Event details
The physics program of the International Linear Collider (ILC) requires
the accurate reconstruction of multi-jet final states with an unprecedented
jet energy resolution of around 30%/sqrt(E). The CALICE collaboration is
studying calorimetry to achieve this goal. The collaboration has 190
members from 32 institutions in 9 countries worldwide and is planning a
major program of beam tests over the next three years. The aim is to
develop calorimeters with very high spatial granularity in three
dimensions. This should give reasonable matching of the energy deposits
seen to individual particles in the jets, thus allowing "particle flow"
jet reconstruction algorithms which should be capable of delivering the
required energy resolution. The current status and future plans of the
CALICE program will be described as well as results from the first round
of beam tests in 2005.
