YOUNG SCIENTISTS GATHERED FOR WORKSHOP ON E+ E- COLLIDERS

CERN hosted the CERN-BINP workshop for young scientists in e+e- colliders from 22-25 August 2016. The workshop was organized in the framework of the EU-funded Cremlin project (Connecting Russian and European Measures for Large-scale Research Infrastructures), which aims at strengthening science cooperation between six Russian mega-science facilities and related research infrastructure counterparts in Europe.
The workshop included lectures by prominent scientists on accelerator design, particle detectors and physics studies. The program also provided numerous site visits all around CERN. Since the workshop was discussing future colliders, it emphasized involving young people in the projects.

This year some 30 scientists from Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS (BINP) and 20 scientists from CERN, as well as 10 further participants from Austria, China, France, Germany and Turkey, got together to present and discuss their research on electron-positron colliders.
BINP and CERN are each engaged in the design of future state-of-the art electron positron colliders. BINP is preparing for a future Super Charm-Tau factory (SCT), which aims at producing e+e- collisions up to 5 GeV centre-of-mass energy at very high intensity. In parallel CERN is hosting design studies for two different e+e- colliders, FCC-ee and CLIC, with very high center-of-mass energies ranging from 90 GeV to 3 TeV. The BINP and CERN designs address overlapping technological and scientific challenges.
“It is a great honor and pleasure for CERN to organize the CERN-BINP workshop and to exchange views and experiences with such a large delegation of young experts from Novosibirsk,” mentioned CERN's Linear Collider Detector project leader, Lucie Linssen.
