Description

The Digital Hadronic Calorimeter (DHCAL) and the Silicon-Tungsten Electromagnetic Calorimeter (Si-W ECAL) are both CALICE prototypes originally meant for the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiments. The analysis of the combined response to different particles will be presented. The data was obtained from test runs at Fermilab in 2011. The linearity, energy and spatial resolutions results will be shown, as well as the calibration and alignment of the detectors. Both DHCAL and Si-W ECAL are fine-layered high-granularity detectors with 1cm x 1cm pixel sizes, which allows for much-improved tracking and particle identification, thus for the application of modern particle flow algorithms.
