[6p-S21-3] An overview of ILC detectors
Keywords:International Linear Collider, detector, particle flow
Two detector concepts, ILD and SiD, are being developed for experiments at the International Linear Collider (ILC), a 250-500 GeV (extendable to 1 TeV) center-of-mass high-luminosity linear electron-positron collider. The detectors are optimized with the concept of particle flow for overall event reconstruction so that they will deliver excellent performance for high-precision Higgs and top measurements, as well as high-sensitivities for possible new phenomena, utilizing the advantages of an electron-positron collider. Particle flow implies that all particles in an event, charged and neutral, are individually reconstructed. This requirement has a large impact on the design of the detectors, and has played a central role in the optimisation of the system. Superb tracking capabilities and outstanding detection of secondary vertices are other important aspects. The overall layout, sub-detector technologies, and expected performance will be presented.
