Description
The physics programme at the ILC relies heavily on pure and efficient
identification of heavy-flavour quarks, requiring pixel vertex detectors
with 3-4 µm hit resolution and a material budget of 0.1-0.2% of a
radiation length per layer.
Although technology choices are still several years in the future, a number
of detector concepts are currently being actively studied. I will discuss
these concepts and the associated ongoing R&D programmes, including
potential sensor technologies (CMOS, CCD, DepFet etc) as well as
mechanical and system issues.
