This is a version of the Large Detector modelled as of Oct. 1, 2005. The compact description of this detector in xml format can be found at http://www.lcsim.org/detectors/ld3.1-oct05.zip . What follows is a plain text description of the file compact.xml found in this zip file.

The tracking region is defined to be a cylinder with radius 175. cm and z extent +/- 282. cm.

Beampipe:
--------

Vertex Detector:
---------------
The vertex detector is composed of a central barrel system with five layers.

The first barrel layer is 10 cm long and the rest are 25. cm long, and are composed of 0.028 cm Beryllium and a .0005 cm Silicon slice which is sensitive.
The inner radii of the layers are:

1.55, 2.7, 3.8, 4.9, 6.0

Tracker:
-------
The intermediate tracker is composed of two barrels composed of 0.05616 cm of silicon.
The inner radii and z extent of the two barrel layers are:

The small angle endcap tracker is composed of 5 double sided disks with sensitive slices of 0.03 cm silicon.

The central TPC tracker consists of a 250 cm long, 161.8 cm radius sensitive volume filled with P10 gas.
The inner and outer carbon-fiber field cages are at radii of 32. and 161.8 cm.

The forward TPC endcap tracker consists of a double-sided disk with sensitive slices of 0.03 cm silicon at
z = 279 cm with inner and outer radii of 26 and 185 cm.

follow by 10 additional layers with 0.5 cm Tungsten.

The z extent of the barrel cylinder is +/- 275 cm.
The endcap starts at an inner radius of 26 cm and extends out to 185 cm.

Hadron calorimeter:
------------------
The hadron calorimeter is a W scintillator sampling calorimeter composed of 50 layers of

The barrel inner radius is 195 cm with a z extent of +/- 275 cm.
The endcap extends from an inner radius of 26 cm to an outer radius of 260 cm.

Solenoid:
--------
The solenoid is modelled as a cylinder with an inner radius of 250cm. This is larger than the outer radius of the hadron calorimeter since we will not be building a cylindrical detector, but a polygonal one (current thinking is octagonal). The barrel composition is as follows:

This is capped with disk endplates of 6cm steel from r=294.5 cm to 339.8 cm.

Muon System:

PyrexGlass

0.11 cm

RPCGas

0.12 cm

PyrexGlass

The barrel inner radius is 380 cm with z extent of +/- 375 cm.
The endcap sits outside the barrel at an inner z of 380 cm and radius from 26 cm to 690 cm.

The field is solenoidal, constant 4 Tesla along z up to half the coil thickness and -0.6 outside.

Masks and far forward detectors remain to be implemented.
