ILC-HIGRADE

Six institutions have come together for the project: DESY (Germany), CEA (France), CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), CNRS/IN2P3 (France), INFN (Italy) and Oxford University (United Kingdom). They bundle the leading expertise in Europe in accelerator development and superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF). ILC-HiGrade builds on the experience European partners are gaining with the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) (www.xfel.eu), which uses the same accelerating technology. The consortium also makes optimum use of the existing infrastructures in Europe, including the test infrastructures in place at DESY for the future XFEL and a high-tech laboratory (Supratech) of CNRS and CEA at Orsay and Saclay, France
