abstract = {The Laser Und XFEL Experiment (short LUXE) based at DESY,
Hamburg is aplanned experiment to study nonlinearity effects
in the strong-field QED regimewith high precision.In order
to create electric fields stronger than the so-called
Schwinger limit, it isplanned to collide a high-intensity
laser pulse with either high-energy electronsup to 16.5 GeV
or high-energy photons.As a result, non-linear Compton
scattering or Breit-Wheeler interactions willtake place,
leading to a laser-intensity-dependent shift of the Compton
edge andthe appearance of higher-order harmonics in the
energy spectrum. One of thechallenges of measuring the
Compton energy spectrum in laser-electron-beamcollisions is
the expected flux of outgoing Compton-scattered electrons
andphotons, ranging from $10^3$ to $10^9$ particles per
collision.This contribution will present the
simulation-based design of an electronflux-resistant
Cherenkov detector prototype, first testbeam results as well
asoptical simulation studies. Further optimisation of the
various components aswell as reconstruction algorithms will
be discussed.},
