Wednesday 5 June 2013 Speaker: Marcel Stanitzki (DESY) Title: "SiD - A detector for ILC physics" Abstract: In this seminar I'll summarize the ILC physics case and the ILC machine parameters before introducing the SiD detector concept. SiD is a compact high-field detector for the ILC and I am going to give a brief tour through all its proposed subsystems and the current R&D status. Then I'll show the current physics performance of SiD and illustrate, that it is very well suited to do all the physics at the ILC. Finally, I am going to give a overview of current status of the project, including the latest developments in Japan.
