Description
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) to be built at CERN, is the proposed successor to the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The FCC will facilitate a wide science program which, by exploring matter and forces at the smallest scales and the Universe at earliest times, will continue to provide answers to scientific questions and potentially reveal fundamentally new phenomena or forms of matter never observed before.
The development of detectors for FCC represents a challenge that drives technologies beyond the present state of the art and the coming years will be the critical time period for this. To meet these challenges, a robust R&D program has been initiated spearheaded by the CERN-anchored detector R&D Collaborations (DRDs). The development of solid state detectors to match the requirements of experiments at the FCC are the focus of the DRD3 Collaboration.
In this presentation we will report on the main activities of the DRD3 Collaboration as they are organized in the form of working groups. Emphasis will be placed in the most technologically innovative initiatives that aim to achieve full integration of sensing and microelectronics in monolithic CMOS pixel sensors, develop solid state sensors with 4D tracking capabilities and extend the operational life of solid state sensors in extreme environments. Throughout the presentation we will highlight R&D areas where there is already Canadian involvement. The potential of applications of new solid state detector technologies beyond collider particle physics will also be explored in the end.
