Summary

This Design Report describes the plans for the construction of the second detector for the SLAC Linear Collider to study e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions at energies of up to 100 GeV in the center-of-mass. Particle tracking and momentum measurement are provided by a vertex detector, a high-precision central drift chamber, and pairs of endcap drift chambers, all in a 1 Tesla magnetic field produced by a superconducting solenoid. Particle identification is provided by CRIDs (Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detectors). Calorimetry is done in two parts; a liquid argon calorimeter (LAC) with uranium and iron radiators is located inside the coil, and the laminated iron of the flux return is instrumented with limited-streamer-mode tubes to complete the hadron calorimetry. The streamer tubes of this warm-iron calorimeter, called the WIC, are instrumented with strip readout to provide muon tracking in addition to calorimetry. The same technology is used on the end structures of the detector and the central region, thus providing uniform response in both regions.
