Intelligent Detector Design

At a future e+e− linear collider, precision measurements of jets will be required in order to understand physics at and beyond the electroweak scale. Calorimetry will be used with other detectors in an optimal way to reconstruct particle 4‐vectors with unprecedented precision. This Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA) approach is seen as the best way to achieve particle mass resolutions from dijet measurements in the range of ∼30%/√E, resulting in innovative methods for choosing the calorimeter technology and optimizing the detector design.
