Over the past two years, the GDE has concentrated its efforts on advancing critical ILC R&D in order to reduce risks and to demonstrate performance. In parallel, we have established a new, more coherent and more cost-effective baseline to be used for the next phase of developing the technical design that will be incorporated in […]
GDE Executive Committee meeting at Caltech
The GDE Executive Committee held an important face-to-face meeting at Caltech in the US from 19 – 20 July 2011. Having established the new baseline for the ILC Technical Design Report (TDR) this past spring, the meeting concentrated on detailed planning for R&D, design and the actual scope and content of the report, which is […]
ILC accelerator interim report elicits positive responses
Despite the various ups and downs in resources to support the ILC R&D and design programmes, the Global Design Effort has been able to continue to make impressive progress towards establishing ILC design parameters and technologies. In our new report, we present results that demonstrate superconducting radiofrequency high-gradient technology consistent with our goals, outline results […]
