Research and Development towards a Carbon-Fiber wire based drift chamber for Future Lepton Colliders

Lepton colliders are a promising look into the future of high-energy physics, two are currently under discussion in the community: FCC-ee and a muon Collider. Both have advantages, e.g. with less energy loss due to synchrotron radiation, muons serve as the best way to provide collisions at very high energies, while electron-positron colliders provide highest luminosities at Higgs mass or top quark anti-top quark production threshold. However, the need for high luminosity within muon colliders faces technical challenges which arise from short muon lifetime at rest, limitations of producing and controlling bunches with large amounts of muons, with small emittance, and effective radiation shielding. Due to the low number of protons, i.e. Z=6, carbon fiber has a low value of radiation length while still providing stiffness to any support and more importantly providing high conductivity for applications in active sensing. Performance of such a device is expected to be improved given the much lower amount of material in the active sensing volume. Hence, it is the best option to reduce material budget, reduce backgrounds from multiple scattering. In this work, we give our findings on the effectiveness of using a carbon fiber wire chamber for potential future Detectors at a Lepton collider.
