Machine Advisory Committee
A
Machine Advisory Committee (MAC) has been set up by the International Linear
Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) to review ILC accelerator issues; it
reports to ILCSC.
MAC Mandate
1.
The oversight of
Global Design Effort (GDE) activities is by the International Linear Collider
Steering Committee (ILCSC); MAC will assist ILCSC in one of ILCSC’s oversight
functions.
2.
MAC will meet
two or three times per year until ILCSC and the International Committee for
Future Accelerators (ICFA) approve the Reference Design Report (RDR).
3.
MAC will review
GDE accelerator activities; it will report to ILCSC.
4.
MAC will review
the following aspects of the Baseline Configuration Document (BCD):
a)
Is the conclusion of BCD reasonable and consistent with the overall ILC system?
Is the BCD design consistent? Is it optimized to produce maximum physics
output? Is the plan to upgrade the machine to 1 TeV appropriate?
b)
Are there any BCD items that MAC feels should be reconsidered?
c)
Are there any issues that MAC thinks should be discussed in a broader context
by ILCSC?
5. MAC will review the process that will
lead to the RDR:
a)
Is the organization of GDE appropriate for this activity?
b)
Is the accelerator design process appropriate?
c)
Is the cost estimate process appropriate?
d)
Are the milestones envisioned in the RDR appropriate and realistic?
6. In addition, MAC will review the RDR
for the following:
a)
Is the RDR design reasonable and consistent with the overall ILC system? Is the
RDR design consistent? Is it optimized to produce maximum physics output? Is
the plan to upgrade the machine to 1 TeV appropriate?
b)
Is the estimated cost reasonable?
c)
Is the envisioned project schedule reasonable?
