Introduction Discussion
ILC Positron System Design and RD Goals in
Support of the TDR
Challenge Detailed positron systems designs and
documentation are required for the ILC TDR by the
end of FY09. The goal of the research and
development for the ILC positron systems is to
learn enough about the component and subsystem
technical requirements such that the scope of the
resource requests in the TDR are adequate and not
excessive. Included in the RD list are key
enabling technologies. Detailed systems
integration, design, and engineering for
manufacture are not considered herein.
Fabrication of production prototypes is to be
done as part of the construction phase of the
project.

ILC Positron System Design and RD Goals in
Support of the TDR
Goal The goal of the Oxford ILC Positron
Systems Meeting is to facilitate the development
of the collaboration to design and carry out RD
in support of the ILC Positron System. It is
important to organize the international
activities so that the essential work for the TDR
is accomplished on a priority basis and to reduce
unnecessary duplication and activities not
relevant to the ILC e system requirements

ILC Positron System Design and RD Goals in
Support of the TDR
Proposal Turn our loose confederation of
interested participants into a fully functioning
and documented collaboration for the purpose of
doing the TDR and conducting the necessary RD in
support of the TDR. It is important that we as a
group take responsibility for our
activities. How Meet regularly and often have
an ILC Positron Collaboration Meeting three times
a year in rotation in Europe-Japan-America Why T
he other scheduled meetings (mainly GDE events)
are not enough. It is important that we as a
group take responsibility for our activities

Formal Proposal It is proposed that we meet
formally as a group 3 times per year to discuss
the status, progress, and plans for the various
positron system design and RD activities. The
location of the meetings will cycle thru the
three regions Europe-Japan-US at approximately 4
month intervals, starting with the UK in
September, 2006, Japan in February, 2007 and the
US in June, 2007, and repeating. The meetings
are typically 3 days long. The activities are
divided into 9 broad topics. A topic discussion
leader is named.

Organization The meeting chair will be named by
the ILC positron regional GDE representatives J.
Clarke, M. Kuriki , and J. Sheppard. The chair
does not actually need to be from the region.
Subsequent meeting chairs should be named by the
end of a current meeting. Similarly, the roster
of topic leaders should be affirmed at each
meeting. Topic leaders will write a short summary
for each meeting with an emphasis on
accomplishments and action items. The meeting
chair is responsible for collecting the topical
summaries and writing an overall summary of
progress and expected goals by the time of the
next meeting.

Format For each meeting, the meeting chair will
set an agenda to cover timely issues drawn from
the fixed list of topics. The meeting chair
should work with the topic leaders to decide
which topics to cover at a particular meeting.
Not all topics need be nor should be covered at
each meeting. It will be useful if all topics are
covered at least once during a calendar year
some topics will be covered more than once and
different aspects of a particular topic.

Topical Structure Categorize the activities into
9 Topics. Each Topic has a named Discussion
Leader who is responsible to organize the
discussions (for their Topic) for the
Collaboration Meetings. Topical Discussion
Each activity should be introduced as to its
purpose its contribution to e production the
technical feasibility and need for design,
simulation, rd, and prototyping. The present
status of each activity should be discussed
including the availability of resources (people
and funding), milestones, schedules, and
impediments.

Discussion Every thing is open for discussion
format, discussion leaders, topics, organization,
schedule, ILC Will have a session on Friday to
discuss how this meeting has gone what changes
are required what went well what is clearly not
working. I think that it will take about 3
meetings (1 year ) to settle out on this process
