Silicon Detector Design Study Newsletter #2
March
2005
SiD Asian and
European Contacts
We are pleased to announce that Hiro Aihara and Yannis Karyotakis have agreed to
serve
as regional
contacts for the SiD Design Study in Asia and
We welcome their close collaboration in defining the study’s goals, planning our next
steps, recruiting more study participants, facilitating detector R&D, and serving as SiD
representatives
in Asia and
SiD R&D
Coordinator
We are also pleased that Andy White will serve as SiD R&D Coordinator. Andy will
work with the Detector Sub-Groups to understand the R&D required to realize the SiD
concept,
and help to document these needs for the Design Study and the broader community.
SiD Detector
Sub-Group Leaders
The Design Study is being organized around a set of detector sub-groups, which
will
take on responsibility
for addre
simulations,
reviewing po
to the conceptual designs, and working with each other to address overall detector
optimization.
We have a good start on finding leadership for the sub-groups, and are happy to
welcome
the following sub-group leaders to the
SiD Design Study efforts:
Benchmarking
Tim Barklow
Calorimetry
[log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask]
Costing
Marty Breidenbach
Simulation
Norman
Graf
Tracking
Marcel Demarteau and Rich Partridge
[log in to unmask];
[log in to unmask]
Vertexing
Su Dong
This process is
ongoing. We hope to provide two leaders for most of the groups,
create
some
international balance, and add working groups on the magnet, muon system, and
far
forward
calorimetry at least. Suggestions are welcome.
You are encouraged to
register your interests and po
group leaders
directly.
SiD Design Study
Meeting will be held March 17, 2005, just before
LCWS05.
If you are interested in learning about and participating in the SiD Design Study, plan to
attend our meeting on March 17, 2005. The meeting will be held at SLAC, in the Redwood
Room of the
Research Office Building (ROB). If you haven’t done so already, please sign up
