Validation made of the Letters of Intent

| 17 September 2009 (...) The conclusion is that the International Large Detector concept (ILD) and the Silicon Detector Design Study concept (SiD) are recommended for validation as complementary detectors to go on with detailed design and that the dual-readout calorimeter technology is encouraged to be further developed. -- By Sakue Yamada Category: Research Director's Report | Tagged: ,

Planning for the next steps

| 20 August 2009 (...) It is time for us to prepare for the next step, namely to consider what the validated detector groups need to accomplish through the following period, till 2012. Category: Research Director's Report | Tagged: ,

What’s going on in the Physics and Experiment Board meeting

| 19 February 2009 Since the LCWS08 meeting in Chicago, the management mechanism for the ILC detector activities is working in its full shape. The most important body for communication and decision making is the Physics and Experiment Board (PEB). It is composed of the representatives of the Letter of Intent (LOI) groups, the conveners of the common task groups and the Executive Board members. Category: Research Director's Report | Tagged: ,

Cautious optimism for US-university detector R&D funding

| 22 January 2009 Several recent positive developments are moving us forward on the path towards realising the ILC. These include excellent detector R&D results and significant progress on the Letters of Intent (LOI) for the various detector concepts. Category: Research Director's Report | Tagged: , ,
