Prototype Calorimeters for Linear Collider Detectors

For several years, CALICE has been testing highly granular calorimeter prototypes using analogue readout. These devices are envisaged for particle flow [1] application in a future linear collider detector. A novel alternative, especially interesting for the hadron calorimeter, is to use a simplified digital (= 1 – bit) readout coupled with very small cell sizes. In the past year the first large...

International Linear Collider: Physics and Detectors

The major physics motivation to construct the International Linear Collider (ILC) is summarized. The prospects for precision measurements of Higgs boson properties and Standard-Model processes as well as new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model are given. Finally the concepts for an ultra-high-precision detector and R&D towards it are described.

Particle Identification Issues for Linear Collider Detectors Classification :

Wilson has designed and built particle identification systems in experiments such as the SLD experiment Cerenkov Ring Imaging Device (CRID); BaBar Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC). He has been the coordinator of the Particle ID subgroup of the American Linear Collider Physics Group, contributed to the Snowmass Resource Book, and has given numerous presentations on hadron ...

R&D on MAPS Pixel Detectors for Linear Collider Applications

CMOS-MAPS (Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors) are one possible technology which may fulfill the stringent requirements of a precision vertex detector at a future e + e − Linear Collider. Progress on the work on physics simulation, layout optimization, design of the mechanical structure and cooling, sensor simulation, radiation hardness, as well as results from measurements of sensors of 3.5 cm 2 ...
