I’m not sure
this has been discussed yet at Fermilab. I would be
interested in becoming a member of the consortium.

Membership in the SiD Consortium
Dear Colleague,
The Silicon Detector (SiD) is a
concept for an experiment at the future International Linear
Collider (ILC). Over the past decade many institutions and
individuals around the world have self-organized to prepare
a Letter of Intent (2009) and a Detector Baseline Document
(2013) as part of the ILC technical design report. So far
this highly successful effort has been on an informal basis.
As the ILC in Japan now progresses towards reality, SiD is
taking the next step along the path to forming an eventual
collaboration. We are setting up a “SiD Detector
Consortium”, which is designed to be a framework for
organizing the further detector and physics studies needed
to realize the SiD Technical Design Report.
The SiD Consortium is open and
receptive to new ideas to improve the detector design and
enhance its physics capabilities. We welcome the interest
and engagement of new interested individuals and institutes,
as well as those who have already been involved in and
contributed to SiD, in this next exciting phase.
We would like to invite you to
consider joining, individually or as a group, the SiD
Detector Consortium. Members of the SiD Detector Consortium
will have representation on the Institute Board and will
help shape SiD's future towards a full collaboration.
Membership in the consortium in not exclusive to other ILC
activities and does not involve singing Memoranda of
Understanding. We would be grateful if you could let us have
short statement of your proposed activities, and, where
applicable, a list of potential collaborators at your
institute. Please send to
[log in to unmask].
We propose to have the inaugural
meeting of the SiD Consortium Institute Board by phone
conference on:
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd
08.00 California time
10.00 Chicago time
11.00 New York time
16.00 UK time
17.00 Continental Europe
(CERN/DESY) time
00.00 Tokyo time
Each institute that has requested
membership of the SiD Consortium is invited to have one
representative participate in the meeting. Details of the
phone connection will be sent to each designated
representative.
DRAFT AGENDA
1.Welcome and introduction
2.Brief introduction from each
institute
3.Discussion of draft SiD
Consortium byelaws and procedures
4.Election of the IB Chair
5.AoB
Your participation and
contributions to the development of SiD will be most welcome
and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Marcel Stanitzki (DESY) and Andy
White (UTA) - SiD Spokespersons
Philip Burrows (Oxford) – Interim
Chair of the SiD Institute Board
