The 214th SiD Optimization Meeting

Wednesday 8 Dec 2021, 09:00 → 10:00 America/Los_Angeles

Dan Protopopescu

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

Attending: Andy, Caterina, Chris D., Chris P, Christian W., Dan, Jerry, Jim, Marty, Pieter, Valentina, Matt Basso (joined late)

Minutes:

• Jim presented further results from his MAPS studies; demonstrated E resolution with reduced layers; multi-shower display shows the power of pixel segmentation.
• Valentina talked about her H->ss studies (K/pi discrimination at the ILC); perhaps with future technology we can include a (25 cm?) RICH in the limited radial space of SiD (?); RICH efficiency calculations by Jerry; full simulation studies needed to assess the viability of a RICH for SiD.
• Discussion about the MEXT ILC Oct 15 meeting: Chris P. asking Andy about US perception wrt the talks. US seemed more positive than the EU wrt ILC involvement.

Next meeting: Jan 19, 2022
