WG2: Calorimetry

Contribution Talk

Water-based liquid scintillators (WbLS) are attractive neutrino detector materials because they allow the separation of Cherenkov and scintillation signals. Using WbLS large-scale neutrino experiments can benefit from both directional reconstruction and enhanced low-energy efficiency. Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) has long-standing expertise in developing WbLS and metal-doped liquid...

Contribution Talk

We have used the TOPAS Geant4-based package to write a parametric simulation of the pattern recognition and image reconstruction of a whole-body TOF-PET camera employing a liquid scintillator with low atomic number (Z) as the active medium rather than conventional high-Z crystals, and with large-area MCP-based photodetectors for determination of Time-of-Flight.

A high-granularity calorimeter insert based on SiPM-on-tile technology for the EIC

One of the key requirements for EIC detectors is to have tracking and full calorimetry up to $\eta$=4.0. The forward region (3<$\eta$<4) poses multiple challenges, including those arising from the EIC beam-crossing angle. We present a design for a calorimeter insert (CALI) that is based on the SiPM-on-tile...
