There are now four proposed detector designs for the ILC which each having an outline document. These are the Silicon Detector (SiD), Large Detector Concept (LDC), GLD, and the "Fourth Concept".
- SiD (American origin)
- Silicon tracker, 5T field
- SiW ECAL
- 4 'coordinators' (2 Americans, 1 Asian, 1 European)
- LDC (European origin)
- TPC (+Silicon IT), 4T field
- SiW ECAL ("medium" radius)
- 6 'contact persons': (2 Americans, 2 Asians, 2 Europeans)
- GLD (Asian origin)
- TPC (+Large Silicon IT), 3T field
- W/Scintillator ECAL ("large" radius)
- 6 'contact persons': (2 Americans, 2 Asians, 2 Europeans)

What is the SiD?
From the SiD homepage, "The Silicon Detector Design Study is being organized to develop the SiD Detector Concept into a detailed, optimized, and fully integrated detector design on a roughly one year time scale. The SiD concept incorporates Si/W calorimetry and Si tracking in a Linear Collider detector design which attempts to optimize physics performance while realistically constraining costs."
