Description

First Spanish DRD Calo meeting.

Hybrid meeting - zoom link will be distributed only to registered attendants.

The DRD Calo collaboration develops calorimeter concepts for future high-energy physics experiments, sharing tools and infrastructure and promoting a unified approach to electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry. It coordinates test-beam campaigns with prototypes of various sizes, encouraging synergy between projects and common, open data analysis. The collaboration follows shared publication guidelines, values diversity, and supports both scientific progress and societal applications.
As of September 2025, it includes 129 institutes from 28 countries.

    Adapting High Granular and compact silicon calorimeters concepts from Higgs Factories to Dark Matter experiments 20m
    
    In this talk, we aim to summarize recent simulation studies on the exploitation of silicon-tungsten high-granular calorimeter concepts in small scale Strong-FieldQED, Dark Matter or direct searches for new particles in novel experiments. These concepts have been tailored for collider physics, specifically Higgs Factories and the LHC. However, the intrinsic capabilities of these designs, which aim for a low Molière radius and high granularity, potentiate the applicability of these concepts to other experiments, such as the LUXE New Physics with Optical Dump (NPOD) proposal

    Prototyping and testing of a partly instrumented highly compact and granular electromagnetic calorimeter in an electron beam of 1 to 6 GeV 20m
    
    Highly compact, granular electromagnetic calorimeters are necessary for luminometers in experiments at electron-positron colliders, as well as for measuring positron multiplicity and energy distribution in the laser-electron scattering experiment LUXE, which investigates strong-field QED. In the former, Bhabha scattering is used as a gauge process. Using a highly compact calorimeter, i.e., with a small Moli`{e}re radius, the fiducial volume is well defined, and the required space is relatively small. In addition, the measurement of the shower of a high-energy electron on top of a widely spread low-energy background is improved.
    In the laser-electron scattering case, the number of secondary electrons and positrons per bunch crossing varies over a wide range, and both the determination of the number of electrons and positrons and their energy spectrum per bunch crossing favour a highly compact calorimeter.
    
    The concept of a sandwich calorimeter made of tungsten absorber plates interspersed with thin sensor planes is developed. The sensor planes comprise a silicon pad sensor with a total area of about, structured into pads, flexible Kapton printed-circuit planes for bias-voltage supply and signal transport to the sensor edge, all embedded in a carbon fibre support.
    Each sensor plane is read out by front-end (FE) ASICs called FLAME (Fcal Asic for Multiplane REadout), positioned at the edges of the sensor. FLAME comprises an analogue FE and a 10-bit ADC in each channel, followed by a fast data serialiser.
    In standard readout mode, fast deconvolution is performed in the FPGA using a procedure that.
    An aluminium mechanical holds very precisely manufactured tungsten plates of about 555x 100 x 35 mm^3. The current stack was instrumented with 11 plates and 11 sensor planes, each consisting of two adjacent sensors. Preliminary results on the performance will be reported.

    FCC Allegro/TileCal-like calorimeter 20m
    
    The ALLEGRO detector concept for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) foresees a robust and highly performant hadronic calorimeter inspired by the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter design. Within the DRD Calo Work Package 3, we present the ALLEGRO/TileCal proposal. The proposed design profits from the operational experience of TileCal at the LHC, while incorporating advances in photodetectors, electronics, and signal reconstruction to meet the demands of future high-rate, high-precision collider experiments.
    Emphasis is placed on the calorimeter expected performance and the studies being carried-out at IFIC.
