Description
This contribution presents a detailed GEANT4 based simulation study of the
MPGD-HCAL prototype. The simulation implements the geometry of the prototype that
is going to be tested under pions beam in November 2025 at PS facility at CERN. The
prototype consists of 12 layers of alternating stainless steel absorber and the MPGD.
The first 8 layers have an area of 20x20 cm² and this setup has already been tested in
the previous test beam campaigns, showing good performances also in terms of
data-to-simulation agreement. The setup, both in the simulation and in the experimental
prototype, is currently extended to include 4 additional layers with an area of 50x50 cm².
This study , carried out with pion beams with energies ranging from 1 to 10 GeV , targets
the optimization of the prototype layout in terms of shower containment and energy
resolution and to support the future analysis of the experimental data.
