- CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION -

 

"This "Colloque" is the 7th in the Worldwide LCWS series which started at Saariselka, Finland in 1991, continuing in Waikoloa, Hawaii; Morioka-Appi, Japan; Sitges, Spain; Fermilab, USA; and Jeju, Korea. These workshop-style conferences have been the main international forum for developing the physics case and reviewing detector designs and techniques for an electron-positron linear collider programme in the energy range up to about 1 TeV. LCWS 2004 takes place while the International Technology Reccomendation Panel is meeting to decide between the "warm" and "cold" accelerator technologies. Following their recommendation a Global Design Team will be started and preparations will begin for the bid to governments for full funding."
