Infrastructure for Detector Research and Development towards the International Linear Collider
The EUDET-project was launched to create an infrastructure for developing and
testing new and advanced detector technologies to be used at a future linear
collider. The aim was to make possible experimentation and analysis of data for
institutes, which otherwise could not be realized due to lack of resources. The
infrastructure comprised an analysis and software network, and instrumentation
infrastructures for tracking detectors as well as for calorimetry.Comment: 54 pages, 48 picture
SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS OF THE MC-PAD NETWORK
MC-PAD is a multi-site Initial Training Network on particle detectors in physics experiments. It comprises nine academic participants, three industrial partners and two associated academic partners. 17 recruited Early Stage and 5 Experienced Researchers have performed their scientific work in the network. The research and development work of MC-PAD is organized in 12 work packages, which focus on a large variety of aspects of particle detector development, electronics as well as simulation and modelling. The network was established in November 2008 and lasted until October 2012 (48 months). This report describes the R&D activities and highlights the main results achieved during this period

Forward instrumentation for ILC detectors
Two special calorimeters are foreseen for the instrumentation of the very
forward region of the ILC detector, a luminometer designed to measure the rate
of low angle Bhabha scattering events with a precision better than 10-3 and a
low polar angle calorimeter, adjacent to the beam-pipe. The latter will be hit
by a large amount of beamstrahlung remnants. The amount and shape of these
depositions will allow a fast luminosity estimate and the determination of beam
parameters. The sensors of this calorimeter must be radiation hard. Both
devices will improve the hermeticity of the detector in the search for new
particles. Finely segmented and very compact calorimeters will match the
requirements. Due to the high occupancy fast front-end electronics is needed.
The design of the calorimeters developed and optimised with Monte Carlo
simulations is presented. Sensors and readout electronics ASICs have been
designed and prototypes are available. Results on the performance of these
major components are summarised.Comment: 30 pages, 28 figure
