“…The stochastic and constant terms derived from data and Monte Carlo agree within the uncertainties. The W-AHCAL energy resolution fit results are in agreement with those found using only the PS data sets [12]. The observed e + energy resolution is slightly larger than that found for the Fe-AHCAL with a stochastic term of approximately 22% [14] with beam momenta from 10 GeV to 50 GeV.…”

“…In the analysis of the W-AHCAL energy resolution, data from the 2010 measurement campaign [12] at the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) with beam momenta from 1 GeV to 10 GeV are also included. The experimental setup for these low energy measurements was slightly different.…”

“…The W-AHCAL e + energy resolution is displayed in the right panel of figure 12. To better constrain the energy resolution fit results, the low energy data from the PS test beam campaign, described in [12], are included using the SPS selection cuts described in section 4.1. As discussed in section 5, the simulation includes the effects of intrinsic calorimeter fluctuations as well as instrumental effects such as photo-electron statistics and noise.…”

We present a study of showers initiated by electrons, pions, kaons, and protons with momenta from 15 GeV to 150 GeV in the highly granular CALICE scintillator-tungsten analogue hadronic calorimeter. The data were recorded at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron in 2011. The analysis includes measurements of the calorimeter response to each particle type as well as measurements of the energy resolution and studies of the longitudinal and radial shower development for selected particles. The results are compared to Geant4 simulations (version 9.6.p02). In the study of the energy resolution we include previously published data with beam momenta from 1 GeV to 10 GeV recorded at the CERN Proton Synchrotron in 2010. KEYWORDS: Calorimeter methods; Detector modelling and simulations I (interaction of radiation with matter, interaction of photons with matter, interaction of hadrons with matter, etc); Particle identification methods.

“…Between these two versions the Fritiof String Model was heavily modified and was tuned using thin target scintillator data. The observed discrepancy with the Si-W ECAL could be related to the sensitive material, which is silicon, as such a discrepancy is not seen in the CALICE scintillator-tungsten HCAL prototype [6].…”

The CALICE collaboration has published a detailed study of hadronic interactions using data recorded with the highly granular CALICE silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (Si-W ECAL). Approximately 350,000 selected π − events at energies between 2 and 10 GeV have been studied. The predictions of several physics models available within the GEANT4 simulation tool kit are compared to this data. A reasonable overall description of the data is observed; the Monte Carlo predictions are within 20 % of the data, and for many observables much closer. The largest quantitative discrepancies are found in the longitudinal and transverse distributions of the reconstructed energy. Based on the good control of the data set and general observables, the next step is to achieve a deeper understanding of hadronic interactions by studying the interaction zone and by reconstructing secondaries that emerge from the hadronic interaction in the Si-W ECAL.

“…A cubic-metre sized "physics prototype" [4], which has been extensively tested in particle beams at DESY, CERN and Fermilab, has demonstrated the capabilities of this technology, achieving competitive single hadron energy resolution [5] and the two-particle separation required for good PFA performance [6]. The prototype was also successfully tested with tungsten absorbers [7,8]. An overview of the results can be found in [9].…”

The Analogue Hadron Calorimeter (AHCAL) developed by the CALICE collaboration is a scalable engineering prototype for a Linear Collider detector. It is a sampling calorimeter of steel absorber plates and plastic scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) as active material (SiPM-on-tile). The front-end chips are integrated into the active layers of the calorimeter and are designed for minimizing power consumption by rapidly cycling the power according to the beam structure of a linear accelerator. 38 layers of the sampling structure are equipped with cassettes containing 576 single channels each, arranged on readout boards and grouped according to the 36 channel readout chips. The prototype has been assembled using techniques suitable for mass production, such as injection-moulding and semi-automatic wrapping of scintillator tiles, assembly of scintillators on electronics using pickand-place machines and mass testing of detector elements. The calorimeter was commissioned at DESY and was taking data at the CERN SPS at the time of the conference. The contribution discusses the construction, commissioning and first test beam results of the CALICE AHCAL engineering prototype.
