Machine Detector Interface: the frontier between two worlds
It is part of the machine. It is part of the detector. It belongs to both yet stands on its own. The Machine Detector Interface is a key element of the FCC-ee project. Its design must ensure high luminosity, low beam-induced backgrounds in the experiments, and safe operation.
The FCC-ee ALFA detector concept proposes a novel calorimeter technique based on small scintillating crystals. This technique may provide exceptionally fine spatial resolution.
