ICFA appoints members for the ILC International Development Team

10 September 2020
International Committee for Future Accelerators

The international effort to realise the next major particle collider, the International Linear Collider (ILC), has a new team to lead the project. Today the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced the structure and the team members of the ILC International Development Team (ILC-IDT).

On 2 August, ICFA approved the formation of the ILC-IDT with a mandate to make preparations for the ILC Pre-Lab in Japan, as the first step of the preparation phase of the ILC project. ICFA appointed Tatsuya Nakada, a professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, as the chair. Nakada is a former chair of the Linear Collider Board, a panel of ICFA that promoted the case for the construction of an electron-positron linear collider and its detectors as a world-wide collaborative project. 

The Team is hosted by KEK and consists of the Executive Board (EB) and three Working Groups (WG1, WG2 and WG3). The EB comprises a Chair, three members representing the three regions contributing to the ILC effort (Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe), and three ex-officio members (KEK liaison officer and Chairs of WG2 and WG3, whereas WG1 is chaired by the EB Chair). 

The Team members are:

Tatsuya Nakada (EPFL), Chair–Executive Committee and Working Group 1

Steinar Stapnes (CERN), Regional Representative–Europe

Andy Lankford (University of California, Irvine), Regional Representative–Americas

Geoffrey Taylor (University of Melbourne), Regional Representative–Asia/Oceania

Shinichiro Michizono (KEK), Chair–Working Group 2 

Hitoshi Murayama (University California Berkeley/ IPMU-University of Tokyo), Chair–Working Group 3

Yasuhiro Okada (KEK), KEK Liaison 

 

The Team has commenced its work and is expected to complete its mandate by the end of 2021.
