Study of beamstrahlung effects at CEPC

Abstract：

The discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs boson at the LHC marked a breakthrough in particle physics. The relative lightness of the new particle has inspired consideration of a high-luminosity Circular Electron Positron Collider(CEPC) as a Higgs Factory to study the particle's properties in an extremely clean environment. Given the high luminosity and high energy of the CEPC, beamstrahlung is one of the most important sources of beam-induced background that might degrade the detector performance. It can introduce even more backgrounds to the detector through the consequent electron-positron pair production and hadronic event generation. In this paper, beamstrahlung-induced backgrounds are estimated with both analytical methods and Monte Carlo simulation. Hit density due to detector backgrounds at the first vertex detector layer is found to be~0.2 hits/cm ²per bunch crossing, resulting in a low detector occupancy below 0.5%. Non-ionizing energy loss(NIEL) and total ionizing dose(TID), representing the radiation damage effects, are estimated to be~10 ¹¹1 MeV n _eq/cm ²/yr and~300 kRad/yr, respectively.
