Description
The Future Circular Collider for electron–positron collisions (FCC-ee) requires a high-performance detector, for which the Innovative Detector for Electron-positron Accelerator (IDEA) has been proposed. The micro-Resistive WELL (µ-RWELL) technology is under development for the muon system, offering compact design, cost-effectiveness, and scalability to large surfaces (>1500 m²).
The R&D program focuses on detector optimization and readout electronics to meet the muon system’s requirements, including a spatial resolution of about 400 µm. Various readout schemes, such as strips, capacitive sharing, and top-readout, are under study, alongside performance comparisons between TIGER and APV-25 electronics, with test-beam results at CERN SPS providing crucial inputs.
Recent activities include exploring alternative layouts to maximize the properties of the resistive DLC layer, optimizing surface resistivity and signal uniformity. Simulation tools are being leveraged to integrate the µ-RWELL with new readout electronics and to guide the design of a dedicated ASIC.
Simulations validated against experimental data, together with the full implementation of the µ-RWELL muon system in the IDEA DD4HEP framework, enable precise evaluation of detector performance in the FCC-ee environment.
This contribution presents the latest updates on detector R&D, electronics optimization, simulation studies, and new design activities, outlining the roadmap toward the final µ-RWELL configuration for the IDEA muon system.
