A new season of the YouTube series on ILC channel featuring theoretical physicist Hitoshi Murayama has started on 5 November, bringing renewed attention to the future of the International Linear Collider (ILC). The first episode delves into the United States’ future plans for high-energy physics, outlining how upcoming strategic decisions may influence global collider projects, including the ILC. Murayama […]
P5 report supports Higgs factory including the ILC, says the chair
The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) is a panel established under High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) that advises the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of High Energy Physics and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics. On December 7th of last year, this panel released a report called “Exploring Quantum Universe […]
New ILC videos released
APS TV paid us a visit in early 2023 to get the latest news on the status of the ILC. This video was shown at the American Physics Society Meeting in March. Two types of videos were made this time: a longer one and a shorter one. Jenny List, Working Group Leader in the International […]
ILC expert panel review: hosting is not the problem, says Shoji Asai
Designed by Freepik Many in the high energy physics community might know that Japan’s ILC Advisory Panel which examines the ILC project for the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), released its recommendation on 14 February. Following that, KEK issued a statement about what steps they will take in response to […]
ILC Preparatory Laboratory proposal released
The ILC International Development Team (IDT) was established by the International Committee for Future Accelerator (ICFA) in August 2020, to prepare the ILC Preparatory Laboratory (Pre-lab) that would complete the technical development and engineering preparation for the International Linear Collider project to be ready for construction. During the same period, governmental authorities of interested nations […]
LCWS2021- the community focuses on an ILC Pre-Lab as the next step
The 2021 International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS2021), arranged by Europe as an online conference with more than 900 registered participants, took place from 15 to 18 March. As earlier conferences in this series it was primarily devoted to the physics, detector, and accelerator studies for the Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) and the International […]
Japanese high-energy physics community accelerates ILC effort with new organisation
On 28 October, Japan’s high-energy physics community took a big step. The Japan Association of High Energy Physicists (JAHEP) announced the establishment of a new organisation called the ILC Steering Panel. The panel’s mandate is to lead the community in the timely realisation of the ILC project by developing and executing ILC promotion strategies in […]
ICFA Press Release: ICFA appoints members for the ILC International Development Team
The international effort to realise the next major particle collider, the International Linear Collider (ILC), has a new team to lead the project. Today the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced the structure and the team members of the ILC International Development Team (ILC-IDT). On 2 August, ICFA approved the formation of the ILC-IDT […]
ICFA and the ILC’s International Development Team
Until the end of its mandate in June 2020 the Linear Collider Board (LCB) had been operating under the auspices of ICFA to study options for a future linear collider. To build upon the work of the LCB, ICFA has taken a major step to focus on requirements to establish an ILC “Pre-Lab” in Japan […]
A team effort for a new collider
After seven years of work, the Linear Collider Board (LCB) and Linear Collider Collaboration (LCC), which were established by the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) completed their term in June 2020. Taking into account the recent increase of political support in Japan for the ILC, ICFA concluded that the ILC project should take a […]
