Introduction
The physics performance of the Silicon Detector (SiD) concept is studied using a GEANT4-based full-detector response simulation program. The detector design is described in a plain text file in xml format.
The Default Model October 6, 2008
The current default for the SiD geometry, being used for the ILC Letter Of Intent (LOI) process, is sid02. This detector is defined at
http://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ilc/sid02
.
Variants
The Silicon Detector and its variants are described in the attached pages. The response of the detectors to events is simulated using Geant4 using a runtime definition of the detector geometry in xml format. Each iteration of the design has a unique name, and the xml file and a plain english description will be linked from this page.
