Abstract
In the next decade, intensity frontier experiments will require tracking systems that are robust against high event and background rates while maintaining excellent tracking performance. We develop a first conceptual design of a tracking system for a hypothetical future experiment--here imagined as a successor to Belle II--built around a time projection chamber (TPC) with high resolution readout. This choice necessitates a significant expansion of the silicon vertex detector as well as a new fast timing layer. We simulate the performance of such a system in the Belle II simulation framework, probe its major technical challenges, and demonstrate that such a system is suitable for projected luminosities at the next generation of intensity-frontier colliders.
