The next generation of linear accelerators aims to probe the Standard Model through measurements of the SM particle properties, like the Higgs, with unprecedented precision. Such precision is achieved thanks to the Particle Flow approach, arising the need of highly granular detectors. The prototypes of electromagnetic and hadronic imaging calorimeters developed and operated by the CALICE collaboration provide an unprecedented wealth of highly granular data of hadronic showers for a variety of active sensor elements and different absorber materials. The high granularity of the detectors is exploited in the reconstruction of the hadronic energy, development of particle ID algorithms, application of machine learning techniques, etc. This seminar will focus on the Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter, showing the latest results of several analyses within the context of this technology.
