Collaboration towards the
realisation of the ILC
The AAA symposium promoted cooperation between government, industry and
academia. |
On 26 February, in the middle of an important Diet discussion
(equivalent to members of congress in Japan) on the supplemental bill,
the Advanced Accelerator Association Promoting Science and Technology
(AAA) held a symposium entitled “Departing from Japan to Universe -
Toward the realisation of International Linear Collider (ILC)” in
Akasaka, central region of Tokyo with over 150 participants from
industry, academia and the political community. AAA, established in
June 2008 with a total of about 100 companies, universities and
laboratories, has discussed issues on R&D, intellectual property
rights and other related areas concerning the ILC as a model project.
The primary aim of this symposium was to review AAA’s activities for
fiscal year 2008 and to gain a better understanding of the advanced
accelerator – the significance of promoting the R&D and the
expected impact to the society.

CALICE meeting in Korea
CALICE Scintillator-based ECAL test module at Fermilab |
This is the second report on the two detector meetings held in Korea in
February, ILD and CALICE, this time focusing on the CALICE (Calorimeter
for the linear collider experiment) collaboration spring meeting at
Kyungpook National University in Daegu on 19 and 20 February. CALICE,
launched in 2002, meets twice a year to discuss the R&D issues of
calorimetry technologies and the large-scale test beam experiments,
specifically in the recent meetings to prepare for the world’s first
test on a digital hadron calorimeter.

Progress on Fermilab's
cryomodule for FLASH
This photo of the 3.9
GHz cryomodule was taken on Thursday last week after the cold mass
assembly including the four-cavity string was inserted into the vacuum
vessel. Before the cold mass went into the vessel the Fermilab team
gathered round for a group photo. The module is due to arrive at DESY's
Hall 3 in approximately one month. (Photos: Fermilab)

Renewing links with
superconducting cavity manufacturers
Today's issue features a Director's Corner from
Marc Ross, Project Manager for the Global Design Effort.
A picture taken with the optical cavity inspection tool. Defects are
clearly visible. |
The most important performance parameter for a linear accelerator is
its cost per electronvolt of accelerated beam, or cost per watt of
delivered beam power. In the early 1990s, a core group of experts from
labs in each today’s ILC regions Americas, Asia and Europe, concluded
that the so-called 'cold technology', based on superconducting
radiofrequency (rf), could effectively compete with traditional 'warm
technology' for the next energy frontier machine, the linear collider.
They then set about to prove the cold technology was a cost-effective
alternative through the TESLA collaboration and through partnerships
with cavity manufacturing companies. This guest Director's Corner is
about our effort to open new relationships and partnerships with these
companies, worldwide.
