WP4 - developing a general-purpose ep/eA detector for LHeC and FCC-eh

Conveners: Paul Newman and Yuji Yamazaki.

The detector working group is building on the LHeC and FCC-eh detector designs from the 2020 CDR update in numerous ways, in particular looking at potential technology synergies with other current and potential future collider facilities. An (incomplete) list of topics that are currently being explored or remain open is given below. Please get in touch if you are interested in joining any of these investigations.

Detailed synchrotron radiation simulations:
- Explore impact on inner regions more thoroughly.

Optimising technology and layout of detectors near beamline:
- Inner tracker technology / layout (Fluences? Sensor placement close to the beam);
- Forward / Backward instrumentation fully integrated with the IR design.

Adding Particle ID capabilities (Cerenkov, TOF):
- (pT / h ) ranges / technologies to connect with EIC SIDIS and physics in AA;
- Compromises with respect to other detector components?

Developing a Trigger / DAQ scheme:
- Understanding the physics and background rates;
- Obtaining a (triggered or streaming) concept for data acquisition.

Reviewing aspects of the detector ‘inherited’ from ATLAS?:
- Are current calorimeter and muon designs easily adaptable for use in ep / eA?

LHeC versus FCC-eh:
- Further exploring implications of higher energies … ‘same again only bigger’, or smarter?

Could we build a joint detector eh and hh?:
- Technical challenges in simultaneously serving e-h and h-h studies;
- Opportuities for cross-calibration and systematics reduction.

Design / simulation code base development:
- Building a common framework to investigate (integrated) detector response.
