China plans super collider Proposals for two accelerators could see country become collider capital of the world. Elizabeth Gibney 22 July 2014 For decades, Europe and the United States have led the way when it comes to high-energy particle colliders. But a proposal by China that is quietly gathering momentum has raised the possibility that…
By George Musser | Fonte: Scientific American June 9, 2014 In 1954 the renowned physicist Enrico Fermi did a simple but depressing calculation about future particle accelerators. To create particles with an energy of 3 teraelectron-volts, he estimated, you’d have to build a ring 8,000 kilometers in radius at a cost of $170 billion. It was a…
Fonte: physics world High-energy particle physicists in the US must build further international collaborations and co-operation, according to recommendations made by the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel’s (P5) 2014 report, which was released yesterday. Top priorities over the next two decades include the US playing a vital role in upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at…
Di Marc-Andre Miserez, swissinfo.ch 01 ottobre 2013 – 11:06 L’LHC, il grande acceleratore di particelle del CERN, ha già il suo successore: l’ILC. L’inaugurazione è prevista tra una quindicina d’anni, probabilmente in Giappone. Ciò non significherà la fine del sito franco-svizzero, poiché la ricerca dei segreti della materia può essere condotta solo con uno sforzo mondiale. ILC…

By DENNIS OVERBYE Are the glory days of American physics over? On a Sunday morning early in January, about two dozen prominent physicists gathered behind closed doors at the California Institute of Technology to ponder the state of their craft… continua su nytimes.com
ILC and CLIC unite in the Linear Collider Collaboration, a new global organisation to advance the global development work for next-generation particle collider 21 February 2013 Vancouver, 21 February 2013. The two most mature future particle physics projects, the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider study (CLIC), have formed an official organisational…
Mercoledì 05 Settembre 2012 Il 10 settembre si apre a Cracovia, in Polonia, il workshop dell’European Strategy for Particle Physics che ha il compito, come dice il nome di fissare la strategie europee nel campo delle ricerche nella fisica delle particelle per i prossimi anni. Il presidente dell’INFN, Fernando Ferroni, ha risposto ad alcune domande…
Physicists are planning the powerful accelerators they will need to study the Higgs boson and its interactions in detail. Matthew Chalmers 29 August 2012 ILLUSTRATION BY BRENDAN MONROE When particle physicists around the world woke up on 5 July, the scenes of joy, relief and tears were still fresh in their minds — along with…
By Hamish Johnston Japan has announced that it will bid to host the International Linear Collider (ILC), which is expected to be the next big experiment in particle physics after the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The Japanese press is saying that the particle smasher – which is expected to cost about $8bn and stretch for 40 km…
Fonte: NHK World Japan has launched a bid to build the world’s largest particle collider, a huge underground experimental facility for studying unknown subatomic particles. About 150 people including scientists and Diet members attended a symposium marking the start of the bid for the International Linear Collider project in Tokyo on Thursday. Prime Minister Yoshihiko…
