When the Pre-Lab phase kicks off with the beginning of next year, there’ll be an enormous increase of ILC R&D activities around the world. One of these is a project called “Cryomodule Global Transfer” – though “a global logistics ballet of accelerator parts” would be just as fitting. Over a period of four years, six […]
ILCX 2021: Let’s discuss about possible experimental opportunities at the ILC
The ILC International Development Team (IDT) will hold the ILC Workshop on Potential ILC Experiments (ILCX) , from 26 – 29 October, 2021. With the growing anticipation that the preparatory laboratory (Pre-lab) will be launched in the near future, we would like to initiate serious discussions about all the possible experimental opportunities at the ILC laboratory. […]
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 […]
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 […]
ICFA Press Release: ICFA appoints members for the ILC International Development Team
