  1. A Final Word MDI @ ILCJan 8th, 2005 Eric Torrence University of Oregon

  2. Words of Thanks • To the attendees, who made it on short notice • To the session organizers • To the local organizing committee Markiewicz, Seryi, Woods • Naomi Nagahashi

  3. Purpose of MDI Machine Detector Physics Complicated Optimization with many parameters Need to expand knowledge beyond one particular box

  4. Current MDI Goals • Identify hard constraints • Understand comparative advantage of parameter variations • Work towards complete conceptual design • Do not try to prejudge the final design

  5. Strawman BDIR • Need more than quick studies • Must start designing something concrete to understand consequences of certain decisions • Two angles needed to explore parameter range

  6. Design Progress • Significant progress in last six months • Real progress on strawman since KEK

  7. Physics/Detector Communication • Maintain contact with detector/physics groups • Important part of optimization process • Detailed studies often slow • Communication at various levels • Reports at detector concept meetings • LCWS • Directly with WG conveners • Regional subsystem meetings Propose specific questions, tasks

  8. MDI Communication • Real work is done locally • Important to establish good inter-regional communication • Workshops only go so far • Strongly support some mailing list/forum/hypernews communication channel

  9. Testbeams • Some questions only answered with data • Long lead times - must identify early • Limited resources and facilities Try to coordinate globally Ex: ESA energy program, BPMs at ATF, Forward Detectors, …

  10. Timeline 1st ILCMeeting MDI Workshop LCWS BDIR Workshop Snowmass You AreHere • LCWS - 18-22 March, Stanford • BDIR Workshop (WG4) - 20-23 June, RHUL • Snowmass - 13-27 August, Colorado “CDR” by end of the year?We must be ready for that possibility

  11. Goals from Snowmass • Conceptual design largely complete • Matrix of parameters and relative merits/impacts filled in • Identify (few) remaining questions to answer by end of 2005 • Tie up loose ends before CDR

  12. In Conclusion • Good progress toward conceptual design • MDI needs to maintain good communication as designs (machine and detector) become more concrete • Lets get back to work…
