Response of the CALICE Si-W ECAL physics prototype to electrons

Abstract

The CALICE [1] Si-W electromagnetic calorimeter [2] has been tested with low energy electron beams at DESY (1 to 6 GeV) in May 2006, as well as higher energy electrons (6 to 45 GeV) at CERN in August and October 2006. The large amount of high quality data allows the characterisation the ECAL physics performance. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
