Exploiting particle flow for linear collider detectors
The discovery of a light Higgs boson by ATLAS and CMS has triggered renewed interest in a e+e- linear collider. Detector concepts for the International Linear Collider use the particle flow concept in order to meet the challenges imposed by the need to precisely reconstruct fully hadronic final states. In the talk I will introduce precision Higgs physics and other challenging linear collider measurements in order to motivate the need for such a dedicated detector concept. I will discuss how particle flow is implemented and how it is expected to perform based on detailed simulations. Finally some of the ongoing detector R&D work with focus on charged particle tracking will be discussed.
