Analyses of test beam data using the CALICE calorimeter
نویسنده
چکیده
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 energy resolution by ~20% in the 10-80 GeV energy range. The first experimental tests of the Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA) have been performed using overlaid pion showers. The PandoraPFA demonstrated excellent performance with real data.

A first prototype of a scintillator strip-based electromagnetic calorimeter was built, consisting of 26 layers of tungsten absorber plates interleaved with planes of 45×10×3 mm plastic scintillator strips. Data were collected using a positron test beam at DESY with momenta between 1 and 6 GeV/c. The prototype’s performance is presented in terms of the linearity and resolution of the energy

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, ...

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 ...

The CALICE (CAlorimeter for the Linear Collider with Electrons) collaboration [1] plans to examine several technology and geometry options for electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry at the proposed International Linear Collider. Since in many geometries the total material thickness of the calorimeter is too little to fully contain highly energetic hadronic showers, it is important to gain a g...
