Abstract

Several future Higgs factories, which are based on the electron-positron collider, have been planned for precise measurements of Higgs boson properties. The calorimetry with particle flow algorithm (PFA), which requires a high-granularity calorimeter system, plays a crucial role in achieving precise Higgs boson measurements. The Sc-ECAL, an electromagnetic calorimeter based on scintillator strips read out by SiPMs, has been developed within the framework of the CALICE collaboration as one of the technology options for the PFA-oriented ECAL at the future Higgs factories. To demonstrate the performance and scalability of the Sc-ECAL to a full-scale detector, a technological prototype has been constructed and tested. The Sc-ECAL prototype consists of 30 sampling sensitive layers with transverse dimensions of

22 \times 22 {cm}^{2}

, a depth of approximately 22 radiation lengths, and a total of 6300 individual readout channels. This article describes the design and construction of the prototype, as well as the results from the commissioning using LED light injection and data taking with cosmic rays, where excellent performance has been demonstrated.

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
