Future prospects for semiconductor detectors in high-energy physics
The track measuring capabilities of wire chambers and silicon detectors are compared. The question of future prospects is addressed in terms of the limitations or breadth of application of semiconductor detectors. Properties of strip detectors, charge transfer devices, and microdetector arrays are briefly reviewed, and a general purpose detector facility and its detector requirements are described. Rate capability and pattern recognition of such a detector are discussed, and the need for improved mass and momentum resolution is examined. Miniaturization of calorimeter-based detectors is covered briefly. Use of detectors in experiments involving rare and complex events consisting of up to thousands of final state particles, and in experiments involving ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed.
