243. CCD output for full LC detector simulation

Nikolai Sinev

I am working on the simulation of CCD output (signals from individual pixels), which should be included in the full detector simulation in the JAS. This can give the ideas about limits and optimization of the CCD based vertex detector in the spatial resolution, tracks separation, readout speed and so on. It also allows better understanding of the impact of vertex detector parameters on...

244. Strategies for pickup and noise suppression with different vertex detector technologies

At the US LC workshop held at SLAC in January 2004, it became clear that the SLC experience with beam-related pickup could have important consequences for the vertex detector at the future LC. There are major differences for the warm and cold machine, and for different detector technologies. We review the current thinking in the light of these discussions, and consider pointers to...

245. Pattern Recognition Studies for a Silicon Outer Tracker

We have studied pattern recognition in a variant of the proposed SD detector where the outer 5 layers (r=20-125 cm) have axial-only strips. The purpose of these studies is to determine if this detector, combined with a fully 3D (CCD) inner tracker, is sufficient for the reconstruction of tracks in the dense core of jets. Using standard algorithms, track finding efficiencies are presented for...

246. Design Study for a Detector with Continuous Tracking

The concept of a large volume detector with continuous 3d tracking and granular calorimeters contained in a solenoidal magnetic field offers many desirable features for the linear collider. The design optimisation aims at reviewing its detailed design, assessing its physics performances for benchmark processes and identifing detector requirements to be supported by dedicated R&D activity. The...

247. TPC Detector Response Simulation and Track Reconstruction

Daniel Peterson

22/04/2004, 09:30

Linear collider detector designs considered in the North American study include two technologies for the central tracking system: a TPC and an all-silicon tracker. These designs must be evaluated in terms of track reconstruction efficiency and resolution. Performance in these quantities determines the ability to successfully analyze complex events. In particular, superior tracking performance...

248. CCD Vertex Detector Charm-Tagging Performance in Studies of Heavy Scalar Quarks

Andre Sopczak

The influence of varying the vertex detector design on searches for scalar top quarks at the Linear Collider have been studied. The benchmark reaction depends on the c-quark tagging capabilities of the detector design. The influence of the material thickness of the detector layers, and the number of sensitive layers has been considered.
