Welcome to the ILD web site

ILD, the international large detector concept, is one of several detector concepts which are studied for the International Linear Collider. ILD is based on the LDC and the GLD detector concepts and was formed with the intention to cooperate in the preparation of the Letters of Intent, called for in October 2007 and to be completed in March 2009. The ILD detector concept is based on two fundamental assumptions that Particle flow will be used to reconstruct the complete event and that a very robust and redundant tracking system is needed to fully exploit the physics at the ILC. ILD proposes to combine a gaseous tracker, which gives a large number of true three dimensional points, with SI tracking devices to obtain an very powerful tracking system. Particle flow is made possible by a very fine grained calorimeter for both electromagnetic and hadronic showers.
