Description

Highly granular calorimetry promises to lead to major advances in the precision of measurements at future colliders. An ultra-granular electromagnetic calorimeter based on silicon sensor readout is being developed within the CALICE collaboration. A first prototype has already been tested in particle beams, and has shown the expected performance. The focus is now on the development of technologies to enable the transition to a full scale detector, including reducing the required power budget, realistic supporting structures with minimised dead areas, and the industrialisation of its construction.
