ICFA and the Linear Collider
ICFA has been helping to guide international cooperation on
and try to realize the Linear Collider more than 10 years .
Major steps:
1995: First LC TRC Report, under Greg Loew as Chair
1999: ICFA Statement on Linear Collider
2002: ICFA commissioned the second LC TRC Report,
under Greg Loew as Chair
2002: ICFA has established the ILC Steering
Committee (ILCSC) with Maury Tigner as Chair
ILCSC Charter(2002)

Engage in outreach, explaining the intrinsic scientific
and technological importance of the project to the
scientific community at large, to industry, to government
officials and politicians and to the general public

Based upon the extensive work already done in the three
regions, engage in defining the scientific roadmap, the
scope and primary parameters for machine and detector.
It is particularly important that the initial energy, the
initial operations scenario and the goals for
upgradeability be properly assessed. -> Set up GDE
ILCSC Charter (cont)

Monitor the machine R&D activities and make
recommendations on the coordination and sharing of
R&D tasks as appropriate. Although the accelerator
technology choice may well be determined by the host
country, the ILCSC should help facilitate this choice to
the largest degree possible. -> Setup ITRP and GDE,
and then MAC

Identify models of the organizational structure, based on
international partnerships, adequate for constructing the
LC facility. In addition, the ILCSC should make
recommendations regarding the role of the host country
in the construction and operation of the facility.
-> Collaboration with FALC ->Next Step
ILCSC Charter (cont)

Carry out such other tasks as may be approved or
directed by ICFA -> The role of ILCSC will be discussed
at the next ICFA meeting (February 10, 2006 at CERN)

“ The mandate of the ILCSC shall be reviewed by ICFA
in three years to determine if the purpose is being
properly served and remains appropriate or if the
activity should be terminated.”
ICFA meeting held on February 9 and 10, 2006, at
CERN has decided that ILCSC shall continue its role.
Summary of ILCSC meetings
in Snowmass（05/08/23) and Daegu (05/09/27)
• ILCSC reconfirms that it is the only oversight body of GDE.
the regional committees provide input to ILCSC and have no
oversight role.
• ILCSC has finalized the Annex to GDE MoU.
• The regional committees will produce lists of possible
signatories from their regions. ILCSC will review the lists, and
form guidelines for what types of institutions can sign.
• ILCSC is going to set up Machine Advisory Committee by the
end of 2005. MAC will report to ILCSC and give advice to
GDE. MAC members should be selected by their expertise. It
will have the first meeting early 2006

MAC Mandate
1. As one of the ILCSC oversight activities of GDE, MAC
(Machine Advisory Committee) will be formed.
2. MAC will review the GDE activities with respect to
accelerators and report to ILCSC, and, at the same time, give
advice to GDE director.
3. MAC will review BCD as soon as the document is released,
and then、review the activities of GDE at appropriate time until
RDR is finalized.
4. We assume that MAC will meet twice a year during this period.
Comment: Number of MAC members is 10-12, and members
shall be selected mostly on the basis of their expertise and not on
the basis of regional balance.
Summary of ILCSC meetings
in Snowmass（05/08/23) and Daegu (05/09/27)(cont)
• ILCSC will have a close consultative relationship with the
FALC (Funding Agencies for Linear Collider) groups.
• ILCSC proposes that ICFA Chair and ILCSC Chair be invited
to FALC meetings, and ILCSC Chair to FALC RG meetings.
• GDE will keep the FALC group well informed.
• Next ILCSC meeting will be held at CERN on Feb 9, 2006
and the one after the next will be held in Zeuten in early May.

ILCSC and Its Next Step
• ILCSC will continue to oversee GDE until GDE gets
organized under a federation of worldwide government
agencies and something like interim council. At that time
ICFA and ILCSC will step aside.
• A natural time for ICFA/ILCSC to hand off the GDE
oversight to such a body would be at the transition from
Reference Design (RDR) to Technical Design (TDR). The
delay should be minimized; however, before the
establishment of the federation of worldwide government
agencies ICFA/ILCSC should not step aside.
• Coming years are crucial years for ILC, since to realize
above-mentioned transition needs a lot of work, cooperation,
and wisdom.

Discussion in FALC meeting on November 4, 2005
• FLAC insists that it will oversee the GDE for funding. It complains about
the dashed lines between FLAC and GDE.
• FALC plans to set up a sub-committee consists of a few members in
January to discuss how to evolve FALC toward the international
management of ILC.
• FLAC wishes send its RG Chair to ILCSC meetings and its Chair to ICFA.
• FALC has agreed to invite ILCSC Chair to FALC and FLAC RG meetings
and ICFA Chair to FLAC meetings.
• FALC proposes that the common fund to support GDE activities be divided
into 1/3, 1/3, and 1/3 to each reagion.

