Engineers and scientists look at the ILC in three
dimensions
3-D tunnel vision: the results of a modelling integration trial gives
first glimpses of what the ILC tunnel could look like. |
In order to have a detailed and visual model of the ILC tunnels,
shafts, accelerator components, beam pipes and support lines, a team
from around the world has just shown that they can produce
three-dimensional ILC models. These will be crucial for efficient
future planning and integration and will now be extended to other areas
than the one of the sample exercise.

Impressions from TILC09
Big international meetings always mean a lot of preparation for many
people — not only for the local organisers like the team who smoothly
and perfectly hosted the 200+-participant meeting held in Tsukuba,
Japan, until Tuesday this week. Participants have to prepare for these
meetings as well. The TILC09 workshop was particularly intense for the
whole community: half of the participants had just passed a phase of
night-long writing and editing sessions for the Letters of Intent (LOI)
for the ILC detector concepts, while the other half spent weeks
preparing for an internal review of the accelerator held all of last
week. The accelerator review report will be published in the coming
weeks and detector concept validation will be presented this autumn. See
the photo album for a few impressions. Photos: Nobu Toge, Perrine

SiD Reaches Design Milestone
"There is a level of sophistication in these documents that I think has
never before been presented at this level of detector design," said
Jaros. "Everyone who has worked on this deserves a lot of praise."

Can R2 gravity explain dark matter?
"In many ways, the standard model of cosmology works very well," Jose
Cembranos tells PhysOrg. "However, there are very basic features that
we just do not know."

FLASH – ILC-like beam
tests at DESY
Layout of the former TESLA test facility TTF or FLASH at DESY |
Developing high-gradient superconducting radiofrequency (rf) cavities,
cryomodules and rf systems for the ILC is at the heart of our R&D
programme. An essential part of this programme will be systems tests,
including tests with beams. Before we can develop our own test systems
that use ILC modules, we are making a series of important tests using
the FLASH free-electron laser linac at DESY. These tests are enabling
us to have an early look at a variety of questions by using an electron
linac operating near our reference design gradients and with nominal
ILC-like beams.
