and nearly twenty physicists from IHEP participated.

The aims of this meeting are to review the progress of the IHEP-KEK collaboration on 1.3-GHz superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology, to promote the future collaboration on ILC superconducting linac, and to be better prepared for the formal construction of the ILC project through international collaboration.

During the meeting, experts from KEK and IHEP gave ten talks to review the progress on the1.3-GHz SRF technology collaboration and proposed the next collaboration plan. The ILC group at IHEP participated in the R&D of TESLA-like 1.3-GHz nine-cell superconducting cavities with KEK. In the meeting, both sides exchanged ideas on the R&D problems of the key components and discussed the arrangement for the test of the IHEP 1.3-GHz high-power input coupler and TESLA-like nine-cell cavities at KEK this year. Scientists achieved consensus on future cooperation on ILC SRF technology and promotion of the industrialisation of the 1.3-GHz nine-cell cavities and cryostat.

The meeting was co-chaired by Jie Gao, member of the future Linear Collider Board, chair of the Asian Linear Collider Steering Committee and chief scientist of the ILC group at IHEP, and Kaoru Yokoya, member of the ILC steering committee and the Asian regional director of the GDE.
