    Monte Carlo based studies of a polarized positron source for International Linear Collider (ILC)

    The full exploitation of the physics potential of an International Linear Collider (ILC) requires the development of a polarized positron beam. New concepts of polarized positron sources are based on the development of circularly polarized photon sources. The polarized photons create electron-positron pairs in a thin target and transfer their polarization state to the outgoing leptons. To achieve a high level of positron polarization the understanding of the production mechanisms in the target is crucial. Therefore a general framework for the simulation of polarized processes with GEANT4 is under development. In this contribution the current status of the project and its application to a study of the positron production process for the ILC is presented.Comment: 5 pages, to appear in the proceedings of 10th International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research (ACAT 05), Zeuthen, Germany, 22-27 May 2005.

    High Voltage Operation of heavily irradiated silicon microstrip detectors

    No full text
    We discuss the results obtained from the R&D studies, done within the CMS experiment at LHC related to the behaviour of silicon microstrip prototype detectors when they are operated at high bias voltages before and after heavy irradiation, simulating up to 10 years of LHC running conditions. We have found detectors from several manufacturesrs that are able to work at V_bias > 500 Volts before and after the irradiation procedure, maintaining an acceptable performance with S/N > 14, efficiency close to 100% and few ghost hits
