Performance of the first prototype of the CALICE scintillator strip electromagnetic calorimeter
CALICE Collaboration, K. Francis, J. Repond +191
A first prototype of a scintillator strip-based electromagnetic calorimeter was built, consisting of 26 layers of tungsten absorber plates interleaved with planes of 45x10x3 mm3 pl…
Validation of GEANT4 Monte Carlo Models with a Highly Granular Scintillator-Steel Hadron Calorimeter
C. Adloff, J. Blaha, J. -J. Blaising +169
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, c…
Track segments in hadronic showers in a highly granular scintillator-steel hadron calorimeter
CALICE Collaboration, C. Adloff, J. -J. Blaising +205
We investigate the three dimensional substructure of hadronic showers in the CALICE scintillator-steel hadronic calorimeter. The high granularity of the detector is used to find tr…
Construction and performance of a silicon photomultiplier/extruded scintillator tail-catcher and muon-tracker
The CALICE Collaboration
A prototype module for an International Linear Collider (ILC) detector was built, installed, and tested between 2006 and 2009 at CERN and Fermilab as part of the CALICE test beam p…
Tests of a particle flow algorithm with CALICE test beam data
The CALICE Collaboration
The studies presented in this paper provide a first experimental test of the Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA) concept using data recorded in high granularity calorimeters. Pairs of ov…
A Layer Correlation technique for pion energy calibration at the 2004 ATLAS Combined Beam Test
E. Abat, J. M. Abdallah, T. N. Addy +482
A new method for calibrating the hadron response of a segmented calorimeter is developed and successfully applied to beam test data. It is based on a principal component analysis o…
