ILC Reference Design

• 11km SC linacs operating at 31.5 MV/m for 500 GeV
• Centralized injector
• Circular damping rings for electrons and
  positrons
• Undulator-based positron source
• Single IR with 14 mrad crossing angle
• Dual tunnel configuration for safety and
  availability

EDR definition

• Goal The primary goal of GDE activities will be
  to advance
• the technology,
• the design and
• the construction plans
• so that approval for construction can be sought
  in 2010.
• EDR will
• explain the capabilities of the technology at
  that time,
• detail the design of the machine and the
  construction plans, and
• will present an updated value estimate.

Nice, but what about Orbach?
Completing the RD and engineering design,
negotiating an international structure, selecting
a site, obtaining firm financial commitments, and
building a machine could take us well into the
mid-2020s, if not later,

• Our technically driven time-scale is
• Construction proposal in 2010
• Construction start in 2012
• Construction complete in 2019

Detector Concepts
15
Detector Concepts Report (DCR)

• Editors Behnke, Damerell, Jaros, Miyamoto
• Make the case that detectors can do the ILC
  physics
• Show detector designs are within our reach
• Show where we are in detector developments and
  where we are going
• NOT a complete description of any detector
• NOT a comparison of ILC Detector Concepts

16
Contents of DCR

• Challenges for Detector Design and Technology
• Detector Concepts
• Machine Detector Interface
• Subsystem Design and Technologies
• Sub Detector Performance
• Integrated Physics Performance
• The Case for two Detectors
• Costs
• Options

ILC Detector Strategy

• The interaction region (IR) should allow for two
  experiments .. the two experiments could share
  a common IR, provided that the detector
  changeover can be accomplished in approximately 1
  week. (ILCSC Parameters Group)
• Calls for Letters of Intent expected soon
• - to be submitted September (?) 2008
• Two concepts expected to be selected to be
  carried forward for EDR on similar timescale as
  machine 2010
• Research Director for physics/detectors TBA

18
Ch. 8 The case for two Detectors

• Competing, cross checking of results, scientific
  redundancy for precision measurements. gt1
  analysis teams for 1 detector does not create the
  needed level of competition and redundancy.
• The collider luminosity is split, but the
  scientific productivity would be significantly
  increased
• Maximal participation of the global particle
  physics community. One detector will not satisfy
  the interest
• Ensures the backup if one detector need
  significant down time
• Numerous historical examples where complementary
  experiments were critical
• a lots more reasons are listed and emphasized

19
UK Strategy (1)

• UK has made strategic investments in detector
  RD
• LCFI
• CALICE-UK
• Internationally recognised
• Put UK in strong position
• Need to optimise alignment with international
  situation
• expected call from WWS for detector concept
  LoIs
• (Autumn 2008)

20
UK Strategy (2)

• LCUK collaboration meeting RHUL 13/4/07
• UK should aim to take leading positions in TWO
  of the
• current detector concepts
• (GLD LDC agreed to merge!)
• Contact persons Mark Thomson (GLDC)
• Philip Burrows (SiD)
• explore opportunities coordinate UK
  involvement
• (UK leadership of key systems based on technical
  strengths)
