The LUXE experiment is designed to explore the strong-field QED regime in interactions of high-energy electrons from the European XFEL in a powerful laser field. One of the crucial aims of this experiment is to measure the production of electron-positron pairs as a function of the laser field strength, where non-perturbative effects are expected to kick in above the Schwinger limit.

DarkSHINE, a fixed-target experiment leveraging the SHINE facility for light dark matter (LDM) detection, utilizes an 8 GeV electron beam with a 1-10 MHz repetition rate. Dark SHINE ECAL plays a crucial role in the precise measurement of recoil electron energies. This ECAL, featuring a homogeneous LYSO crystal scintillator structure, is designed for exceptional energy resolution, rapid...
In the field of Medical Physics, calorimeters are often used to obtain an absolute dose measurement in standards labs as part of the chain of calibrations for radiation therapy treatment machines in hospitals and cancer centers. Currently, every calorimeter designed for this purpose is 1-dimensional, despite the radiation dose deposited not always being homogeneous across the entire...
This talk outlines the design and validation of a pointing ECAL facilitating the precise reconstruction of $X \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ decays in beam dump FIP experiments. The design study primarily employs GEANT4 simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed ECAL design, emphasizing its pointing capability crucial for $X \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ vertex reconstruction.
