On behalf of François Le Diberder, chair of the international committee in charge of drafting the Linear Collider report ------- Dear Colleagues, As you know, the update of the 2006 European strategy for particle physics was launched during EPS-HEP 2011 conference. The European Strategy covers the European participation in particle physics projects in Europe and beyond Europe. An international committee has been established to prepare input from the linear collider community. On May 16, a town hall meeting will take place in Paris for the whole Particle Physics community to express its view to the committee: the discussions at this meeting, that aims to gather the community at large, will be timely in view of preparations for the European Strategy Update. The international committee is requested to review the physics case for a linear electron-positron collider in the centre-of-mass energy range from around 250 GeV - 3 TeV in the light of the Large Hadron Collider results up to mid-2012 and building on previous studies. The committee should consider the case for a linear collider in terms of the physics reach beyond that of the LHC under the assumptions in the current CERN planning: a) 300 fb-1 and b) 3000 fb-1. It should assume linear collider performance based on the details contained in current documents from ILC and CLIC but without a detailed comparison of the relative performance of the machines. The aim is to make the strongest possible case for a generic linear collider for submission to the European Strategy process. The committee is requested to submit its draft report to the ILC Global Design Effort European Regional Director (Brian Foster), the CERN Linear Collider Studies Leader (Steinar Stapnes) and the chair of the ECFA Study for the Linear Collider (Juan Fuster) by June 18, 2012. The final version of the report should be delivered to the European Strategy Group by the end of July 2012, as an input for the Cracow Open Symposium. Participation to the town hall meeting is free. Registration and further information: http://events.lal.in2p3.fr/conferences/Town-Hall-Meeting/index.html We are looking forward to wide participation of the particle physics community. Please don't hesitate to forward this information to your colleagues. Best regards, François Le Diberder, chair of the international committee in charge of drafting the Linear Collider report ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the LCD-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=LCD-L&A=1
