Site-specific ILC Detector Installation Plan

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.

Enhancing European Cooperation in the Search for Dark Matter

The search for dark matter is an exciting topic that is pursued in different communities over a wide range of masses and using a variety of experimental approaches. The result is a strongly correlated matrix of activities across Europe and beyond, both on the experimental and the theoretical side. We suggest to encourage and foster the collaboration of the involved institutions on technical, scientific and organisational level, in order to realise the synergies that are required to increase the impact of dark matter research and to cope with the increasing experiment sizes. The suggested network -- loosely titled "DMInfraNet" -- could be realised as a new initiative of the European strategy or be based on existing structures like iDMEu or DRD. The network can also serve as a nucleus for future joint funding proposals.
