Innovative calorimetry
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
Calorimetry is the foundation of all detector technologies and plays a crucial role in fundamental particle and nuclear physics. With the demands of calorimeter systems different at each of these energy scales, the complementarity across fields – from neutrino to collider physics – is often is not obvious, but when pursued, can lead to powerful detectors. The modern instrumentation landscape in Europe and the US with the R&D collaborations serves to guide cross-cutting detector design and calorimetry benefits from this paradigm: advancements in calorimetry are facilitated by developments in electronics, photodetectors, mechanics, and materials. Innovative calorimetry originates at the intersection of these two paths: across particle and nuclear physics fields and across instrumentation disciplines. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the challenges tackled by present and future nuclear and particle physics calorimeters, discuss some of the technologies on the table to address these challenges, and offer a perspective of where particle physics calorimetry can go in the future.
