Un grupo de físicos se reúne hoy para desarrollar nuevos detectores de partículas (in Spanish)
"El acelerador ILC, cuya ubicación deberá ser definida en el año 2.012, será construido a partir de esa fecha y se espera que comience su funcionamiento hacia el año 2020..."

Can triniobium tin shrink accelerators? Exotic superconductors promise savings.
"...Although a distant goal, achieving such gradients could result in huge savings for future accelerators. For example, the US$7-billion International Linear Collider (ILC) — a wished for next-generation particle accelerator — will need thousands of cavities, stretching along a tunnel 31 kilometres long, to help it produce energies of 500 gigaelectronvolts..."

Condensed-matter physicist to head DESY
"...Dosch will see DESY take an important role in XFEL, the European X–ray Free Electron Laser, which is being built next to the lab’s Hamburg site. He will also oversee DESY’s ongoing contribution to the development of new technologies for the International Linear Collider — the next big particle physics experiment after the LHC..."

STFC gives extra money for grants
"...We have known for a few months now which facilities would be funded by the STFC in full — and which, like the Gemini telescopes and the ILC, would see the UK’s involvement cut back. What was not known, though, was how much research grants would be slashed..."

Where have our Nobel physics prizes gone?
"International reputations are vital in particle physics, which is far too expensive and complicated to be carried out by single countries. Whichever nation ends up hosting the international linear collider, it would reap scientific and economic rewards..."

Japan shows interest in hosting the ILC
"Since the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded this week to three Japanese-born researchers, it seems like Japan has gone particle-physics crazy, or at least the Japanese government has.
So much so that Japan now wants to host the next big experiment in particle physics — the International Linear Collider (ILC)..."
