1. Plans for Software 4th Concept Collaboration Meeting FNAL 19-20 October 2006

2. General Issues Two time frames to consider: –Short haul –Long haul Collaborative Effort Funding Issues

3. The Very Short Haul Valencia Meeting (two weeks) Complete tracking in VXD Barrel + TPC No digitization for VXD nor TPC No muon reconstruction Physics studies to present: –e + e - -> Z o -> uds (simple jet-finder) –e + e - -> H o Z o -> X  +  - (tracking resolution) –e + e - -> tt -> 6 jets (tracking performance) –Single particles: e +, , ,p,K short, single jets –Beam background studies (in cooperation with SiD)

4. The Semi- Short Haul DCR (Dec. 10th or Jan. 2007 ?) Complete tracking in VXD Endcaps Digitization for VXD (should pick up one of the technology) Some muon reconstruction Physics studies to present: –More sofisticated jet-finder (Durham, Kt) –e + e - -> H o Z o -> 2 jets, 4 jets –Hopefully c,b separation in jets

5. The Long Haul LCIO conformance Collaboration with Fermilab –4 peoples now for 1 month –D. Barbareschi for 5 months next year –More going on next year Many thanks to Marcel for making it happen

6. LCIO vs MONARC MC Generation  Energy Deposits in Detector Digitization  Tracker Hits Track Finding  Tracks Track Fitting  Track Parameters MC Generation  Energy Deposits in Detector SDigitization  Detector response from single particle Digitization  Detector response combined Pattern Recognition  Recpoints Track Finding  Tracks Track Fitting  Track Parameters

7. Established Benchmark Processes

8. e + e - -> W + W - -> Xqq

9. Present Analyses e + e - -> Z o H o -> qqbb M jj only (no stress on VXD) e + e - -> W + W - -> qqqq M jj only (bkg only) We Need e + e - -> Z o H o -> qqqq  BR) for individual flavor  reconstruction

10. About muons Muon resolution in MUD very good (Bangalore) However, need to test muon reconstruction in jets (C. Milstene)
