Description
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the current highest energy collider, colliding bunches of protons at center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. In order to further searches for new physics, even higher energies need to be reached. A $\mu^+ \mu^-$ collider is a viable alternative, allowing physicists to reach a high center-of-mass energy in a smaller ring than hadron colliders, and with smaller synchrotron radiation than an electron-positron collider. The main challenge is that the muon beams decay rapidly, known as beam-induced background (``BIB"), leading to large multiplicity of hits in the inner tracker. One of the possible discriminants against this beam-induced background is the cluster shape information deposited by muons and BIB, expected to differ between particles originating from the interaction point and BIB. We will present studies implementing a realistic digitization for a muon collider innermost silicon detector and the performance in using cluster shapes as a discriminant.
