Forward tracking at the next e+ e- collider part I: the physics case

Abstract

In a series of notes we explore the detector requirements of the forward tracking region for a future $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider with a center-of-mass energy in the range from 500 GeV to 3 TeV. In this first part we investigate the relevance of the forward region for a range of physics processes that are likely to be relevant in such a machine. We find that many examples can be found where excellent performance of the forward detector system may lead to a considerable increase of the physics output of the experiment. A particularly clear physics case can be made for the reconstruction of electrons at small polar angle.
