Feature: Physics and detector interim report released
A new report on International Linear Collider physics and detectors is now released. The ILC project has reached the midpoint in efforts towards delivering its technical design. The new report gives a comprehensive summary of the major accomplishments to date of the ILC R&D programmes. The new volume, International Linear Collider Physics and Detectors: 2011 Status Report, which focuses on the ILC scientific case and on the design of the detectors associated with the collider, is now available online and in print. This volume follows a first titled The International Linear Collider: A Technical Progress Report, which focused on the ILC collider. Image: Rey.Hori

Looking back on the first year of AIDA
The AIDA community takes stock of its first year of R&D activities. Twenty-three European countries are working on a variety of infrastructures that help today's researchers plan the detectors of the future - from linear colliders to neutrino facilities.Read ILC NewsLine
Nobu Toge promoted to KEK trustee
The ILC programme’s Nobu Toge has been appointed as one of KEK's five trustees. He began working with the linear collider in 1986, later joining the Global Design Effort in 2005. He'll continue his involvement with the ILC as a contributor to its Technical Design Report.Read ILC NewsLine
Long-bunch-train studies back at FLASH
In their unflagging quest to achieve higher gradients for the ILC, scientists in the 9-mA study programme at DESY’s FLASH facility develop a better knack for automating accelerator voltages, helping keep cavity gradients high and the whole system stable.Read ILC NewsLine
One-stop cavity shop
KEK's recently established Cavity Fabrication Facility is a one-stop shopping facility for fabricating superconducting radiofrequency cavities. The fully equipped facility provides a unique and valuable opportunity: a full sequence of R&D for cavity fabrication on one laboratory’s premises.Read ILC NewsLineILC in the news
