Colloquium speaker, Hasan Padamsee (Cornell University) today at 3:45pm

[Patterson, Robin L.]

Please join us for the Physics Colloquium today, at 3:45 PM in The Robert Smith Seminar Room. There will be a reception at 3:30PM in the Atrium. Details concerning the talk are as follows:

Speaker:         Hasan Padamsee (Cornell University)
Date:               Tuesday, January 15, 2019
Time:              3:45PM
Place:             1080 Physics Research Building, The Robert Smith Seminar Room
Title:                Prediction: Will Japan Choose to Build the International Linear Collider (ILC)?


Abstract:  The ILC has been "in the air" now since the publication of TDR (Technical Design Report) in 2013 under Barry Barish as the head of the GDE (Global Design Effort). ( I was a member of the GDE. )  The accelerator has since evolved to start as a high intensity Higgs-physics machine  at 250 GeV, instead of the original design energy of 500 GeV.  This first stage will allow a cost reduction of about 40% from the TDR.  The world High Energy Physics community awaits a decision from Japan to acccept the challenge to build ILC with global  participation.  The decision is likely to come by the end of 2018.
This talk will give a description of the ILC, the core superconducting acceleration technology and  the physics potential for the Higgs.  It will conclude with a prediction about the impending decision, and of course the basis for that prediction.

Also, there is the speaker/student discussion starting just after the colloquium, at 4:45pm in the Smith Seminar Room.
