Simulations of the Silicon Tracker for the Electron-Ion Collider Detector

Experiments at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) pose stringent requirements on the tracking system for the accurate measurement of the scattered electron and charged particles produced in the collision, as well as the position of the collision point and any decay vertices of hadrons containing heavy quarks. Thus, the quality of the silicon tracker, employing Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) in 65 nm CMOS imaging technology, is important to the overall experimental success of the EIC. Within the 1.4 T solenoidal field anticipated for the EIC project detector, a careful optimization of the detector's geometry is required. This talk highlights the R&D, using Fun4All simulation software, towards a precision tracking and vertexing solution that will reach the standard of performance desired.
