ILC Detectors: more news since last IDAG meeting
Research Director’s Report17 June 2010 Sakue Yamada ILC Detectors: more news since last IDAG meetingWe have gained several helpful inputs from the new system of the International Detector Advisory Group (IDAG) monitoring global detectors after the validation. The IDAG report after the Beijing meeting suggests several new measures. Even during the discussion, we already received […]

New moves for the physics and detector activity
Research Director’s Report 15 April 2010 Sakue Yamada New moves for the physics and detector activity A joint international linear collider workshop, LCWS10 and ILC10, held in Beijing last month, initiated various new moves for the physics and detector activity of ILC. While we often make phone-conferences, such a meeting is valuable so that everybody […]
Uniting machine and detectors
Research Director’s Report 18 March 2010 Hitoshi Yamamoto Uniting machine and detectors“Beijing will be a forum for discussions between the accelerator and the physics and detector community” This month’s Research Director’s Report was written by Hitoshi Yamamoto, co-chair of the World Wide Study and regional detector contact for Asia.A joint international linear collider workshop, LCWS10 […]
Detector groups work out their work plans
Research Director’s Report 18 February 2010 Sakue Yamada Detector groups work out their work plans In my report of last December, I wrote about detector activities in the new phase after validation. One of them was the effort of the two detector groups, ILD and SiD, to make the work plans towards their detailed baseline […]
Optimising the value of the ILC
Research Director’s Report21 January 2010 Jim Brau Optimising the value of the ILCThis month’s Research Director’s Report was written by Jim Brau, co-chair of the Worldwide Study and regional detector contact for the Americas. Several years ago (in 2003), the parameters for the linear collider were defined by the ILCSC Parameters Committee chaired by Rolf […]
Detector activities in the new stage
Research Director’s Report17 December 2009 Sakue Yamada Detector activities in the new stageThe physics and detector activity for the ILC entered into a new stage after the validation of the Letters of Intent (LOIs) and following discussions during the American Linear Collider Physics Group (ALCPG) workshop in Albuquerque, US. Close to the turn of the […]
