The 209th SiD Optimization Meeting

Wednesday 22 Sept 2021, 09:00 → 10:30 America/Los_Angeles

Dan Protopopescu

Bi-weekly meeting of the SiD Detector Optimization group. To join this meeting please click here.

Attending: Andy, Austin, Caterina, Chris P, Dan, Jim, Marty, (Apologies: Chris D)

Minutes:

• Jim talked about Higgs → strange tagging with K0→π0 π0 in the MAPS ECal; first look at this, optimisation still to be done; next will have to put these distributions into the SiD MAPS Digital ECal to study reconstruction
• Marty asked if these MAPS studies will lead to re-optimising the detector, e.g. radiation thicknesses. He pointed out that a MAPS design could result in substantial savings for SiD. 
• Caterina -  looking at strange tagging in 𝑯 → 𝒔 𝒔 bar at ILD - might give a talk at a future meeting
• Andy talked about studies of energy resolution in hadronic Z decays (e+e- → ZH, Z → q q bar), and comparison with a similar ILD study; using HCal from version SiD_o2_v03
• ILCx meeting next month

Next meeting: October 6th, 2021
