Abstract
Detailed computer simulation studies of a tracking detector originally designed for high luminosity operation at the Superconducting Super C ollider have been carried out. Detector simulation and track reconstru ction techniques appropriate to the extremely high charged particle ra tes corresponding to luminosities of up to 10(34) cm(-2) s(-1) are des cribed. The detector performance is evaluated and compared to design r equirements stemming from the physics goals of the SDC experiment. The results have implications for the design of tracking detectors at fut ure high luminosity hadron colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
