Description

Through European strategy studies and the US Snowmass process, a consensus on an electron-positron collider as the Higgs factory is emerging within the particle physics community. To explore the physics potential of such a collider, several detector concepts have been proposed, each necessitating a precision inner tracking detector. Popular options for this critical component include semiconductor detectors, drift chambers, time projection chambers, and their various combinations.

This workshop intends to bring together experts and interested parties to investigate the feasibility of incorporating a straw tracker into the inner detector. The topics for the workshop will encompass reviews of existing straw trackers and their latest developments, the requirements for a Higgs factory, critical R&D issues, as well as potential layouts for an inner detector that includes a straw tracker.
