Dear Colleague,
The International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) announces a call for Letters of Intent (LOIs) to produce reference designs for the two ILC detectors. These designs will be detailed in two Engineering Design Reports (EDRs) to be completed on the timeline of the machine EDR being prepared by the Global Design Effort.
The guidelines for the LOIs are presented in the appended document and a public presentation of the WWS roadmap for detectors can be found in the LCWS07 web site. The LOIs should be sent to the ILCSC by October 1, 2008 and will be reviewed by an advisory body appointed with the approval of ILCSC. This body, together with a management team led by the Research Director Sakue Yamada who has been appointed by ILCSC, will start a process leading to the formation of two groups capable of preparing the two engineering designs and the EDR documents.
Sincerely Yours,
Shin-ichi Kurokawa
Chairman of the International Linear Collider Steering Committee
