CALICE ScECAL Beam Test at Fermilab
نویسنده
چکیده
The scintillator-strip electromagnetic calorimeter (ScECAL) is one of the calorimeter technologies which can achieve fine granularity required for the particle flow algorithm. Second prototype of the ScECAL has been built and tested with analog hadron calorimeter (AHCAL) and tail catcher (TCMT) in September 2008 at Fermilab meson test beam facility. Data are taken with 1 to 32 GeV of electron, pion and muon beams to evaluate all the necessary performances of the ScECAL, AHCAL and TCMT system. This manuscript describes overview of the beam test and very preliminary results focusing on the ScECAL part.

Electromagnetic Calorimetry for the ILC
The CALICE Collaboration builds electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters optimised for particle flow at ILC. Two physics prototypes for the analog electromagnetic calorimeters (ScECAL and SiW ECAL) were extensively tested with beams. Both showed a remarkable facility of operation, low noise and high stability in time. The first analysis of the testbeam data indicate that they meet the ILC requ...
متن کاملThe CALICE hadron calorimeters - test beam results
We present concepts and beam test results of highly granular calorimeter prototypes optimized for the application of particle flow algorithms. A scintillator-steel hadron calorimeter using SiPMs as photodetectors (AHCAL) has been tested in electron and hadron beams at CERN and Fermilab in the energy range 1 – 80 GeV. More than 7600 SiPMs – the highest number ever used – performed well over the ...

متن کاملAnalyses of test beam data using the CALICE calorimeter
We discuss several features of hadronic showers recorded in the high granularity CALICE Si-W ECAL and scintillator-tile HCAL and confront them with several Geant4 physics models. The first measurements of the time-structure of hadronic showers in a tungsten scintillator calorimeter are presented. The high granularity of the CALICE calorimeters allows a software compensation which improves the e...
