Vertex detectors and the linear collider

Experimental Particle Physics seminar

Vertex detectors and the linear collider

  • Event time: 2:00pm until 3:00pm
  • Event date: 8th December 2005
  • Speaker: Chris Damerell (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)
  • Location: Room 6206,

Event details

There are now 26 groups round the world investigating 11 different silicon pixel technologies for vertex detectors at the International Linear Collider (ILC). In this talk, we consider the physics incentives for detectors with unprecedented performance. We then review briefly the experience from SLC, and discuss the main challenges to be overcome, in developing a detector of approximately 10^9 pixels able to do the job.
