Description
Since the entry to the precision era for the nuclear and high-energy physics communities, excellent particle detection capability is highly demanded for each part of the detection system. A homogeneous EM-Calorimeter could provide excellent energy resolution for electrons and photons in a wide dynamic range allowing rapidity coverage, particle containment and granularity. However, concerns of high cost and radiation hardness in a severe radiation environment are often raised for large (tens of tons) calorimeters planned in future collider experiments such as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
We propose a scalable 3D-projection calorimeter designed for the EIC's second detector, leveraging cost-effective scintillator materials with full 3D readout. This innovative detector provides fine granularity, tunable high light yield, fast timing, excellent scalability, and cost efficiency. Beyond EIC applications, this detector development may also find other applications in particle physics, nuclear physics, nonproliferation, and medical imaging instruments.
This presentation will detail the detector concept and key performance metrics.
