Description
We are working on R&D studies of a straw tracker that could be used as an inner tracker for the FCC-ee experiments. The straw tracker offers the advantage of a low material budget and a single-hit resolution of 100-120 microns per straw. With about 100 layers, the straw tracker will play a pivotal role in pattern recognition, particle identification, and long-lived particle searches. Straws with different radii can be used in different detector regions. We will present simulation and optimization studies for a straw tracker and its gas mixture using GEANT4 and Garfield simulation. We will also present test beam results with a prototype chamber.
