Calorimetry Detector Research and Development for the International Linear Collider

国际直线对撞机（ILC）项目预计将成为下一个世界性的粒子物理设施。 它的加速器应该使能量从500 GeV到1 TeV的电子与正电子碰撞。虽然欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机（LHC）正在发现希格斯粒子并帮助理解质量的起源，但ILC将在扩展这些发现方面发挥重要作用，并对粒子，其性质和相互作用模式进行精确测量。这些设施彼此高度互补，都需要探索和推动我们物理世界的最基本理论。 目前正在全世界加紧努力实现这些目标。加速器和探测器设计报告将于2012年底完成，大型强子对撞机已经宣布发现了一种可能是希格斯粒子的粒子。 我们现在应该朝着就建立国际法委员会作出决定的方向努力。 基于粒子流算法技术和高粒度的新型量热计正在开发中，ILC探测器的原型已经构建和测试。 这些活动由CALICE国际协作组织协调。 我们将实现前所未有的喷射能量分辨率和实际粒子量热跟踪。加拿大人于2005年加入了CALICE，并已为这一努力作出贡献。 我们希望能够继续我们的工作量热计的建设，测试光束，数据采集和物理分析的探测器响应。接下来最重要的步骤是参与测量和评估。 这意味着需要进行密集的数据分析，以了解探测器及其电子器件，其对不同类型粒子的详细响应，其校准，能量和空间分辨率，以便在拨款时间结束时建立最终的全尺寸设计。

The International Linear Collider (ILC) project is expected to be the next world-wide particle physics facility. Its accelerators should collide electrons on positrons at energies from 500 GeV up to 1 TeV. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is discovering the Higgs and helps understand the origin of mass, the ILC will be essential in extending these discoveries and make precision measurements on the particles, their properties and modes of interactions. The facilities are highly complementary to each other and are both needed to probe and push the most fundamental theories of our physical world. Intensive world-wide efforts are currently pursued toward these objectives. Accelerator and detector design reports will be completed at the end of 2012 and the LHC has already announced the discovery of a particle which could be the Higgs. We should now converge towards a decision on the construction of the ILC. Novel calorimeters based on particle flow algorithm techniques and high granularity are being developed, prototypes are constructed and tested for the ILC detectors. These activities are coordinated by the international CALICE collaboration. We will achieve unprecedented jet energy resolution and actual particle calorimetry tracking. Canadians have joined CALICE in 2005 and have already contributed to the effort. We would like to be able to continue our work on calorimeter construction, test beams, data taking and physics analysis of the detector responses. The most important next steps are the participation to the measurements and their evaluation. This means intense data analysis to understand the detector and its electronics, its detailed response to the different type of particles, its calibration, energy and space resolutions to establish the final full scale design by the end of the grant time.
