A System Approach towards Future Trackers at High Luminosity Colliders: the TIMESPOT Project

High Luminosity colliders planned at the next decades require unprecedented performance in terms of space and time resolution. At the same time, they must exhibit extremely high radiation hardness. Data processing should be performed as close as possible to the front-end stage. Fast and efficient reconstruction algorithms should operate to cope with the huge amount of information produced. While all the aforesaid items can be seen as specific tasks of independent and dedicated research projects, a relevant number of technical choices in detector design must be operated at the system level, having clearly in mind the scope of the experimental system as a whole.
