Description

Excellent jet energy measurement is required for the future linear collider experiment. The Particle Flow method of jet reconstruction, which can achieve excellent energy measurement, requires a calorimeter with very fine granularity. We have constructed a prototype electromagnetic calorimeter (ScWECAL), consisting of scintillator strips and Multi-pixel Photon Counter as active layers and and tungsten plates as absorber. We achieve an effective granularity of almost 10x10 mm^2 by orthogonally oriented scintillator layer. We will report on the ScWECAL performance in tests using 32 GeV muon and 2-32 GeV electron beams ant MT6 of FNAL in 2009.
