Description
A muon collider is envisioned as one of the future high energy physics particle colliders and due to the short-lived nature of muons a challenging beam induced background (BIB) is driving many of the detector requirements. A Pixel detector at a muon collider will have to withstand a unique set of challenges created by the BIB and are an opportunity to be explored in an early detector R&D phase. The most prominent requirement is the need for full 4D tracking with O(30ps) timing precision to disentangle signal and BIB. But the presence of BIB has a more fundamental impact on traditional Pixel detector architectures. This presentation will compare the current state-of-the-art Pixel detector technology and where it falls short in the muon collider environment, hopefully inspiring potential new R&D directions.
