As the summer conferences are kicking off, providing more and more complete 8 TeV LHC (Large Hadron Collider) results and the very first glimpses of 13 TeV data, it is also time to start thinking about the autumn linear collider programme. The highlight for the linear collider community is the yearly international Linear Collider Workshop […]
Linear Collider Accelerator School
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 […]
Linear Collider Accelerator School
The Sixth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders was held from 6 to 17 November last year at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, US. This highly selective and successful school series began in 2006 in Japan and has rotated between America, Europe and Asia in subsequent years. The school has an in-depth […]
How to become an accelerator physicist
I am pleased to announce the Sixth International Accelerator School for Linear Colliders that will be held from 6 to 17 November 2011. The Global Design Effort has both been a sponsor and contributed lecturers to the first five schools in this series. The last school was held in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland last autumn. This year’s […]
