WWS and CLIC• Discussion on cooperation between ILC and
CLIC detector groups– February meeting at CERN– Participation and talk at SiD Workshop - April– Participation and talk at ECFA08 next week
• 3 LoI groups have chosen contacts to CLIC• WWS tools valuable to CLIC studies• CERN engineering to support LoIs• Studies on higher energy helpful to ILC
groups

ECFA Workshop, Warsaw• > 170 registrants• Opening session includes
– Barry on “Path Forward” and “Critical Points of Contact Between GDE and P&D”
– Rolf on a “European Vision”– Sakue on the “New Organization”
• First meeting of IDAG– Plenary presentations by LoI groups– Closed discussions with each group
• Detector Performance– Including CLIC
• LHC-ILC Strategy to be discussed in plenary

LCWS2008
• Conveners being nominated, to be recruited soon

Funding Challenges in US and UK
• UK – recovery for detector effort more difficult than for
machine– go generic - connect to CLIC work
• US– Uncertainty in DOE/NSF response to P5
• HEPAP approved P5 recommendation of more funding for detector R&D• both DOE and NSF are considering the report
– Generic aspects of detector R&D important– Engineering support for LoIs currently restricted – LoI process requires strong lab (Fermilab/SLAC)
participation - uncertain, difficult in current climate

P5 Report• The panel recommends for the near future a broad accelerator
and detector R&D program for lepton colliders that includes continued R&D on ILC at roughly the proposed FY2009 level in support of the international effort. This will ensure a significant role for the US even if the ILC is built overseas. The panel also recommends R&D for alternative accelerator technologies, to permit an informed choice when the lepton collider energy is established.
• The panel also recommends an R&D program for detector technologies to support a major US role in preparing for physics at a lepton collider.
Approved by HEPAP, May 29, 2008

Role of WWS in RD Era
• Many WWS activities are being transferred to RD– eg. Roadmap planning, MDI studies, Detector R&D
coordination, etc.– WWS co-chairs are serving as initial RD regional
contacts
• WWS is the community (like user group)• WWS should
– Cooperate with RD– Organize workshops
• WWS is evolving into new role

Conclusion
• LoI groups are hard at work developing integrated detector designs in support of the GDE machine design effort– Demonstrate realistic detector performance– Address machine detector interface issues
• Uncertainty regarding long term impact of funding cuts in UK and US
