INTRODUCTION
Muon Collider detector backgrounds were studied actively 10 years ago (1996-1997). The most detailed work was done for a 22 TeV Collider → s=4 TeV.
Since muons decay (2TeV=42ms), there is a large background from the decay electrons which must be shielded.
The electron decay angles are O(10) microradians – they typically stay inside the beampipe for about 6m. Hence decay electrons born within a few meters of the IP are benign.
Shielding strategy: sweep the electrons born further than ~6m from the IP into ~6m of shielding.

2 x 1012 muons/bunch
2 x 105 decays/m
Electron decay angles are O(10) rad
Mean electron energy = 700 GeVMean energy= 700 GeV

As the decay electrons respond to the fields of the final focus system they lose 20% of their energy by radiating on average 500 synchrotron photons with a mean energy of ~500 MeV … & are then swept out of the beampipe.

Shielding Simulations
• Shielding design group & final focus design group worked closely together & iterated
• Used two simulation codes (MARS & GEANT), which gave consistent results
• Shielding design & simulation work done by two experts (Mokhov & Stumer) in great detail, & involved several person-years of effort.

Final Focus/Shielding Geometry

Beam-Beam region (* = 3mm): length = 3 mm, radius = 3 m (rms), Tbunch = 10 s
Fate of electrons born in the 130m long straight section: 62% interactupstream of shielding, 30% interact in early part of shielding, 2% interact in last part, 10% pass through IP without interacting.

Designed so that, viewedfrom the IP, the inner shielding surfaces are notdirectly visible.

Background calculations & shielding optimization was performed using(independently) MARS & GEANT codes … the two calculations were inbroad agreement with each other (although the designs were different in detail).

Electromagnetic: Consider calorimeter at r=120 cm, 25 r.l. deep, 4m long,22 cm2 cells:
GEANT 400 photons/crossing with <E> ~1 MeV <ETower>~400 MeV
E ~ (2<n>) <E> = 30 MeV
For a shower occupying 4 towers: <E> = 1.6 GeV and E = 60 MeV
Hadronic: Consider calorimeter at r=150 cm, 2.5m deep (~10), covering30-150 degrees, 55 cm2 cells:
<ETower> ~ 400 MeV
E ~ (2<n>) <E> = O(100 MeV)
These estimates were made summer 1996, before further improvements tofinal focus + shielding reduced backgrounds by an order of magnitude … so guess background fluctuations reduced by 3 compared with above.

Calorimeters

Bethe-Heitler Muons (Z Z+-)
Special concern: hard interactions (catastrophic brem.) of energetic muons travelling ~parallel to the beam, produced by BH pair production.
Believe that this back-ground can be mitigated using arrival-times, pushing calorimeter to larger radius, & spike removal by pattern recognition … but this needs to be simulated

Muon collider physics, backgrounds & detectors have not been intensely studied for 10 years. Since then a few things have happened:
-A decade of detector development driven by LHC & ILC requirements- Physics landscape has evolved-Community expectations for detector performance have evolved-Muon Collider baseline design details have evolved
New design studies for the final focus require, in the near future, a new shielding design study (final focus magnet configuration is changing) - started to rebuild the needed physics/detector/ background/final focus team.
Later this year we are planning to hold a workshop at FNAL on Muon Collider physics, detectors, and backgrounds:
-Revisit theoretical motivation-Explore detector R&D synergies with ILC/CLIC-Prepare the way for an eventual apples-to-apples comparison with CLIC

Comparison with CLIC
• We are not yet in a position to make an apples-to-apples comparison with CLIC, but …..

FROM CLIC Machine-Detector interface studies:

NOT AN APPLES-to-APPLES COMPARISON … BUT … Background hit densities appear to be similar to MC … so there may be many detector design issues in common between the 2 machines

Summary
• Background levels at a 4 TeV Muon Collider are expected to be similar to those at the LHC with L=1034 cm-2 s-1
• Detailed studies were done 10 years ago, and things have evolved. New studies to update the picture are beginning.
• We believe there is much synergy with CLIC physics, detector, & backrgound studies.Steve Geer MC Detector & Physics Briefing @ DOE June 24, 2009
