ICFA Meeting |
TIFR, Mumbai
|
A report was given on the ILCSC meeting that was held earlier on 24 August. R&D on the ILC accelerator, and the ILC detector designs, are progressing well. The mandates of the GDE and Research director were extended to 31 December 2013. A new structure for linear collider activities after 2012, which will include both ILC and CLIC, was discussed, and will be presented to the February 2012 ILCSC meeting.
A document, titled “Beacons of Discovery”, is being produced by an ICFA subgroup. It will show the excitement of particle physics; it should explain that we will be able to answer some of the major science questions in the future; and it will also show spin-offs from the field. The final document will be available at the October 2011 ICFA Seminar.
The Chair of ICFA for the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2014 will be Pier Oddone.
