World-Wide Review of R&D for Tracking and Muon Detection at the Linear Collider Conducted at the SLAC Linear Collider Workshop January 8, 2004
Review Schedule World-wide review of detector sub-system R&D instituted by international steering group in Fall 2002. First review of tracking and muon detection held in Amsterdam on March 31, 2003. Next international tracking/muon event: LCWS in Paris, April 19-23, 2004
LCWS Paris, April 2004 • Muons/Calorimetry • 7.5 hours of parallel sessions; 30 minute plenary summary. • Convened by 3 Cal experts and Marcello Piccolo • Tracking/Vertexing • 7.5 hours of parallel sessions; 30 minute plenary summary. • Convened by Marc Winter, Hwanbae Park, Dean Karlen, Bruce Schumm Parallel session organization beginning after this meeting
Overview of US Developments Proposals for 3-year R&D phase now being evaluated by US funding agencies (Department of Energy, National Science Foundation) Review is somewhat coordinated between separate proposals and funding agencies Rankings provided by US Linear Collider Steering Group (USLCSG) will guide agencies Decisions within month or two (?)
