Description
As alternative to the FCC-ee, Linear Colliders have been identified by the European Strategy Group in 2025 as the only mature and technically feasible projects offering a flagship-level physics programme. Since several decades, a global design and R&D effort for baseline Linear Collider detectors, ILC, SiD and CLICdp, allowed drawing up the main specifications for the detector performance. Intentionally, detector concept groups did not make specific choices and keep various options for technologies open to realize the individual sub-detectors. This has an advantage that the technologies can be further matured until specific choices will be made once the project is approved. Several promising new ideas for improved sensors and detector systems that can be integrated into linear collider detector concepts have emerged meantime. Recent developments are ongoing to adapt elements of ILD that might need to be changed, should ILD operates at other circular Higgs Factory colliders.
In addition, future accelerator projects require a long-term vision across all aspects, including a decarbonization pathway for the Research Infrastructures, which demonstrates the laboratory’s commitment to sustainability. This talk will highlight the challenges and necessary technological advances for detector R&D and optimization, and address sustainability aspects for future collider facilities.