FALC and ILCSC
- ILCSC invites FALC-RG Chair (Richard Wade) to the meeting.
- SK (he attended the last FALC meeting as an observer) reported on FALC
meeting in November and Wade reported on the FALC-RG meeting held
yesterday.(in the FALC-RG meeting one comment was made that FALC
and FALC-RG should be responsible only to the common fund, and no
strong objections to this comment)
- FALC has decided that the common fund shall be supported 1/3 per region.
Wade reported that FALC-RG discussed the MoU of cost sharing.
- ILCSC has agreed that it needs good interaction with FALC and for this
purpose ILCSC will invite FALC-RG Chair to every meeting.
- ILCSC also discussed the issue of evolution of FALC raised in the last
FALC meeting. ILCSC has concluded that FALC shall be evolved from
inside and the interaction with FALC shall be done by attendance of ILCSC

Machine Advisory Committee
- In the last ILCSC meeting ILCSC has decided to setup MAC (machine
advisory committee) which monitors the GDE activities with respect to
machine design and R&D.
- ILCSC has formed a nomination committee consisting of four members
(Wagner, Dorfan, Namkung, and SK). Although it took longer time than
planned the nomination committee has reached a consensus about Chair of
MAC (Ferdi Willeke of DESY) and proposed this nomination to ILCSC.
ILCSC has endorsed this proposal.
- The nomination committee plus Willeke will work on selection of the
members of the MAC and the names should be fixed as soon as possible.
- It has been also agreed upon that Chair of ILCSC will participate in MAC
as ex-officio and that MAC will have secretary.
- MAC members who belong to major laboratories with respect to ILC
activities shall be supported by their institutes for their participation in
MAC meetings. In other cases the common fund shall be used. The first
MAC meeting shall be held before early April.
Preparatory Committee of ILCSC
- It was proposed in the last ILCSC meeting that ILCSC set up
an Executive committee to make the ILCSC respond much
timely and quickly.
- In this meeting ILCSC has agreed that instead of the
Executive committee ILCSC will set up a preparatory
committee (good name shall be found soon) which prepares
agenda and make the decision making of ILCSC much easier.
- Roy Rubinstein, Maury Tigner, and SK will work on
suggested mandate for ILCSC approval.
Possible increase of Signers of MoU
In order to enlarge GDE activities each region has thought
about possible participating institutes that become signers of
the MoU. Names of a few institutes are suggested.
WWS
- Francois Richard made a report on WWS activities.
- He emphasized that it was not good strategically if too low
budget would be assigned to detector R&D, since good
detectors could effectively increase the luminosity. ILCSC
recognizes the situation.
- Richard also reported that WWS had set up two panels, R&D
panel and Machine-Detector Interface panel, the former
outside of GDE, and the latter interfacing WWS to GDE.
- He also reported that three WWS members had joined in
GDE as representatives of WWS.
Next ILCSC meetings
The next ILCSC meeting will be held on May 8 in Zeuten
and one after the next will be held during the ICHEP
conference in Moscow.
ACFA
Asian Committee for
Future Accelerators
Officially established in the First Plenary
ACFA meeting held in 1996 at POSTECH,

ACFA and ILC
• ACFA strives to get the LC in Asia
• Three ACFA statements were issued in 1997, 2001, and
2004
• Should approach all Asian governments & convince them
to participate actively in LC
• Identify the R&D capabilities and industrial strength
to optimize the cost for LC
• Training of Asian manpower through workshops, schools,
conferences & exchange of scientists
• There will be vast opportunities for each country to
contribute to the success of LC.
• ALCSC(ACFA Linear Collider Steering Committee,
Chair W. Namkung) has been formed in 2002
The Third ACFA Statement
on
International Linear Collider
issued on Nov. 3, 2004 at the
9th Plenary ACFA
Kolkata, India
Essence of the ACFA Statement
• ACFA welcomes the truly international nature of the decision
on technology for the ILC. This sets the stage for international
collaboration in the design efforts for the ILC.
• ACFA reaffirms that the ILC, the next major high-energy
physics project, should be realized by world-wide efforts. In
such International collaboration ACFA and scientists in ACFA
countries should play crucial and leading roles.
• ACFA reconfirms the importance of hosting ILC in Asia,
which will make high energy physics and accelerator science
truly global.
• With ILC entering this important phase, ACFA urges
Governments of Asian countries to support participation of
their scientists in GDI.
Asian Prospects and Issues
• Asia has a good potentiality to be the host of ILC with its largest
accumulation of talented people and largest GDP in 2020 among
three regions.
• Though at present, differences among countries are very large,
and large effort is necessary to overcome this difference.
• We should make interaction among researchers in the Asian world
much stronger. Also it is important to invite researchers from
Asian countries that have not actively participated in the ILC
activities.
• With ILC entering this important phase, ACFA urges
Governments of Asian countries to support participation of their
scientists in GDE.
A few Words from ILCSC Chair
• I highly appreciate the great efforts of Maury as Chair of
ILCSC and the ILCSC itself, its sub-committees, and ICFA, to
establish GDE as a single team to design ILC on the basis of the
world-wide unified approach.
• We should not slow down the present momentum towards the
realization of ILC.
• The most important issue for ILCSC is to create a good
international management scheme for the truly global ILC,
where any high-energy physicists from any countries can
participate by collaborating with FLAC and other international
organizations.
• In addition to ILC-Asia activities we need to strengthen ALCSC
activities.
