Calorimeter Detector Research and Development for the International Linear Collider and other research projects

国际直线对撞机(ILC)项目有望成为下一个世界范围的粒子物理设施。它的加速器将使电子与正电子发生碰撞，能量从250GeV到1TeV。虽然欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机(LHC)已经发现了有助于理解质量起源的希格斯粒子，但ILC将在扩大这些发现并对这些粒子、它们的性质和相互作用模式进行精确测量方面发挥关键作用。这两个设施是高度互补的，都是挑战和支持我们物理世界最基本的理论所必需的。目前正在全世界范围内为实现这些目标作出密集努力。加速器和探测器的设计报告已经完成。试验性的探测器合作已经形成。国际劳工大会的举办地已经选定在日本。在国际社会的支持下，日本应该很快就会做出第一批政治决定。基于粒子流算法技术和高粒度探测器的新型热量计已经取得了突飞猛进的发展，并仍在开发中。为ILC实验构建并测试了原型。这些活动由国际Calice协作协调。研究人员正在实现前所未有的喷流能量分辨率，实际的粒子量热跟踪，现在正在添加精确的计时信息。加拿大人于2005年加入了Calice，并已经为这一努力做出了与他们的人数不成比例的贡献。我们希望能够继续并扩大我们在量热计原型方面的工作，根据需要获取测试束的数据，并对探测器的响应进行主要的物理分析。我们必须确定结果的全部范围，并准备将其纳入国际法委员会探测器所需的最后设计中。这需要对不同类型的粒子进行详细的响应，充分校准，能量和空间分辨率性能特征，以及充分开发操作探测器的算法。

The International Linear Collider (ILC) project is expected to be the next world-wide particle physics facility. Its accelerators will collide electrons on positrons at energies from 250 GeV up to 1 TeV. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the research centre CERN has discovered the Higgs particle which helps understand the origin of mass, the ILC will be essential in extending these discoveries and making precision measurements on and with these particles, their properties and modes of interaction. The two facilities are highly complementary and are both needed to challenge and feed the most fundamental theories of our physical world. Intensive world-wide efforts are currently pursued toward these objectives. Accelerator and detector design reports have been completed. Experimental detector collaborations have formed. A site has been selected in Japan to host the ILC. With international support, Japan should soon present the first political decisions. Novel calorimeters based on particle flow algorithm techniques and high granularity detectors have gone apace and are still developed. Prototypes were constructed and tested for the ILC experiments. These activities are coordinated by the international CALICE collaboration. Researchers are achieving unprecedented jet energy resolution, actual particle calorimetry tracking and are now adding precise timing information. Canadians have joined CALICE in 2005 and have already contributed to the effort out of proportion to their number. We would like to be able to continue and expand our work on calorimeter prototypes, taking data at test beams as required and performing major physics analysis of the detector responses. We have to establish the full scope of the results and prepare for their integration into the final designs required by the ILC detectors. This entails detailed response to the different types of particles, full calibration, energy and space resolution performances characteristics, as well as full development of algorithms to operate the detectors.
