SiD optimisation group moves towards new detector model after PNNL meeting

by Jan Strube, PNNL

SiD, one of the two planned detectors for the ILC, decided at the end of last year to change their simulation and reconstruction framework. At a recent meeting at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the US the optimisation group got their heads round simulations, detector and physics studies in the new software framework. This is an important step towards SiD's technical design report.

Director's Corner

Forming a new plan for R&D

by Lyn Evans

First bilateral discussions between the Japanese and US administrations have led to a new emphasis in accelerator R&D for the linear collider that is both good and bad, Lyn Evans says. More bilateral discussions between Japan and European and Asian countries will follow. In the meantime, the community will lay down plans for SCRF research for the next two to three years during a dedicated workshop-in-a-workshop in December. Evans, current Director of the Linear Collider Community, hopes for great turnout.

LIGO前负责人：中国空间引力波探测赶超欧美不难

除了LIGO前负责人外，Barry Barish还曾经担任国际直线对撞机（International Linear Collider, ILC）的全球设计团队负责人。拟议中的国际直线对撞机是一台超高能量的正负电子对撞机，精度超过大型强子对撞机（LHC），是一个大规模国际合作计划项目，美国、欧洲和日本都在积极争取成为该项目的落户地。（In addition to the former head of LIGO, Barry Barish also served as the International Linear Collider (International Linear Collider, ILC), the global design team leader. The proposed International Linear Collider is an ultra-high-energy electron-positron collider that outperforms the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and is a large-scale international cooperative program with projects in the United States, Europe and Japan. And actively strive to become the project settled.)
