SiD Detector R&D

该奖项将资助未来轻子对撞机探测器，特别是SiD探测器概念所需的研发。它的设计是为了解决粒子物理学的基本问题，包括负责电弱对称性破缺和质量产生的机制，力的统一，以及小距离的时空结构，包括额外维度的可能证据。SiD广泛使用硅探测器，这与ILC物理和机器环境的挑战非常匹配。它们快速，对机器诱导的背景具有鲁棒性，并且能够进行非常精细的分割。SiD以硅跟踪和硅钨采样量热法为基础，辅以强大的像素顶点检测、外强子量热法和介子检测。该合同将资助使用商业3D软件工具的硅像素探测器技术建模过程的开发。为了在许多提出的传感器和读出技术之间做出决定，并优化尺寸和电荷收集效率等参数，该提案将开发各种候选技术的精确3D建模。该提案预计将对教育和推广产生影响。参与的大学正在开展针对K-12学生的活动，与学生接触的有效方式是通过他们的老师。新的教育和外联工作正以ILC为中心。

This award will fund the R&D needed for future lepton collider detector and in particular the SiD detector concept. It has been designed to address fundamental questions of particle physics, including the mechanism responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking and the generation of mass, the unification of forces, and the structure of space-time at small distances, including possible evidence for extra dimensions. SiD makes extensive use of silicon detectors, which are well-matched to the challenges of ILC physics and the machine environment. They are fast, robust against machine-induced background, and capable of very fine segmentation. SiD is based on silicon tracking and silicon-tungsten sampling calorimetry, complemented by powerful pixel vertex detection, and outer hadronic calorimetry and muon detection. This award will fund the development of a process for modeling of silicon pixel detector technology using commercial 3D software tools. To make a decision between the many proposed sensor and readout technologies, and to optimize parameters such as size and charge collection efficiency, the proposal will develop precise 3D modeling of various candidate technologies. The proposal is expected to have impact in education and outreach. There are ongoing activities at the participating universities are aimed at K-12 students an effective ways to reach students is through their teachers. New education and outreach efforts are centering on the ILC.
