Silicon Sensors for Future Particle Trackers

Abstract

Several future high-energy physics facilities are currently being planned. The proposed projects include high energy $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ circular and linear colliders, hadron colliders and muon colliders, while the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) has already been approved for construction at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Each proposal has its own advantages and disadvantages in term of readiness, cost, schedule and physics reach, and each proposal requires the design and production of specific new detectors. This paper first presents the performances required to the future silicon tracking systems at the various new facilities, and then it illustrates a few possibilities for the realization of such silicon trackers. The challenges posed by the future facilities require a new family of silicon detectors, where features such as impact ionization, radiation damage saturation, charge sharing, and analog readout are exploited to meet these new demands.
