Busloads of new Stanford graduates and their families admired the field of golden grass on SLAC's eastern-most hill on a sunny Saturday in May. But their stunned tour guides looked in dismay as they sought 50 bright red balloons.

Postcards from the terascale

In February, the Department of Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation asked the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel "to form a committee to write a document" that addresses the synergies and complementarities of the Large Hadron Collider, now under constructi

Global ILC efforts

Designing the International Linear Collider is a global enterprise. Physicists and accelerator experts from around the world are collaborating to design the approximately 25-mile-long machine.

In their hands: the future of particle physics

Particle physics is at a critical time, and its future depends on how well scientists can make their case to a diverse National Academy of Sciences panel.

Foiled car foils attempt to monopolize parking

In mid-June, Fermilab employees got a surprise as they drove through the DZero parking lot. Sitting in a prime spot in the small parking lot in front of the main building was a car, completely covered in aluminum foil and adorned with decorations.

CLIC: The Compact Linear Collider

As the Global Design Effort for the proposed International Linear Collider starts to take shape, an international collaboration of scientists simultaneously works on an alternative linear collider technology that pushes physics and engineering to the edge.

Collaborating at 40,000 feet

Phillipe Galvez wasn't even supposed to be on the flight. After a delay of his original flight, from Los Angeles to Frankfurt, he was placed on a flight to Munich.

International Linear Collider

The International Linear Collider is a proposed new electron-positron collider. Together with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, it would allow physicists to explore energy regions beyond the reach of today's accelerators.
