Physics Opportunities for the Fermilab Booster Replacement

This white paper presents opportunities afforded by the Fermilab Booster Replacement and its various options. Its goal is to inform the design process of the Booster Replacement about the accelerator needs of the various options, allowing the design to be versatile and enable, or leave the door open to, as many options as possible. The physics themes covered by the paper include searches for dark sectors and new opportunities with muons.

Status of Dual-readout R&D for a linear collider in T1015 Collaboration

The hadronic energy resolution required for an hadronic operating at lepton collider is at the limits or even exceeds that obtained with traditional techniques. Furthermore, it is a well established fact that the presence of an electromagnetic section in front of an hadron calorimeter, as occurs in the layouts of the majority of detectors operating at a collider, would deteriorate the hadronic energy resolution of the device. The novel $ADRIANO$ technology (\textit{A Dual-readout Integrally Active Non-segmented Option}), currently under development at Fermilab, overcomes the above limitations by complementing an integrally active calorimeter with the dual-readout technique. Detailed Monte Carlo studies indicate that the energy resolution is in the $25\%/\sqrt{E}$ - $38\%/\sqrt{E}$ interval with a linear response of the detector up to an energy of 200 GeV. A baseline configuration is chosen with an estimated energy resolution of $σ(E)/E\approx30\%/\sqrt{E}$. Several prototypes have been built by \textit{T1015} Collaboration at Fermilab, to explore the effect of modifications of the layout from the baseline configuration. Preliminary results from several test beams at the \textit{Fermilab Test Beam Facility} (FTBF) of $\sim1λ_{I}$ prototypes are presented. Future prospects with ultra-heavy glass are, also, summarized.

The Case for a Muon Collider Higgs Factory

We propose the construction of a compact Muon Collider Higgs Factory. Such a machine can produce up to \sim 14,000 at 8\times 10^{31} cm^-2 sec^-1 clean Higgs events per year, enabling the most precise possible measurement of the mass, width and Higgs-Yukawa coupling constants.

Dual-readout, Particle Identification, and 4th

The 4th detector is rich in particle identification measurements from the dual-readout calorimeters, the cluster-timing tracking chamber, the muon spectrometer, and combinations of these systems. In all, a total of 13 measurements contribute to the identification of all partons of the standard model.

Particle Identification in 4th

We describe 12 measurements in the 4th detector that yield particle identification information. Seven of these have been demonstrated with test beam data from the DREAM collaboration, one demonstrated in cosmic muon test data, one verified in ILCroot, and the remaining three will be tested in ILCroot. Not all are independent, but as a whole they cover all partons of the standard model.
