2/9/04 1 International LC-TPC R&D US – Japan – Europe LC-TPC R&D coordination: Takeshi Matsuda KEK Mike Ronan LBNL Ron Settles DESY/MPI Organize international LC-TPC R&D meetings, e.g. Jan Carleton- following American LC Chicago meeting Sep KEK- following International LCWS meeting at Jeju Is., Korea Oct LBNL- following Berkeley TPC Symposium Apr Paris- before International LCWS in Paris American Large TPC Detector Layed out conceptual design and wrote LCD reconstruction software. Studied physics performance and LC background sensitivity. TESLA-TPC Contributed to TPC design in TESLA TDR. Member of European LC-TPC R&D Steering Committee. Ongoing LC-TPC R&D Collaborations: Micromegas-based TPC R&D (Berkeley, Orsay & Saclay) GEM-based TPC R&D (Berkeley, CERN, Karlsruhe & MPI) TPC DAQ and Analysis software (Berkeley, Carleton, Montreal & Victoria) TPC Simulation software (Berkeley, Cornell, SLAC & Victoria) US-Japan LC-TPC R&D (Berkeley, KEK, MPI & Tokyo)
