1301.2494 (M. Pandurovic et al.)

Physics background at ILC at 500GeV and 1TeV    [PDF]

M. Pandurovic, I. Bozovic-Jelisavcic
Measurement of the integrated luminosity at the International Linear Collider (ILC) will be accomplished by counting the rate of small angle Bhabha scattering events. The physics requirements for ILC set the constraint on the relative precision of the luminosity measurement to be of a permille order. The required precision can be achieved by construction of a fine granulated electromagnetic calorimeter of high energy and polar angle resolution and by sufficient experimental control of numerous systematic effects. One of the leading systematic effects in luminosity measurement is the background originating from four-fermion processes, referred to as the physics background. In this paper a possible selection strategy to measure the luminosity is proposed from the perspective of optimal signal to background separation.
