Linear Collider Collaboration

The Linear Collider Collaboration (LCC) is an organization designated by the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) to coordinate global research and development efforts for two next-generation particle physics colliders: the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC).[1] The mission of the LCC is to facilitate decisions that the next collider "will be built, and where".[2] Members of the collaboration include approximately 2000 accelerator and particle physicists, engineers and other scientists.[2]

Lyn Evans

In June 2012 ICFA named Lyn Evans, the former project manager of the CERN Large Hadron Collider, as Linear Collider Director.[3] CERN Courier noted, "Evans is the first to hold this new position, which is to lead the Linear Collider organization, created to bring the two existing large-scale linear collider programmes under one governance."[3] He will "lead the effort to unify these programmes and will represent this combined effort to the worldwide science community and funding agencies."[3]
