Description
Within the UK pre-construction project, the Oxford XLZD team is leading the design of the field cage, an integral component of the delicate inner detector. The field cage encapsulates the liquid xenon target, maximises light collection, and creates a homogeneous electric field to enable particle identification and three-dimensional event reconstruction. In light of XLZD's increased size and stringent requirements, we are evaluating traditional scaled-up design options based on previous detectors, as well as promising novel design concepts. This talk will introduce the collaboration to the designs under consideration and provide an overview of the ongoing options analysis that will form the basis for the CDR input.
