• Introduction• Call for LOI & mechanism of selection• IDAG• Benchmarks• Common tasks

World wide interests in physics to be opened by ILCparticularly for, e.g.

Higgs/SUSY search & investigation.ILC is expected to allow clear and precise

studies on them, which are complementary to those attainable at pp colliders.

Introduction

大唐三蔵聖教

序太宗文皇帝製

蓋聞二儀有像顕覆載以含生

四時無形潜寒暑以化物

是以窺天鑑地庸愚皆識其端

明陰洞陽賢哲罕窮其数

然而天地苞乎陰陽而易識者

以其有像也陰陽処乎天地

而難窮者以其無形也

故知像顕可徴雖愚不惑

形潜莫観在知猶迷

The Preface of Sanzo’s Holy Text Collection

It is said Nature has shape. The sky covers the world and the ground make things change. The four seasons, although unobservable in shape, let things grow and develop. Watching the sky and the earth, everybody can see this and knows the universe partly. But even for the cleverest it is not easy to recognize the deepest law of the universe, In-Yao. The universe, controlled by In-Yao, can be observed when it shows up in shape. In-Yao, although filling the universe, is hard to recognize since it does not show up itself.Higgs particle ? Dark energy? Okun’s talk at LP77

ILC allows to make a clean scientific approach to such an idea.

Plenty of physics/detector studies

Long efforts have been continued on physics at ILCand R&D of detector for itover the world.

They were based on free thoughts and approaches. Communication and cooperation realizedin the framework of WWSthrough Workshops, Reviews

Outputs were crystallized into 4 detector concepts

GLD LDC

SiD 4th-Concept

Reference Design Report by GDE

• These concepts are summarized in RDR vol. 3 under the leadership of GDE and

with joint effort of WWS.

Authors: 1800 Institutions: 325 over the world ( Asia: 85 )

Now GDE moves toward the Engineering Design of ILC,which will be conducted with a well defined organization of GDE.

Parameters regarding machine-detector interface need to be fixed through close interaction between machine and detector teams.

Detector groups should also be well organized to meet this development.

ILCSC invented a new step.

Through a Call for Letter-of-Intents,Two groups will be selected to proceed to EDR phase. With this procedure it is hoped that detector groups also be organized to meet the requirement of coordinated contact with the accelerator team.

This selection is not for construction. Room is left for a new development when ILC is realized.

Call for Letter-of-Intents and Mechanism for Selection

Creation of Research Director Responsible for the development of experimental programs appointed by and report to ILCSC

CHARGES:

1) devise procedure to result in 2 detector designs that are capable of completing detector EDRs,2) Helping detector groups to secure resources 3) Endorsing major technical decisions by the collaborations4) Guiding the global detector R&D activities5) Promoting the ILC project together with ILCSC and GDE.Close cooperation and communication with GDE are essential. Through and after the selection of 2 groups, a good link with the accelerator partner should be maintained toward EDR preparation.

Two Actions to be taken (given in the charge)• Form a management structure to execute these

tasks• Appoint International Detector Advisory Group (membership to be approved by ILCSC) 1. IDAG advises RD on experimental program issues2. IDAG makes recommendations on the choice of 2 groups for EDR effort

The entire structure is virtual but the process must produce concrete output, i.e. EDR for realistic detectors which are capable to perform desired physics.

Present status

Planning works have been started with a transient structure. Close collaboration with WWS, which is representing detector community RD and WWS-co-chairs are working together.

Supports are extended by GDE, which are valuable and appreciated. GDE already has experience, working mechanism and tools, from which we benefit and learn. Having a similar/corresponding structure may be effective for good communication.

IDAG• Candidate names are being consulted in each region. Experienced HEP physicists, Detector/soft ware experts, ILC-

accelerator experts, Phenomenology theorists (mainly from out of ilc-community)• Members to be approved by ILCSC by end of the year• Hopefully IDAG starts joining WWS meetings from the next

Spring, first to become well informed. IDAG scrutinizes the LOIs and recommends two of them,

which are complimentary, to go on to the EDR stage. Physics performance, feasibility, cost, safety Certain flexibility will be left compared to usual PAC

at the existing accelerators.

LOI groups• LOI groups are known only after they submit LOIs. • Temporary solution: we meet with Concept

representatives instead of LOI groups. (E.g. On the benchmarks.)

• We wish to identify possible LOI groups soon with some conditions of screening. e.g. enough human resources

to participate in common tasks which will be carried across LOI groups,

to work on the given benchmarks and to prepare LOIs.

Benchmarks• Crucial reactions studied by WWS physics working

group, (Hep-ex/0603010v1).• Certain reactions are listed to be most crucial among

them ; e.g. e⁺e⁻ → Z ⁰ H⁰ → l ⁺ l ⁻ X e⁺e⁻ → Z ⁰ H⁰, H⁰ → CC, τ ⁺ τ ⁻,WW* e⁺e⁻ → SUSY pairs like slelectron or stau

The performance of the detector for these interactions is to be shown in LOIs under a set of common conditions.

Common tasks• LOI groups are expected to work together on

important tasks common to all LOI groups. 1. Communicate/collaborate with accelerator effort 2. Organize Workshops to exchange information3. Coordinate R&D efforts if needed4. Prepare standard tools 5. Look for a solution to a common challenge (e.g. Push-pull mechanism)

The targets/number of tasks will vary in time.

Works have been done by WWS panels for some issues. Transfer/reorganize these activities or collaborate

with them

Cooperation among LOI groups in the common tasks will be VERY important.

Some reorganization of the LOI groups may happen during the preparation or after the selection process.

Present groups are still temporal.

Summary• A new step was made by ILSCS to promote and organize

the detector activities to meet with the advancement of GDE, which goes into EDR phase.

• LOIs have been called for with the due date Oct.1,2008. • Two LOIs will be selected, with a suggestion of IDAG,

which will go on to the EDR stage (but not to real construction).

• Besides competition, cooperation is expected across LOI groups for common tasks. Through the cooperation process new ideas/groups may come up when ILC really starts.

• A mechanism is being considered which hopefully allow the experimental community to work for such ends.
