Dear Colleagues, KEK has released their latest Five Year Plan. The Roadmap is the laboratory’s mid‐range research plan; the previous version was published in December 2007, and supplemented in April, 2010. This new “KEK Roadmap 2013” is a major revision that was prepared by KEK’s Research Steering Committee through its deliberations since April 2012. The full roadmap (in english) can be found online at: http://www.kek.jp/ja/About/OrganizationOverview/Assessment/Roadmap/roadmap2013-E.pdf The original Japanese version is available at: http://www.kek.jp/ja/About/OrganizationOverview/Assessment/Roadmap/roadmap2013-J.pdf The Report of the Review Committee of the “KEK Roadmap 2013” was also released. Of particular note is the following: " There exists a golden opportunity now for KEK, and Japan, to lead a global effort to realize a Higgs factory. The Higgs factory is the initial stage of a program that will extend to higher energies, searching for physics beyond the Standard Model, such as Dark Matter. The Committee strongly encourages KEK to take the initiative to build strong international collaborations with national support from other agencies and industry. To facilitate such a major effort on a global scale, the Committee feels that significant resources, both in manpower and in finance, should be properly allocated to KEK. The success of the ILC program would put KEK and Japan in a world leading position in particle physics for years to come. " The full review can be found at: http://www.kek.jp/ja/About/OrganizationOverview/Assessment/Roadmap/roadmap2013-ReviewReport.pdf Sincerely, Norman Graf ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the LCD-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=LCD-L&A=1
