This award will fund the R&D needed for future lepton collider detector and in particular the SiD detector concept. It has been designed to address fundamental questions of particle physics, including the mechanism responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking and the generation of mass, the unification of forces, and the structure of space-time at small distances, including possible evidence for extra dimensions. SiD makes extensive use of silicon detectors, which are well-matched to the challenges of ILC physics and the machine environment. They are fast, robust against machine-induced background, and capable of very fine segmentation. SiD is based on silicon tracking and silicon-tungsten sampling calorimetry, complemented by powerful pixel vertex detection, and outer hadronic calorimetry and muon detection. This award will fund the development of a process for modeling of silicon pixel detector technology using commercial 3D software tools. To make a decision between the many proposed sensor and readout technologies, and to optimize parameters such as size and charge collection efficiency, the proposal will develop precise 3D modeling of various candidate technologies. The proposal is expected to have impact in education and outreach. There are ongoing activities at the participating universities are aimed at K-12 students an effective ways to reach students is through their teachers. New education and outreach efforts are centering on the ILC.

该奖项将资助未来Lepton Collider探测器所需的研发，尤其是SID探测器概念。它旨在解决粒子物理学的基本问题，包括负责电动对称性破裂和产生质量的机制，力统一以及时空的结构，包括可能的额外尺寸的证据。 SID广泛使用硅探测器，与ILC物理和机器环境的挑战相匹配。它们在机器引起的背景方面快速，坚固，并且能够进行非常细分的细分。 SID基于硅的跟踪和硅 - 丁香采样量热法，并以强大的像素顶点检测以及外部辐射量表量热法和MUON检测互补。该奖项将资助使用商业3D软件工具建模硅像素探测器技术的过程。为了在许多提出的传感器和读取技术之间做出决定，并优化诸如大小和收费效率之类的参数，该提案将开发各种候选技术的精确3D建模。该提案有望在教育和外展中产生影响。参与大学的活动涉及K-12学生的一种有效方法是通过他们的老师来吸引学生的有效方法。新的教育和外展工作以ILC为中心。
