B4.00001: ILC Detector R\&D Invited Speaker: The precision of the measurements to be made by experiments at the ILC calls for technology with capabilities beyond that of the present generation of detectors. A worldwide effort is underway to develop the required technology and verify performance prior to the start of full detector design for the ILC. This talk will describe the detector requirements deriving from the ILC physics program, and review the various areas of detector R\&D focused on satisfying those requirements. Examples will be given of developments for vertex detection, tracking, calorimetry, and muon systems. A timeline for ILC detector R\&D will also be discussed in the context of the overall ILC project. [Preview Abstract] |

B4.00002: The ATLAS detector -- status and plans. Invited Speaker: The ATLAS detector is preparing for the first data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The LHC is a proton-proton Collider with 14 TeV center of mass energy and a designed luminosity of 10$^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. Beam crossings are 25 ns apart and at designed luminosity there are $\sim $23 interactions per crossing. The LHC thus presents an enormous experimental challenge to enable us to select the small fraction of interesting events and to measure their properties. The main components of the ATLAS detector include: The Magnet system that is composed of two main magnet systems, a central superconducting solenoid that provides the field for the central tracker, and a large superconducting Barrel and End-cap air-core Toroids outside the calorimeter that provides the field for the muon spectrometer. The Inner Detector (ID) of tracker allows pattern recognition, momentum measurements, and electron identifications at high luminosity. This is achieved using a combination of high resolution pixel and silicon strip detectors in the inner part of the tracking volume and a straw tube tracking with transition radiation capability in its outer part. A high granularity liquid Argon (LAr) electromagnetic calorimeter has excellent performance in term of energy and position resolution. In the end-caps, the LAr technology is also used for hadronic and special forward calorimeters. The bulk of the hadronic calorimeter is provided by a novel scintillator-tile calorimeter. The combined calorimeter system gives a very good jet and missing E$_{T}$ resolution. The muon spectrometer surrounds the calorimeter system and is composed of the air-core Toroids system that generates a large magnetic field volume with strong bending power. The air core Toroid minimizes the multiple scattering, and the excellent muon momentum resolution is achieved with three stations of high precision tracking chambers. This gives the external muon spectrometer stand alone capabilities that are important at high luminosity. The trigger system is composed of Level 1 triggers with a 75 kHz rate followed by high level trigger to make finer selection. The Level 1 trigger relies on the calorimeter and muon information while the High level trigger has the full information for the regions of interest allowing for finer selection. The construction of the ATLAS experiment is nearly complete and the installation and commissioning is progressing in preparation for first beams. We will describe the present status of the installation and commissioning of ATLAS detector and the plans for completing the installation and commissioning the detector prior to the first collisions.

B4.00003: The CMS Detector: Status and Prospects Invited Speaker: The CMS Detector is one of two large general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider. After more than fifteen years of design, development, and construction, CMS took its first data as a unified detector in 2006, triggering and recording cosmic muons through a complete slice of the detector. The detector is currently undergoing final assembly in its underground cavern in preparation for collision data at the end of 2007. In this talk, I will discuss the design of the CMS detector and its performance in the cosmic ray test as well as for the physics topics we will study in the first years of the LHC program including the prospects for Higgs and supersymmetry searches.
