1 International Cooperation in High Energy Physics
Barry Barish Caltech 30-Oct-06

2 International Collaboration a brief history
The Beginning of Modern Particle Physics The Discovery of the p Meson (1947) by Cecil Powell of the University of Bristol, using photographic emulsions at sites located at high altitude mountains (first at Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the Pyrenees and later at Chacaltaya in the Andes This led to an international collaboration searching for cosmic ray interactions using an American balloon and British emulsions. 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

3 International Collaboration a brief history
Then Began the Era of Large Particle Accelerators Required significant resources I.I. Rabi in recognized and stated, “the urgency of creating regional centres and laboratories in order to increase and make fruitful the international collaboration of scientists in fields where the effort of any one country is insufficient for the task.” This soon led to accelerator projects at BNL (1947) and the setting up of CERN in Geneva in 1952 CERN Synchro- Cyclotron 600 MeV 1957 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

4 International Collaboration a brief history
Big Bubble Chambers (1960s) Large (often international) teams formed to analyze millions of pictures 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

5 International Collaboration a brief history
Big Bubble Chambers (1960s) Large (often international) teams formed to analyze millions of pictures This led to the discovery of the large number of “so-called” elementary particles SU(3) and the Quark Model made sense of this jungle of particles Discovery of Omego-minus 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

23 International Collaboration how did we get here?
Theorists have collaborated worldwide, scientist to scientist with few barriers Experimentalists also developed scientist to scientist collaborations internationally, but facilities and resources and involved. International Union for Physics and Applied Physics (IUPAP) created the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) in 1976 ICFA sponsored a resolution which was supported by all the existing laboratories (and by implication, the sponsoring agencies) to the effect that criteria for acceptance of proposals on high energy accelerator facilities should be based only on scientific merit and ability of the proposers to carry out the research. 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

24 International Collaboration what’s the future?
ICFA has continued for 30 years to lead in the development of the field and the use of facilities Accelerator R&D New Accelerator Projects Computer networking Large Collaborations Recent statements and actions toward the International Linear Collider have been crucial CERN is our closest approximation of an international laboratory -- LHC is the next big facility in the field, involving CERN member states and many others. 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

25 CERN – Geneva Switzerland
Accelerators and the Energy Frontier Large Hadron Collider CERN – Geneva Switzerland 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

26 Electron Positron Colliders The Energy Frontier

27 International Technology Review Panel

28 The ITRP Recommendation
We recommend that the linear collider be based on superconducting rf technology This recommendation is made with the understanding that we are recommending a technology, not a design. We expect the final design to be developed by a team drawn from the combined warm and cold linear collider communities, taking full advantage of the experience and expertise of both (from the Executive Summary). 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

29 SCRF Technology Recommendation
The recommendation of ITRP was presented to ILCSC & ICFA on August 19, 2004 in a joint meeting in Beijing. ICFA unanimously endorsed the ITRP’s recommendation on August 20, 2004 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

30 Global Effort on Design / R&D for ILC
EU US Asia 2003年 7月 Joint Design, Implementation, Operations, Management Host Country Provides Conventional Facilities 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS

31 International Collaboration conclusions
International Collaboration in High Energy Physics is more important than ever. The Pacific Region is capable of playing a major and increasing role in the future. The Mission of Particle Physics is expanding, to embrace much of the forward looking science spearheaded in the Pacific Region over the past decade Asia will be full partners and perhaps hosts of the next great particle accelerator – the ILC 30-Oct-06 Hawaii DPF JPS
