Title: CLIC Vertex-Detector R&D

Abstract:

The CLIC vertex detector must have excellent spatial resolution, full geometrical coverage extending to low polar angles, extremely low mass, low occupancy facilitated by time-tagging, and sufficient heat removal from sensors and readout. These considerations, together with the physics needs and beam structure of CLIC, push the technological requirements to the limits and imply a very different vertex detector than the ones currently in use elsewhere. A detector concept based on hybrid planar pixel-detector technology is under development for the CLIC vertex detector. It comprises fast, low-power and small-pitch readout ASICs implemented in 65 nm CMOS technology (CLICpix) coupled to ultra-thin sensors via low-mass interconnects. The power dissipation of the readout chips is reduced by means of power pulsing, allowing for a cooling system based on forced gas flow. In this talk, the CLIC vertex-detector requirements are reviewed and the current status of R&D on sensors, readout and detector integration is presented.

Title: Detector Challenges at CLIC

Abstract:

The presentation reports on ongoing studies for general purpose detectors at a future TeV-scale e+e- Compact LInear Collider (CLIC). The CLIC physics goals impose stringent requirements on the detector. Improvements on state-of-the-art track and jet energy resolutions are needed. At the same time, the beam-induced backgrounds introduce challenging conditions for the event reconstruction. Under these circumstances, satisfying the physics goals is achieved by designing the detectors with high granularity particle flow in mind. In the presentation, several sub-detector systems are highlighted and it is shown how the detector requirements can be achieved.
