Description

The ongoing R&D program focuses on optimizing both the detector and the readout electronics to meet stringent system requirements. Various readout architectures are currently under investigation, including a novel µ-RWELL layout featuring a double DLC layer, designed to increase the charge spread by leveraging a lower resistivity while keeping an high resistivity to quench the discharges. Concurrently, a comparative analysis of the TIGER and APV-25 front-end electronics is being conducted to improve integration with the detector, with a strong focus on noise reduction. These studies are validated by test-beam campaigns at the CERN SPS.

Simulation tools are extensively leveraged to model the integration of the µ-RWELL with new electronic stages and to guide the design of a dedicated ASIC. Furthermore, the full implementation of the µ-RWELL muon system within the IDEA DD4HEP framework allows for a precise evaluation of the detector's performance in the FCC-ee environment.

This contribution presents the latest updates on detector R&D, electronics characterization, and simulation studies, outlining the roadmap toward the final µ-RWELL configuration for the IDEA muon system.
