@ Future Plans for SiD & Opportunities for collaboration H.Weerts Argonne National Lab

SiD in France, 11 Feb 2008 H.Weerts 2 Short term and mid term goals for SiD Create a LOI ( or whatever it will be called) and submit to Research Director (RD) Interact with RD and communicate clear intention to submit LOI Become a “validated” LOI Hard to see beyond this, because it is not clear. Even “validation” meaning is not quite clear However: It is necessary to be “validated”, because it will be required for any future steps for SID Last months have been sobering The case for a Linear Collider remains strong. Science has not changed. Funding situation in UK & US especially towards ILC SiD keeps making progress Goals:

SiD in France, 11 Feb 2008 H.Weerts 8 Opportunities (incomplete list) Tracking –VTD technology –Optimize Si tracking ( layers, ++) –Forward System Calorimetry –Choice of HCAL technology requires study, PFA evaluation. Overall Optimization: Inner Radius Depth and Length? B field? –Forward systems challenging Muon –Technology? –# Layers? (Boost HCAL ) Solenoid challenging Simulation & algorithmic tools –Tremendous effort and many tools are in place)  Detector studies and MC benchmarking should be pursued! Overall integration studies needed
