What's Up with the Linear Collider? The sixth in a series of Fermilab Today stories on the International Linear Collider. The entire series is available online. ILC Engineering Test Facility | ||

Taking a long-range view of the proposed International Linear Collider,
Fermilab has proposed that an engineering test facility would be needed
at the later design stages. Such a facility would address engineering,
accelerator physics, cost, schedule, and international organizational issues.
"While other test facilities exist, our perspective is that the governments involved will want a large-scale systems test to demonstrate that the underlying technology works as a system, and that it can meet the assumed cost and schedule goals for construction," said Fermilab Associate Director for Accelerators Steve Holmes, a member of the U.S. Linear Collider Steering Committee. "We assume
Holmes said any engineering test facility would be set up and operated under the auspices of the proposed ILC Global Design Initiative, which would coordinate design efforts in the Asian, European and American regions. (See Fermilab Today, Fri., July 23, 2004-"Fermilab's GDI Site Proposal.") Early thinking also accommodates the possibility of a "suite" of test facilities at different sites, instead of a single facility, with each proving out different aspects of the proposed ILC. | ||

Farewell, Patricia Gunn! Patricia Gunn of FESS will retire tomorrow after 16 years at Fermilab. Gunn worked in Business Services during her first 3 years at the lab then moved to FESS, where she worked for 10 years. For the past 3 years, she's communicated with elevator and window
"Now I'm going to relax, do a little traveling and enjoy my family," said Gunn, who has relatives in Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. "We're also planning a trip to Europe, but haven't worked out the details." Since all of Gunn's children and grandchildren live near her and her husband in Geneva, a town she loves, she's in no hurry to get away.
"Fermilab is a wonderful place to work," she said. "We're so fortunate to
have such a beautiful campus and such phenomenal benefits. But what I'll
miss most is the atmosphere, and all of the interesting people."

From the Chicago Tribune, July 28, 2004 City may get link to NIU, Fermilab by Denise Linke BATAVIA -- Batavia schools and offices could get a fiber-optic link to Northern Illinois University and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory this fall if the City Council agrees to let NIU piggyback onto the city's existing fiber-optic ring, the Public Utilities Committee learned this week.
NIU officials have asked for two of the city's 96 fibers to help bridge the gap between the DeKalb campus and Fermilab, said City Manager Bill McGrath. The city and university would then split the estimated $60,000 cost to run fiber-optic cable about 3 miles along existing Commonwealth Edison overhead lines to connect to Fermilab's system.
