the great interest of the community in the ILC project. A signal from the Japanese government towards indicating its interest in hosting the ILC and supporting the Pre-lab would now be required for gaining stronger engagement of interested laboratories around the world.

Since last October a new panel mandated by the Japan Association of High Energy Physicists will lead the Japanese community by developing and executing ILC promotion strategies targeted to a very wide audience, within Japan and abroad, in view of a timely realisation of the ILC project. Their first report is now available online in Japanese and English.

Six hundred (600) particle physicists gathered for discussions of the physics case for various options on the future of particle physics. This process to update the European Strategy for Particle Physics is mandated by the CERN Council every 6 or 7 years and this is the third time. In addition to people in Europe, there was a substantial participation from other regions, including the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
