Tracker Performance at a 10 TeV Muon Collider
POSTER
Abstract
This study investigates a detector designed for a 10 TeV Muon Collider, a proposed next-generation facility. With the target luminosity of 10 ab-1 this facility would enable direct searches for compelling Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics and Dark Matter (DM) scenarios as well as enable measurements with percentage-level precision for key Standard Model properties. To achieve this, we propose a detector design that includes a 5 T solenoid, two tungsten shielding nozzles, a silicon inner tracker, electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and a muon spectrometer. This study focuses on the tracker's resolutions, efficiencies, and fake rates, providing insights for optimizing the detector's performance. We study the impact of beam-induced background (BIB), a unique aspect of Muon Colliders where the muon beam decay produces background showers affecting detector performance. The presence of BIB complicates the event reconstruction process, making it more challenging to distinguish between background events and those of interest.
