1. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off The Si licon D etector Design Study SiD Organization & Status H.Weerts Fermilab/Michigan State Univ. SiD kick off meeting at ACFA-7 meeting Taipei, Taiwan Nov 9-12, 2004

2. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off SiD kick-off meeting agenda Agenda  Intro Harry Weerts  Critical Questions for SiD Jim Brau  Simulation status Norman Graf  Goals/Organization Harry Weerts  Discussion/Interest? All Other talks at ACFA-7 earlier today: -The Sid Concept by John Jaros

3. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off Goals for SiD Design Study from Develop an integrated detector design well- matched to LC physics at.5 and 1 TeV, starting from the SiD Detector Concept.  Generate a realistic picture of detectors, supports, readout, and services for each subdetector technology.  Optimize overall detector physics performance for benchmark reactions, constrained by rational cost.  Define the R&D needed to prove the design concept.  Estimate detector costs in time for the Machine CDR.  Write a CDR describing the design and its expected physics performance. Refine costs estimates in time for the Machine TDR.

4. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off Goals and time line--draft Goal: Benchmarks physics ( agree with other designs) Conceptual design  CDR Cost estimate ( need guidelines & standards) Show technical feasibility of subsystems Define necessary R&D WWS Fall 2004 – Summer 2005: Design Studies agree on common assumptions Optimize design Make design realistic ( necessary support, etc.) Establish simulation ( common with all others ?) Performance/Response to benchmark processes August 2005, Int. Lin. Coll. Wrkshp at Snowmass Agree on strawman design Start final series of benchmark and simulations Define work needed to complete by end 2005 Hadr. Showers Algorithms

6. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off Draft Organization of SiD Obvious: center of gravity in US, and at SLAC & Fermilab, however this IS a global effort and we would like to see active participation from all regions of the world. Wan to reflect this in organization. Suggestions welcome….

7. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off More Organization There is a SiD website: www-sid.slac.stanford.edu On this Web site you will find: Talks/presentations on SiD SiD Hypernews discussion forum Sign up for interested parties

8. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off Meetings now & future Weekly/bi-weekly ( phone/video): Tracking meetings every week on Friday morning; now more emphasis on SiD tracker layout and design Monthly solenoid meetings Bi weekly calorimeter meetings will start in Dec. 2004 Start other “subsystem” meetings soon Subsystem leader meeting in Jan/Feb 2005 March 17, 2005 ( Day before LCWS2005 at SLAC): One Day SiD Meeting March 14-16 CALICE at NIU/FNAL …….. More to be defined August ILCWS 2005 @ Snowmass Big opportunity for SiD collaborative effort

9. ACFA-7; Taipei, Nov 2004 H.Weerts Kick-off Summary Why are we here ? Invite your participation in the SiD Design Study We have a starting point for the SiD Design Study, but the end result will depend very much on input from participants all around the globe over the next year and beyond
