A Clear and Strong Endorsement:European Strategy for Particle Physics
19 June 2020
On 19 June, the long-awaited report of the study group for the future European Strategy for particle physics was presented. It was a clear and strong endorsement of the need for a Higgs factory as the essential next step for particle physics and a willingness of the European particle physics community to collaborate in the ILC.
Decision on the International Linear Collider: “Not what we had hoped for but progress nevertheless”
7 March 2019
Lyn Evans, Director of the Linear Collider Collaboration that coordinates planning and research for the International Linear Collider and the Compact Linear Collider CLIC, said: “Today we did not get the green light we hoped for, but nevertheless there was a significant step forward with a strong political statement and, for the first time, a declaration of interest in further discussions by a senior member of the executive. We will continue to push hard.”

On 7 March 2019, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) will host a press conference about future prospects of the International Linear Collider. ICFA, an international body that facilitates international collaboration in the construction and use of particle accelerators for high-energy physics, expects to receive the Japanese governmentʼs point of view on the ILC at its 83rd meeting to be held at the University of Tokyo.
The linear view on the European Strategy for Particle Physics
Starting in 2019, scientists from all over Europe and beyond will update the official European Strategy for Particle Physics. This is a recurring process that takes into account latest developments in the field to help define its future direction. Both future linear colliders, CLIC and ILC, submitted documents as an input to the strategy, which you can read here.

End-of-run rush for CLIC pixel detectors in test beams
13 December 2018
CERN’s accelerators are going into a two-year shutdown at the end of 2018, so CLIC detector developers ended their test beam season with a final push in early November, getting the most out of the last few days of proton running at CERN. CLIC poses challenging requirements for its future detector, and several silicon pixel-detector technologies are being tested.
