B17-Vertexing at future accelerators
- Fabrizio Palla (Universita di Pisa & INFN (IT))
After few decades of R&D, the International Linear Collider (ILC) project has reached a level of maturity proving the feasibility of the machine and of the detectors. The ILC physics goals cover a very wide and ambitious program including top-quark quark physics, electroweak precision measurements, direct and indirect searches beyond the Standard Model (BSM) like SUSY, dark matter...
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...
The physics aims at the future CLIC high-energy linear e+e- collider set very high precision requirements on the performance of the vertex and tracking detectors. Moreover, these detectors have to be well adapted to the experimental conditions, such as the time structure of the collisions and the presence of beam-induced backgrounds. The principal challenges are: a point resolution of a few...
