Title: Machine-Related Backgrounds in the SiD Detector at ILC

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/892406· OSTI ID:892406

With a multi-stage collimation system and magnetic iron spoilers in the tunnel, the background particle fluxes on the ILC detector can be substantially reduced. At the same time, beam-halo interactions with collimators and protective masks in the beam delivery system create fluxes of muons and other secondary particles which can still exceed the tolerable levels for some of the ILC sub-detectors. Results of modeling of such backgrounds in comparison to those from the e{sup +}e{sup -} interactions are presented in this paper for the SiD detector.
