Description
We have performed a number of reconstruction studies for an
electromagnetic calorimeter with tungsten absorber and 5cm square
scintillator tiles, offset by 2.5cm in alternating layers. The offset
gives us nearly the same performance as a detector with 2.5cm square
tiles. These studies use the SLIC/org.lcsim simulation and
reconstruction
framework.
We have established good cluster-finding performance in 500GeV ZZ to
4-jet
events, and have developed algorithms to distinguish single photons
from
merged pi^0 clusters at high energies, and to determine the
direction of
incident photons with high precision.
We are investigating methods to study hadrons that interact in the EM
calorimeter, and the effect of constraints on dynamic range in data
acquisition on energy measurements for very high energy photons and
electrons.
