Today, I am pleased to announce that the Seventh International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders will be held from 27 November to 8 December 2012 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Indore, India. These Linear Collider accelerator schools have been helping fill the need to provide training for young scientists interested in pursuing careers in […]
DESY meets India
What do huge sailing ships, science and India have in common? They were all present at this year’s celebrations for the birthday of Hamburg’s harbour. This year’s special guest country was India, and as DESY has strong links with India especially in the field of photon science, DESY put up a tent in the harbour […]

From Fermilab: Collaboration between Fermilab, Indian institutions sets stage for future accelerators
INDORE, India (February 10, 2009) – The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., today announced the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding with four Indian institutions. The MOU establishes collaboration in the areas of superconducting acceleration science and technology and in research and development of superconducting materials. “Ushering in the […]
Collaboration between India and Japan for SCRF technology
India’s Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) is a leading institute for research and development in lasers, accelerators and their applications. In the Indian government’s current five-year plan (April 2007-April 2012), building infrastructure and developing the technology of niobium superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF) cavities are the two major objectives for high-energy physics and accelerator-related projects. […]
From Fermilab Today: India’s RRCAT director tours U.S. laboratories
If the ILC could be defined by one thing it would be superconducting radiofrequency technology or SCRF. This article from Fermilab Today describes how India is planning to work with US labs on developing this technology.
Vinod Sahni, the director of India’s Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology, spent the greater part of December visiting U.S. laboratories. Tour stops included Brookhaven, SLAC and Fermilab, where he had the opportunity to discuss such activities as superconducting radiofrequency technology and Project X. RRCAT, a multi-program laboratory located outside Indore, India, is currently commissioning […]
GDE Boards Deliver Updates in Bangalore
Design and Cost Board Peter Garbincius, chair of the GDE Design and Cost Board, presented their ongoing work. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides templates to each GDE working group and helps them define their cost estimates. “The main issues of this group is to make sure that the final system will be consistent and […]
Hosting the LCWS06
Rohini Godbole of the Indian Institute of Science, who hosted the combined workshop of LCWS06 and the third Global Design Effort meeting, sees the value of combining the phenomenologists, theorists, experimentalists, accelerator physicists, and people from industry to come together in one place. “I’ve been involved in linear collider physics since 1990,” Godbole says. “Some […]
Developing Partnership with India on the ILC
Director’s Corner 16 March 2006 Barry Barish Developing Partnership with India on the ILC Last week, I discussed a set of visits to government officials in India with the purpose of laying the groundwork for Indian collaboration on the ILC. True collaboration is made between scientists, however, so the visits of our delegation to several […]
