Abstract
This Snowmass study explores methods for the reduction of Beam-Induced Backgrounds (BIB) at a future muon collider. Studies are performed for 1.5 TeV beams, and a detector with a tungsten nozzle designed to block the majority of the BIB. In this context, detector strategies are explored to further reduce the BIB, with a focus on the innermost layers of the tracker where its density is highest. In addition, a conceptual design of a calorimeter built to reject BIB is presented.
