Description
The Innovative Detector for Electron-positron Accelerator (IDEA) concept
has been proposed to address the challenging requirements of the Future
Circular Collider (FCC-ee). In this framework, the micro-Resistive WELL
technology has been selected for the muon detection system,
owing to its compact design, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for
large-area instrumentation.
The ongoing R&D program focuses on the optimization of both the detector
and the readout electronics to meet the system requirements. Various readout architectures, including standard strips, capacitive sharing, and top-readout schemes, are under investigation. Concurrently, a
comparative analysis of the TIGER and APV-25 front-end electronics is
being performed, with validation provided by test-beam campaigns
at the CERN SPS.
Simulation tools are extensively leveraged to model the
integration of the µ-RWELL with new electronic stages and to guide the
design of a dedicated ASIC.
The full implementation of the µ-RWELL muon system within
the IDEA DD4HEP framework, allows
for a precise evaluation of the detector performance in the FCC-ee
environment.
This contribution presents the latest updates on detector
R&D, electronics characterization, and simulation studies, outlining the
roadmap toward the final µ-RWELL configuration for the IDEA muon system.
