Vertex Tracking at a Future Linear Collider
arXiv:1012.2792 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2010.12.110
Abstract
The anticipated physics program at an high energy e+e- linear collider places special emphasis on the accuracy in extrapolating charged particle tracks to their production vertex to tag heavy quarks and leptons. This paper reviews physics motivations and performance requirements, sensor R&D directions and current results of the studies for a vertex tracker at a future linear collider.
