Plenary Talks - 15 August 2005
 Ed Berger Welcome and charge Workshop co-chair Ed Berger, of Argonne National Laboratory, kicked off Monday’s plenary sessions by providing an overview of the Snowmass Workshop and its role in the progress toward the design and development of the International Linear Collider. “The international community has made remarkable progress toward the realization of the International Linear Collider,” Berger said. “But many challenges lie ahead.” Berger summarized the four major goals for the two-week workshop as:
Slides (PPT) |  Joe Lykken HEPAP and the LHC/ILC Report Theorist Joe Lykken of Fermilab continued the morning’s session with discussions about the physics of the ILC. Lykken summarized the HEPAP report, “Discovering the Quantum Universe: The Role of Particle Colliders.” “The report describes the discovery opportunities for the Large Hadron Collider and the proposed International Linear Collider,” Lykken said. “One of the points that we make in this report is that there are plenty of discoveries to go around.” The first version of the report was released earlier this month for the EPP2010 Committee. A new version, written and designed for a broader audience, will be available in September. “There is a great synergy between the LHC and the ILC, and we have to make a strong compelling case to various audiences,” said Lykken. “The report is the first step toward building the ILC.”

Barish also highlighted recent GDE communications activities by officially launching the GDE ILC Web site, http://www.linearcollider.org. “The idea is that the new site will be one stop shopping for the ILC community,” he said. “The site will have an EDMS system, news updates, announcements and a calendar of events. We welcome your suggestions and look forward to hearing from you.” |
