M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/052 The International Linear Collider (ILC) LHC ready to explore new physics and to search for Higgs, supersymmetry, hidden new dimensions, etc. ILC critical to understanding LHC discoveries –Detailed study of Higgs and SUSY particles –Precision measurements Higgs e + e - -> Z  H  -> l  l  X ∆M top ≈ 100 MeV, ∆  top ≈ 2% ∆M Z & ∆M W ≈ 5 MeV (from 30 MeV) ∆(sin 2 ) ≈ (from 2·10 -4 ) Global Design Effort (GDE) timeline: –2006 accelerator CDR –2008 accelerator TDR, experimental collaborations, detector CDRs – Detector TDRs, construction – Physics at ILC ILC tracker resolution ∆(1/p T ) ~ 5 x10 -5 (GeV/c) -1 (10 times better than at LEP!)

M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/053 ILC tracker requirements Small cross sections  100 fb, low rates, no fast trigger. Higgs measurements & SUSY searches require: –High granularity continuous tracking for good pattern recognition. –Good energy flow measurement in tight high multiplicity jets. –Excellent primary and secondary b, c,  decay vertex reconstruction. TPC is an ideal tracker for ILC. –Momentum resolution goal  (1/p T ) ~ (GeV -1 ) achievable with vertex + Si inner tracker + TPC with ∆(1/p T ) ~ 2 x (GeV -1 ) ILC TPC tracker goals: –200 track points with  (r,  ) = 100  m,  (r, z) = 500  m –2 track resolution < 2mm in (r,  ) and < 5 mm in (r, z) –dE/dx resolution < 5%

DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/056 ExB cancels track angle effect TPC wire/pad readout 100 µm Average Aleph resolution ~ 150 µm About 100 µm best for all drift distances Limit from diffusion  (10 cm drift) ~ 20 µm;  (2 m drift) ~ 90 µm Conventional TPCs never achieve their potential! Example:Systematic effects in Aleph TPC at LEP

M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/057 Transverse diffusion sets the ultimate limit on TPC resolution. ILC TPC resolution goals close to the diffusion limit. Wire/pad TPC resolution inherently limited by ExB & track angle systematic effects. A TPC read out with a MPGD endcap could meet the ILC resolution challenge if the precision of pad charge centroid determination could be improved. What is the best achievable resolution with conventional techniques? Micro Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD) Readout for ILC TPC

M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/058 Micro Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGD) Unlike wires, MPGDs have no preferred direction - negligible ExB effect MPGDs achieve excellent  40 µm resolution with 200 µm wide pads. Conventional wire readout TPCs use cathode pads of width ~ a few mm. Proposed ILC TPC channel count ~ 1.5x10 6 with 2 mm wide pads. Narrower pads would lead to increased detector cost & complexity.

Narrower pads leading to increased complexity & a larger number of readout channels. Disperse track charge after gas gain over a larger area to improve pad centroid with wide pads. For the GEM, large transverse diffusion in the high E- field field in transfer and induction gaps provides a natural mechanism to disperse the cluster charge. Measurements with prototype GEM-TPCs have shown that this increased diffusion is insufficient in a high B field for the ILC-TPC to achieve the resolution target with ~ 2 mm pads.

Primary signal: Fast large amplitude main pulse on charge collecting pad. Simulated primary pulse is normalized to the data. Difference = induced signal (not included in simulation) studied previously: MPGD '99 (Orsay), LCWS '00 Secondary signal: The dispersion pulse on the neighboring pad is slower & smaller.

Centre pad amplitude used for normalization - no other free parameters. 2x6 mm 2 pads Simulation Data

M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/0530 The pad response function (PRF) The PRF is a measure of signal size as a function of track position relative to the pad. For charge dispersion non charge collecting pads have signals in contrast to conventional direct charge readout. Unusual highly variable charge dispersion pulse shape; both the rise time & pulse amplitude depend on track position. We use pulse shape information to optimize the PRF. The PRF can, in principle, be determined from simulation. However, system RC nonuniformities & geometrical effects introduce bias in absolute position determination. The position bias can be corrected by calibration. PRF and bias determined empirically using a subset of data which was used for calibration. The remaining data was used for resolution studies.

The PRF depends on track position relative to the pad. PRF = PRF(x,z) PRF can be characterized by its FWHM  (z) & base width  (z). PRFs determined from the data have been fitted to a functional form consisting of a ratio of two symmetric 4th order polynomials.

M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/0535 What is the diffusion limit of resolution for a gaseous TPC?  0 includes noise & systematic effects. C d = diffusion constant; z = drift distance. Resolution depends on electron statistics. Electron number N fluctuates from event to event. N eff  the average number of electrons = 1/ the inverse of average of 1/N Gain fluctuations also affect N eff

The z dependence follows the expectations from transverse diffusion & electron statistics.

M. DixitIPNS KEK 14/10/0538 Summary TPC with MPGD readout is a very well suited technology for the ILC. Traditional readout has difficulty achieving TPC resolution goal, unless narrower pads are used. With charge dispersion, the cluster charge can be dispersed in a controlled way such that relatively wide pads can be used without sacrificing resolution. With such a readout system, it may be feasible to achieve ILC TPC resolution goal with relatively wide pads both for the GEM and the Micromegas readout. With R&D, ILC TPC resolution goals appear within reach. Beam test at KEK (next week) important step in developing the MPGD readout for the ILC TPC.
