Description
In particle physics experiments, the quality of calorimetric particle detection is typically considerably worse for hadrons than
for electromagnetic showers. In this talk, I will discuss the root causes of this
problem and evaluate two different methods that have been exploited to remedy this situation: compensation and dual-readout. It turns out that the latter approach is more promising, as evidenced by theoretical considerations, Monte Carlo simulations and experimental results.
