Challenges for the next generation detectors
- Oskar Hartbrich (Oak Ridge National Lab)
Vertex detectors at future linear e+e- colliders face unique challenges driven by the need for exceptional spatial resolution (~3 µm) and minimal material budget (<0.15% X₀ per layer) to enable precision flavor tagging. Unlike hadron colliders, radiation levels and background occupancies are modest, but tight constraints on power consumption, cooling, and integration remain critical due to the...
The Electron-Ion Collider facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory will enable a rich science programme with its high luminosity, high energy collisions of electrons with protons and ions. ePIC is the first detector being developed for this new facility. It is to be ready for data taking in the early 2030s. The ePIC detector will utilise an innermost, high resolution Silicon Vertex Tracker,...
