Development of MicroMegas for a Digital Hadronic Calorimeter

Future particle physics experiments at the International Linear Collider (ILC) [1] will employ the Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA). In order to achieve an optimal PFA performance, a highly granular hadronic calorimeter with a good shower separation is required. One of the suitable and affordable choice for an active part of the hadronic calorimeter is a thin gaseous detector with embedded digital...

Validation of GEANT 4 Monte Carlo models with a highly granular scintillator - steel hadron calorimeter

Calorimeters with a high granularity are a fundamental requirement of the Particle Flow paradigm. This paper focuses on the prototype of a hadron calorimeter with analog readout, consisting of thirty-eight scintillator layers alternating with steel absorber planes. The scintillator plates are finely segmented into tiles individually read out via Silicon Photomultipliers. The presented results a...

Construction of a Prototype Hadronic Calorimeter with Digital Readout (LCRD)

Refinement of the T466 Prototype Tungsten/Scintillating Fiber Electromagnetic Calorimeter

In April 2003, UCLA researchers conducted test run T466 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center with their newly designed electromagnetic calorimeter towers composed of tungsten powder and scintillating fibers. The prototype’s energy resolution, uniformity of response, and linearity were measured using an electron beam with a momentum of up to 10 GeV. The measured energy resolution was 17%/ √...
