Linear Collider Physics  A program of e + e - discovery and precision physics at 1TeV  Understanding the Electroweak sector - Origin of mass – Higgs physics…couplings - EW Symmetry breaking – Supersymmetry?  Precision studies of the massive top quark  Search for New Physics: W’, Z’, leptoquarks, …. …, extra dimensions  Much of this physics program requires high precision measurements of jet energies and jet-jet invariant masses - > hence the need for a new approach to hadronic calorimetry.

Digital hadron calorimetry - Need for high resolution energy measurements of jets - example: separation of W, Z in hadronic mode - Three components of jet energy in calorimeter: 1) electromagnetic – measured well in e.m. calorimeter 2) charged hadrons – track(s) + cluster(s) in hadron and e.m. calorimeter 3) neutral hadrons – cluster(s) in hadron and e.m. calorimeter - Use momentum measurement of charged hadrons in magnetic field, track them to energy clusters in hadron calorimeter, remove associated energy – remainder is neutral energy (“Energy flow algorithm”)  Must track charged hadrons in calorimeter !

Simulation of W, Z reconstructed masses in hadronic mode. (from CALICE studies, H.Videau, shown at ALCPG/Cornell: M. Schumacher) Importance of good jet energy resolution 60%/  E 30%/  E

Digital hadron calorimetry (2) A new approach: - use small cells (~1cm x 1cm) - cell is either ON or OFF. - high granularity allows charged track following - good correlation between energy and number of cells hit. - requires development of “Particle Flow Algorithm” to associate energy clusters/tracks.

Digital calorimetry – counting cells

Digital Calorimeter Implementation -There are a number of possible ways to implement digital hadron calorimetry: - small scintillator tiles/SiPM (> 3cm x 3cm) - resistive plate chambers (long term stability? rate?) - wire chamber/pads? OR a new approach: Gas electron multiplier/1cm x 1cm pads - easy to implement small cells - fast - robust

Next steps for prototyping - Determined by availability of GEM foils of larger size. - Likely short-term availability is for 305mmx305mm foils from 3M Corporation. - Plan is to build a cosmic (vertical) stack of 5- 6 layers using the 305mmx305mm foils. - Use Fermilab 32-channel cards until ASIC available. - Restrict readout to 10x10 channels/layer while using the Fermilab cards.
