Description

The future circular electron-positron collider (FCCee) will be used to study the heaviest known particles with unprecedented precision, a goal that introduces multiple challenges in the detector design. One of the proposed experiments for FCCee is ALLEGRO, a general-purpose detector concept that is currently in its design and optimization phase. This contribution will introduce ALLEGRO’s calorimeter system, offering a comprehensive overview of the baseline technologies planned for its two calorimeter systems: a highly granular noble-liquid electromagnetic calorimeter and a hadronic calorimeter with scintillating-light readout using wavelength shifting fibers. Preliminary results from performance studies with the combined calorimeters are presented, thus shedding light on the promising capabilities of this newly introduced detector concept for FCCee. Additionally, we briefly introduce the potential use of machine-learning approaches for particle identification and detector calibration.
