The Town Meeting had criticised the figure which showed
responsibilities within the GDI, but not working arrangements.
ILCSC accepted that we should learn “from the ILC1
experience, the latter should follow the Working Group
structure, and cut across the geographical responsibility
boundaries shown in the figure”.

On 16 November at KEK, the WWS-OC reported that, in
its role as physics and detectors sub committee
it would :
a) Recognize studies being made of whole-detector concepts, and coordinate the presentation of their performance studies and their
cost estimates, on timescales set by ILCSC. The WWSOC will work
toward interregional, and multiple, studies, leading eventually to
detector technical design reports (TDRs);
b) Co-ordinate with the Central Team set up by Global Design
Initiative for the accelerator, especially on questions of detector
cost, beam delivery, accelerator issues impacting the experimental
physics program, and the machine detector interface;
continued………

c) Keep a register of those detector, accelerator design, and
machine-detector interface R&D activities which are relevant
to the Linear Collider experimental physics program.
d) Identify R&D activities which are vital to the Linear Collider
experimental physics program, especially those which are
lacking effort.
e) Report on all of these matters, and others assigned, to the
ILCSC.
WWS will continue to organise worldwide workshops (LCWS)
on Physics and Detectors for the ILC, and support
regional and specialist workshops and meetings.
[Expect a regional OR an LCWS workshop in each region per year]

Teams forming bottom-up. So far:
1. SiD; all-silicon tracking, high B
SLAC+FNAL working together; inviting European
and Asian participants.
2. “GLD”; Large volume gaseous tracker with lower B
starting from JLC/GLC detector; inviting American
and European participants.
3. ex-TESLA and ex N.American “Large”
first get together 13-15 January 2005;
+video links to SiD and “GLD” to discuss benchmarks
and common tools.
Sub-detector R&D teams encouraged to contribute to more
than one concept; e.g. TPC development, vertex detectors, etc. etc.

Note: All timelines are based on the GDI proposal on the web.
They will change to fit Central Team plans.
Step 1. Form panels (see below)
Step 2. To match accelerator CDR (2005 0r 2006?)
Single preliminary costing and performance paper
for all concepts.
Concept
teams.
(overlapped
membership)
Step 3. To match accelerator TDR (2007?)
Detector CDRs with performance on benchmarks, technical
feasibility, refined costs etc. Received by WWSOC
Step 4. When Global Lab. is formed (2008?)
L.O.I.s for Experiments. Global Lab. invites TDRs.
Step 5. Global Lab. + 1 year (2009?)
G.L. receives TDRs and selects experiments.

Collaborations
(competitive)

Working Panels
Detector R&D, will start before LCWS
Concept costing and support (still debating)
Machine-Detector Interface Panel
Liaise with GDE to co-ordinate MDI between
accelerator, detector R&D and concept teams.
Identify BDIR issues needing R&D.
(Existing ad hoc group of Tauchi, Woods and Bambade
already working in this direction, planned MDI workshop for Jan 05.
Hope to incorporate them as a panel jointly with GDE – after plans clarify.
Will be needed until Global Lab. forms)
