Session Type: 180-Minute Symposium
Number: 180-088
Title: Large-Scale International Collaborations and the Future of Physics
Session Start/End Time: Friday, Feb 15, 2008, 1:45 PM - 4:45 PM
Hotel: Hynes Convention Center, Third Level
Room: Room 309
Synopsis: Leaders of six international collaborations -- including the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva; the International Linear Collider, a machine proposed to follow the Large Hadron Collider; ITER, a large-scale international fusion effort; the Next Generation Space Telescope; the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, an international astronomy collaboration; and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory international energy projects -- address how large-scale international collaboration is a part of the changing face of physics. The subject matter spans much of physics and astronomy, and the nature of each international collaboration presents its own unique challenges and opportunities.
Organized by:
Lawrence M. Krauss, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH;Maria Spiropulu, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
