Particle Flow Calorimetry

Instrumentation and Detectors 2022-07-20 v2

Abstract

The motivation for PF calorimetry is to experimentally measure the energy of hadron jets with excellent resolution. In particle flow designs, sigma(E)/E < 5% should be possible for a range of jet energies from 50 GeV to 250 GeV, important particularly for experiments at electron-positron colliders (ILC, CLIC, FCCee, CEPC). The high granularity, which is essential for PF calorimetry, can also be very beneficial for removal of background from pile-up on an event-by-event basis making such calorimeters an attractive approach for hadron collider experiments, for example the HGCAL under construction for CMS at the CERN HL-LHC.
