Performance of a Dual Readout Calorimeter: A Simulation Study

ORAL

Abstract

This study characterizes a dual-readout calorimeter design using simulation. To achieve the physics goals of a future Higgs factory, significant improvements are needed over current calorimeter designs. One promising approach is dual-readout calorimetry, which involves measuring both scintillation and Cherenkov light and allows the electromagnetic fraction in a hadronic shower to be directly measured and therefore disentangled from the energy. The CalVision project is working to design and build such a dual-readout calorimeter. We present the latest results from simulations of the CalVision dual-readout calorimeter design.
