Tracking detectors are of vital importance for collider-based high energy physics (HEP) experiments. The primary purpose of tracking detectors is the precise reconstruction of charged particle trajectories and the reconstruction of secondary vertices.

Tracking detectors are of vital importance for collider-based high energy physics (HEP) experiments. The primary purpose of tracking detectors is the precise reconstruction of charged particle trajectories and the reconstruction of secondary vertices. The performance requirements from the community posed by the future collider experiments require an evolution of tracking systems, necessitating the development of new techniques, materials and technologies in order to fully exploit their physics potential. In this article we summarize the discussions and conclusions of the 2022 Snowmass Instrumentation Frontier subgroup on Solid State and Tracking Detectors (Snowmass IF03).

Abstract:
Future collider detectors at muon colliders will be bombarded by Beam-Induced Backgrounds (BIB) due to the in-flight muon decays from the beam line. These backgrounds can inhibit the ability of the detector and subsequent data analysis to successfully reconstruct collision products. We explore methods for geometrically reducing these effects for use in the readout, triggering, and data analysis of…

Future collider detectors at muon colliders will be bombarded by Beam-Induced Backgrounds (BIB) due to the in-flight muon decays from the beam line. These backgrounds can inhibit the ability of the detector and subsequent data analysis to successfully reconstruct collision products. We explore methods for geometrically reducing these effects for use in the readout, triggering, and data analysis of future experiments. Studies are performed for a collision energy of 1.5~TeV, and a detector with a tungsten nozzle designed to block the majority of the BIB. In this context, detector strategies are explored to further reduce the BIB, with a focus on the innermost layers of the tracker where its density is highest. In addition, a conceptual design of a calorimeter built to reject BIB is presented.
