Beam test performance of a highly granular silicon tungsten calorimeter technical prototype for the ILD
Abstract
A highly granular silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (SiW-ECAL) is the reference design of the ECAL for International Large Detector concept, one of the two detector concepts for the future International Linear Collider. Prototypes for this type of detector are developed within the CALICE Collaboration. The technological prototype addresses technical challenges such as integrated front-end electronics or compact layer and readout design. A stack of 7 layers was compiled and tested at DESY test beam facilities in 2017. We present preliminary results on the properties of the electromagnetic showers. An outline on the next steps is given. Finally, we illustrate the first steps of the digitization concept on simulations of the prototype.
