FCC feasibility studies: Impact of tracker- and calorimeter-detector performance on jet flavor identification and Higgs physics analyses

Abstract

The extensive and ambitious physics program planned at the Future Circular Collider for electrons and positrons (FCC-ee) imposes strict constraints on detector performance. This work investigates how different detector properties impact jet flavor identification and their subsequent effects on high-profile physics analyses. Using Higgs boson coupling measurements and searches for invisible Higgs decays as benchmarks, we systematically evaluate the sensitivity of these analyses to tracker and calorimeter detector configurations. We examine variations in single-point resolution, material budget, silicon layer placement, and particle identification capabilities, quantifying their effects on flavor-tagging performance. Additionally, we present the first comprehensive study of Higgs-to-invisible decay detection using full detector simulation, providing important insights for optimizing future detector designs at lepton colliders.
