Scintillator-Based Electromagnetic Calorimeter Prototype and Beam Test Results at FNAL

Understand

A prototype Scintillator-Tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (ScECAL) for the ILC detector was tested in 2008 at the Fermilab test beam.

• Data were collected with electron, pion and muon beams in the energy range 1 to 32GeV combined with hadronic calorimeter and Tail catcher.
• One of the main objectives of the CALICE program is to establish the technology of Scintillator-based electromagnetic calorimeter and validate the prformance of the calorimeter.
• From preliminary results of the first approach of analysis with electron beam, we obtain the ScECAL energy resolution {\sigma}stochastic = 15.15+/-0.03% and {\sigma}constant = 1.44+/-0.02% .
