Our Department participates, within the international CALICE Project, in the development of calorimetry for future particle physics experiments. Namely, the aim is to develop an instrumentation of calorimeters which would allow tracking particles inside the particle shower, their identification, precise localization etc. This calorimetry concept is denoted as Particle Flow Algortithms in the literature.
The Prague group developed, in cooperation with the ON Semiconductor company, silicon pad sensors for the SiW electromagnetic calorimeter. These sensors have been tested in our laboratory and mounted in the calorimeter prototype that have been irradiated in test beams at DESY, CERN and Fermilab. We have been intensely involved in evaluation of experimental measurements with prototypes and setting directions and priorities of future research program.
One of the aims for the next period is increasing the granularity of the electromagnetic calorimeter, solution of the istrumental effects at the edges of sensor matrices and development towards industrialization of the technology of production and completion of the final version of the detector.
