While the use of imaging calorimetry will be included in the forthcoming design study, more conservative choices have therefore been made so far in the evaluation of the TLEP physics case potential. For example, a study -- carried out in Ref.~\cite{cite:1208.1662} with full simulations of the CMS detector at $\sqrt{s} = 240$ GeV -- demonstrated that the Higgs coupling accuracy is close to being optimal even with a more conventional detector. The underlying reason is that the precise measurement of jet energies is most often not a determining factor in $\epem$ collisions: for events with no or little missing mass, jet energies can be determined with high precision from their directions, making use of energy-momentum conservation.   The TLEP design study will aim, in particular, at defining the minimal detector performance needed to measure the Higgs boson couplings and the EWSB parameters with the desired precision. In the meantime, the choice made in Ref.~\cite{cite:1208.1662} was adopted in this note too to make a conservative estimate of the TLEP potential: the performance of the CMS detector are assumed throughout. The only exceptions are {\it (i)} the vertex detector, for which performance similar to those of a linear collider detector are needed, with lifetime-based c-tagging capabilities; and {\it (ii)} a precision device for luminosity measurement with Bhabha scattering, absent in the CMS design. The estimates presented in this note are based on the simultaneous operation of four of these detectors. As mentioned earlier, a configuration with only two such detectors would lead to a moderate 20\% or smaller  increase of all statistical uncertainties by 20\% or less. presented here.
