    Description
    The ILC physics programme of precision measurements, in the centre-of-mass range 0.5-1.0 TeV, places stringent requirements on the detector performance. Of these requirements, the goal of a jet energy resolution of 30%/sqrt(E) is probably the most challenging. It has recently been demonstrated that particle flow calorimetry can meet this goal. In particle flow calorimetry the energy deposits from individual particles are identified. This requires highly segmented calorimeters and sophisticated reconstruction software. In this seminar I will describe the ideas behind particle flow calorimetry and the reconstruction techniques adopted in the PandoraPFA algorithm. I will also discuss how particle flow calorimetry would place constraints on the design of a detector for a future lepton collider. Detector Seminar webpage Organizer: Lucie Linssen / PH-DI
