Development of GEM-Based Digital Hadron Calorimetry Using the SLAC KPiX Chip

Conference · · JINST 5:P01005,2010
OSTI ID:1038723
The development of Digital Hadron Calorimetry for the SiD detector Concept for the International Linear Collider is described. The jet energy requirements of the ILC physics program are discussed. The concept of GEM-based digital hadron calorimetry is presented, followed by a description of, and results from, prototype detectors. Plans are described for the construction of 1m{sup 2} GEM-DHCAL planes to be tested as part of a future calorimeter stack.
