Prospects of fast timing detectors for particle identification at future Higgs factories

Le résumé fourni par la source

We present an overview of a study on precise mass reconstruction and identification of charged hadrons ($\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$) using time-of-flight measurements in the electromagnetic calorimeter of a typical Higgs factory detector. Time-of-flight measurements can take advantage of fast timing Si sensors with a time resolution in the order of 10 ps. A precise time-of-flight measurement might contribute to the kaon mass determination and can improve particle identification in the momentum regions inaccessible for the $dE/dx$ method. In this contribution, we discuss the current status and the challenges of the time-of-flight approach for a precise reconstruction of charged hadron masses.
