Site-specific ILC Detector Installation Plan

TL;DR

This paper discusses the complex planning and logistics involved in installing the ILD and SiD detectors at the ILC, emphasizing the preliminary nature of current plans due to project uncertainties.

Contribution

It provides an overview of the initial installation plans for ILC detectors, highlighting the need for further detailed, site-specific planning.

Findings

ILD has developed elaborate installation plans.

Plans are preliminary and require further detail.

Installation procedures must consider site-specific constraints.

Abstract

Both ILC detector concepts, ILD and SiD, are very complex machines, the assembly and installation of which in the experimental cavern at the ILC interaction point will be complicated endeavours. These procedures require careful planning and logistics, taking into account numerous constraints and boundary conditions. Some of these are described in this document. Especially ILD has already invested significant effort into elaborate installation plans, which will be briefly described in this document. However, with the ILC not being a secured project and a final interaction point not chosen, all these plans have to be considered preliminary and need to be further detailed, taking into account the concrete site-specific and project-specific conditions.
