PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP
The possible upgrade of LHC or a future generation of colliders at the extreme limits of energy and luminosity will require detectors based on very advanced technological solutions to fully exploit the physics opportunities offered. Major steps must be taken to design and realize devices not only able to handle very high rates but also to cope with the very harsh radiation environment without suffering any performance degradation.
The aim of this Workshop on Innovative Detectors for Supercolliders is to review the present status, current limits and recent developments in detection techniques and related aspects (simulation, signal acquisition, tracking, particle identification,...). Novel ideas in this domain will be discussed with emphasis on the directions in which improvements in proven techniques are desired.
