UK To Withdraw from ILC?
December 11, 2007
I caught this article linked from the “SLAC Today” website: “UK pulls out of plan for the ILC”. With the recent speech by Dr. Raymond Orbach at Fermilab, encouraging the community to put on the brakes on the ILC, and with this financial crisis in the UK, it begins to feel like a once great international initiative is beginning to unravel. This, of course, isn’t to say that there isn’t great research needed to construct such a powerful machine, nor is the physics case diminished by such events. However, great science needs great funding, and this is not great news.
