Interactions of hadrons in the CALICE silicon tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter

The CALICE collaboration develops prototypes for highly granular calorimeters for detectors at a future linear electron positron collider. The highly granular electromagnetic calorimeter prototype was tested in particle beams. We present the study of the interactions of hadrons in this prototype.Comment: References updated for v

Energy and time measurements with high-granular silicon devices

This note is a short summary of the workshop on "Energy and time measurements with high-granular silicon devices" that took place on the 13/6/16 and the 14/6/16 at DESY/Hamburg in the frame of the first AIDA-2020 Annual Meeting. This note tries to put forward trends that could be spotted and to emphasise in particular open issues that were addressed by the speakers

Characteristics of exporting and non-exporting firms in Austria

In this study we provide detailed evidence on the importance and performance of exporters compared to non-exporters in Austrian manufacturing, based on firm level data. The results are in line with those found in other studies pointing towards the exceptional role of exporting firms with respect to various size and performance measures. We provide both descriptive as well as econometric evidence on these ‘export premia’ along these lines and further present a brief comparison with results found for other countries. Our findings however also suggest the existence of quite large differences across industries with respect to the export premia which deserves further attention.export premium, heterogenous firms, trade

Experimental Tests of Particle Flow Calorimetry

Precision physics at future colliders requires highly granular calorimeters to support the Particle Flow Approach for event reconstruction. This article presents a review of about 10 - 15 years of R\&D, mainly conducted within the CALICE collaboration, for this novel type of detector. The performance of large scale prototypes in beam tests validate the technical concept of particle flow calorimeters. The comparison of test beam data with simulation, of e.g.\ hadronic showers, supports full detector studies and gives deeper insight into the structure of hadronic cascades than was possible previously.Comment: 55 pages, 83 figures, to appear in Reviews of Modern physic

Recent results of the technological prototypes of the CALICE highly granular calorimeters

International audienceThe CALICE Collaboration is conducting R&D; for highly granular calorimeters with an emphasis on detectors for Linear Colliders. This contribution briefly summarises recent tests of large scale technological prototypes of a silicon tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter and hadron calorimeters featuring either a gaseous medium or scintillator with a SiPM readout as active material
