High granularity Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter using GRPCs

A Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter using Glass Resistive Plate Chambers (GRPCs) is one of the calorimeters candidates proposed for particle physics experiments at the future electrons collider. It is a high granular calorimeter which is required for application of the particle flow algorithm in order to improve the jet energy resolution to achieve 30%= ffiffiffi E p as one of the goals of thes...

Proton tracking in a high-granularity Digital Tracking Calorimeter for proton CT purposes

Radiation therapy with protons as of today utilizes information from x-ray CT in order to estimate the proton stopping power of the traversed tissue in a patient. The conversion from x-ray attenuation to proton stopping power in tissue introduces range uncertainties of the order of 2-3% of the range, uncertainties that are contributing to an increase of the necessary planning margins added to t...

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...

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

Quality Factor for the Hadronic Calorimeter in High Luminosity Conditions

The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the central section of the hadronic calorimeter of ATLAS experiment of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and has about 10,000 eletronic channels. An Optimal Filter (OF) has been used to estimate the energy sampled by the calorimeter and applies a Quality Factor (QF) for signal acceptance. An approach using Matched Filter (MF) has also been pursued. In order to co...
