The PFA Approach to ILC Calorimetry Intro ILC Physics -> (multi)jets in background-free environment Optimization of jet reconstruction -> particles from cells PFA approach PFA Goal for event reconstruction PFA requirements on ILC Calorimetry 0) optimal use of subdetectors for particle reconstruction photons - ECAL charged hadrons, electrons - tracker neutral hadrons - E/HCAL muons - tracker/muon chambers 1) Separation of charged and neutral hadron showers in CAL high transverse granularity high longitudinal segmentation -> 3D separation of showers in CAL (emphasis on 3D!) 2) separation of photon showers from mips and hadron showers in ECAL resolution requirement for photons ~ 20%/sqrt(E) (1 GeV contribution to 100 GeV jet) dense ECAL -> longitudinal separation of EM and HAD showers transverse cell size ~ Moliere radius for pi0 ID, shower pointing again -> 3D separation of showers 3) shower (particle) reconstruction in HCAL high transverse granularity and longitudinal segmentation -> 3D reconstruction low requirement on energy resolution in HCAL, emphasis on shower reco -> digital or analog HCAL readout resolution requirement loose ~80%/sqrt(E) (3 GeV contribution to 100 GeV jet) PFA-motivated Detector Models 1) GLD - large IR, TPC tracker, dense ECAL (Pb/Scin), segmented Scintillator HCAL, etc. 2) LDC - midsize IR, TPC tracker, dense ecal (W/Si), segmented A/D HCAL Scintillator, gas, etc. 3) SiD - small IR, Si Strip tracker, dense ECAL (W/Si), segmented A/D HCAL Scin/gas, etc. -> common properties - dense ECAL, magnet outside calorimeter, high gran/seg, PFA Results 1) Z Pole 2) Jet reconstruction - Dijet mass results Physics processes Jet energies Detector Optimization Studies 1) B-field 2) IR to ECAL 3) HCAL granularity future studies for final model designs Summary
