Join us for a workshop focusing on optimizing detector groups for the SuperB project. Explore key detector elements such as the Vertex Detector, Drift Chamber, Particle Identification, and more. Learn about the evolution from B-Factory to SuperB, detector layout, and past activities towards the SuperB Detector development. Dive into necessary decisions for the TDR and future planning. Be part of the discussion on reaching optimal strategies and enhancing detector performance for the SuperB project.

Detector Overview • Current B-Factory detectors have proven to be extremely effective instruments over the very broad physics program accessible at the U(4S). • Two (+1) examples: BaBar, Belle (Cleo-II). • Serve as “world class prototypes” for SuperB! • Optimized differently, but all were (are!) effective physics instruments. Comparisons between them help to define optimal strategies for subsystems in a SuperB detector. • CDR detector design based on BaBar (with re-optimization). • SuperB machine acceptance limits similar to PEP-II: BaBar’s geometry, field, and portions of several subsystems are rather close to optimal, Re-use of BaBar gives excellent performance and saves money. 2
Directions for Detector Optimization • From Machine and Environment: • Smaller Boost (7x4 GeV; bg=0.28) Smaller radius beam-pipe to retain adequate vertex resolution. Larger barrel acceptance. More particles backward in detector with somewhat softer spectrum forward. • Some (though not all) components of machine background components will be substantially larger. Improve detector segmentation Improve detector speed Improve radiation hardness as needed. • From physics goals, which emphasize rare decays, LFV in t physics, and recoil (n) physics • Would like best possible hermeticity, with good subsystem efficiency and performance. • ~x100 Luminosity Improved trigger, DAQ, & computing (~15 years later) • Last, but not least, must replace aging components and technologies. 3

Detector Evolution-B Factory to SuperB Factory • With careful attention machine design and shielding in the IR, the backgrounds at a SuperB should be ~ to those we know (and love?) at BaBar An excellent SuperB detector is possible with ~ today’s technology • CDR Baseline based on BaBar. It reuses • Fused Silica bars of the DIRC • DIRC & DCH Support • Barrel EMC CsI(Tl) crystal and mechanical structure • Superconducting coil & flux return (with some redesign). • Some elements have aged and need replacement. Others require moderate improvements to cope with the high luminosity environment, the smaller boost (4x7 GeV), and the high DAQ rates. • Small beam pipe technology • Thin silicon pixel detector for layer 0, and a new 5 layer SVT? • New DCH with CF mechanical structure, modified gas, cell size, cluster counting? • New Photon detection for DIRC fused silica bars? • Forward PID system (TOF in Baseline option) ? • New Forward calorimeter crystals (LYSO?). Backward EMC? Technology? • Minos-style extruded scintillator for instrumented flux return • Electronics and trigger- x100 real event rate • Computing- to handle massive date volume 5
Some Past Activities Towards the SuperB Detector 2007 • March: CDR Published • Physics, Accelerator, Detector • Nov 12-13: Presentation to IRC...Will hear lots more about project status later today. 2008 • Jan 7-15: Physics retreat at Valencia • Ongoing: • General Detector meeting bi-weekly. • Regular Sub-System and Computing Meetings (~ every one to two weeks) • Feb 14-16: Detector R&D workshop at SLAC • May 31st - June 3: SuperB Meeting in Elba ~2010.....TDR Planning, Design, and R&D.
Examples of Kinds of Decisions needed for TDR Internal System versus General Detector ExamplesInternal: What is the SVT layer 0 technology? How is the beam pipe constructed? What is the technology for the backward EMC? What is the DCH cell configuration? DIRC Barrel SOB? General: Will there be forward PID in SuperB? What is the effect of material on EC EMC? What is the front end data volume? Where is the interaction point? Where do the in-detector electronics reside? Not always a clean separation, but general decisions will usually need an early resolution before the TDR. Some (not too many?) internal subsystem choices could remain in TDR.
TDR Session (Tuesday Morning) For this discussion would like to ask each group to contribute a brief synopsis of their thoughts considering issues such as: • What decisions must be taken before the TDR can be written? • What is the mechanism for reaching those decisions? How can missing information be obtained? • What simulation tools are needed? • What specific R&D is needed? • What detailed design is needed? When can it begin? • What are the time scales for the decisions. If options are open, how can they be resolved and on what time scale? • How many physicists are involved now ? How many are needed? When? • Support for R&D, technical and design personnel? • How does the subgroup interact with the other subgroups and incorporate general detector design considerations
Parallel Detector Sessions at this Workshop • Today for SVT, PID, EMC, DCH, IFR, & Computing • Monday sessions on Detector optimization, benchmarking; simulation tools integration & transport; computing; electronics & trigger/DAQ; Geant4 Session conveners: Please send me 1-3 pages of highlights summarizing your sessions ASAP for my summary talk at the plenary session on Tues.
Summary • We have a sound conceptual design (presented in the SuperB CDR) for the SuperB detector, based on BaBar. • Substantial Planning, Design, and Physics and Detector simulation studies are needed to develop the overall detector design. The individual Subsystems need R&D and appropriate software tools to develop the best detector components within this overall design. • We hope to move to a high quality technical design and TDR within the next 2 years. • Just getting started. Many opportunities to get (more?) involved. 10
