Dear colleague,
INVITATION TO NOMINATE CONTACTPERSONS FOR THE "LDC" CONCEPT
At the workshop near Paris from 13-15 January (see
http://polywww.in2p3.fr/actualites/congres/ilcd2005/ for programme and
links to talks) it was agreed to set up an interregional team to study and
prepare the concept of a detector with gaseous tracking for the
International Linear Collider. The working name of this concept is "LDC",
to distinguish it from the "SiD" and "GLD" concept teams which are also
getting started now. The opening talk of the workshop explains the
context of this request in the plans for the Global Design Effort for the
ILC.
The LDC concept team will be led initially by 6 contactpersons, two from
each region. If you are interested in joining this concept study we
invite you to suggest names for the contactpersons. Those present
at the workshop asked a consultative group (email addresses below) to
receive your nominations and choose the contactpersons, paying attention
to the need for a balance between expertise in the various sub-detector
technologies which will be involved (TPC, microvertex, calorimetry,
forward region, muon identification etc.) We expect that many of
the contactpersons will be actively involved in ongoing sub-detector R&D
programmes.
Please send your nominations (including email address of each nominee, and
details of their current detector R&D involvement) by 11 February to the
consultative group:
Rolf Heuer <[log in to unmask]>,
Jim Brau <[log in to unmask]>,
Sachio Komamiya <[log in to unmask]>,
"Yamamoto, Hitoshi -- Hitoshi Yamamoto" <[log in to unmask]>,
Hitoshi Yamamoto <[log in to unmask]>,
Mark Oreglia <[log in to unmask]>
David Miller <[log in to unmask]>
We need to have the contactpersons in place and ready to speak for LDC
before LCWS at Stanford 18-22 March.
Yours ever
Ties, Hitoshi, Andy, Marco, Henri, David
(on behalf of the workshop participants)
