Full simulation of the muon system of IDEA detector concept for future circular lepton colliders

In this master thesis, a comprehensive simulation of the muon system and preshower subdetectors for the IDEA (International Detector for Electron-Positron Accelerator) detector concept at the Future Circular Collider electron positron (FCC-ee) project hosted at CERN is presented. The primary objective of this work is the development of a full simulation using the GEANT4 and DD4HEP software packages for the muon detection system within the IDEA experimental apparatus, proposed for experiments at FCC-ee. The muon detector consists of a central cylindrical barrel, bookended by two endcaps, and is envisioned to be constructed using a vast mosaic of µRWELL detectors, each with dimensions of approximately 50x50 cm2. This thesis introduces the geometric configuration, materials, and specifications of the µRWELL detectors. The detailed simulation encompasses the interaction of ionizing particles with the detector and the subsequent digitization of electronic signals. This research contributes valuable insights into the performance and capabilities of the proposed muon detection system, essential for the successful realization of high-precision experiments at the FCC-ee facility.
