Joint R&D Proposal for Linear Collider Tracking

该提案要求资金支持韦恩州立大学小组在未来线性对撞机中用于带电粒子跟踪的硬件和重建算法研究和开发的合作努力的一部分。此次合作由加州大学圣克鲁斯分校、科罗拉多大学、印第安纳大学、密歇根大学、韦恩州立大学和耶鲁大学组成。来自参与机构的这个小组汇集了跟踪探测器方面的专家，包括这些探测器的硬件方面以及跟踪和重建算法。研究的目的是通过确定一系列有趣的基准对撞机过程对探测器设计的要求，来指定线性对撞机探测器的跟踪系统。pi和博士后将探索硅漂移探测器（SDD）阵列作为线性对撞机探测器的跟踪设备。主要的物理学兴趣是通过夸克标记研究希格斯的产生和性质以及顶-反顶阈值的物理学。

This proposal requests funds to support the Wayne State University group's fraction of a collaborative effort on the research and development of hardware and reconstruction algorithms for charged particle tracking at a future Linear Collider. The collaboration consists of the University of California at Santa Cruz, University of Colorado, Indiana University, University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Yale UniversityBrought together in this group from the participating institutions are experts in tracking detectors, both in the hardware aspects of such detectors and in tracking and reconstruction algorithms. The aim of the research is to specify the tracking system for a Linear Collider detector by determining the requirements that a list of interesting benchmark collider processes put on the detector design.The PIs and a post-doc will explore a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) array as the tracking device for Linear Collider detector. The main physics interest is the study of Higgs production and properties through quark tagging and the physics at the top-antitop threshold.
