Dear colleague,
this is to inform you that a mailing list for the
SiD Benchmarking group has been created, and to invite
you to subscribe to it. In order to do it, please
send an e-mail to [log in to unmask], with ONLY the
following included in the body of the message:
SUBSCRIBE sid-benchmarking <your full name>
Please find additional instructions on how to use
LISTSERV here:

As indicated in a previous e-mail, we are planning to
significantly ramp up the benchmarking effort within
the SiD concept, in order to most effectively face the
challenges of a Conceptual Design Report in the timescale
of about 1.5 years from now. As a reminder, please find
below the goals of this working group:
1) in conjunction with the detector subgroups, to develop a good
quantitative understanding of what performance each subsystem
must deliver to achieve the physics goals of the ILC;
2) to initiate physics analyses for a series of critical benchmark
measurements that document the overall physics performance of SiD,
and that can be used in the global optimization of the detector
design;
3) to incorporate in the physics analyses as realistic a description
of the SiD detector and background processes as possible, and to
upgrade analysis results to include full Monte Carlo simulations
as they become available.
The first step has been to establish a biweekly meeting,
with talks linked from the agenda server:

The next meeting will be on Oct 10, 2006 and will be
announced via the above mailing list.
A webpage with prioritized list of projects, information
on previous/ongoing studies, links to software tools, etc,
is being worked on.
We very much hope you will consider joining this effort.
Best regards,
Tim Barklow ([log in to unmask])
