- The SiD concept was introduced at the 2003 ECFA Linear Collider Workshop in Amsterdam:
SLAC-PUB-11413
- The SiD Design Study was initiated in 2004 at the Victoria LCWS meeting.
- SiD was re-introduced in subsequent regional meetings at Durham and Taipei.
- The first major SiD Design Study Meeting was held in conjunction with the ALCPG Snowmass Meeting in 2005.
- This was the first meeting where the design had been captured completely in GEANT4.
- A series of Workshops followed at Fermilab, SLAC, RAL, and Colorado, in addition to informational meetings conducted at the regional linear collider workshops at Vienna, Valencia, Beijing, Sendai, and Warsaw.
- SiD produced a Detector Outline Document in 2006.
- SiD produced a Detector Concept Report for the
ILC Reference Design Report in 2007.
- SiD presented reports to the Tracking, Calorimetry, and Vertex Detector Reviews organized by the World Wide Study in 2007
- SiD presented a Letter of Intent in 2009.
- SiD presented is Detector Baseline Report in 2013 as a contribution
