SiD Detector R&D

这项奖励将资助未来轻子对撞机探测器所需的研发，特别是SID探测器概念。它的设计是为了解决粒子物理学的基本问题，包括负责电弱对称破坏和质量产生的机制，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，能够很好地应对ILC物理和机器环境的挑战。它们速度快，对机器诱导的背景具有健壮性，并且能够进行非常精细的分割。SID是基于硅跟踪和硅钨采样量热法，辅以强大的像素顶点检测，以及外部强子量热和Muon检测。该奖项将资助使用商业3D软件工具对硅像素探测器技术进行建模的过程的开发。为了在众多拟议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，该提案将对各种候选技术进行精确的3D建模。这项提议预计将在教育和外联方面产生影响。有正在进行的活动，在参与的大学都是针对K-12的学生，一个有效的途径是通过他们的老师接触学生。新的教育和外展努力正以国际法委员会为中心。

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.
