Description

The physics goals of the International Linear Collider (ILC) require a significant improvement in the calorimetric performance relative to previous generations of detectors. Sampling electromagnetic calorimeters (ECAL) using silicon diodes as the active media are widely considered as a suitably performant-but very expensive-solution. A new digital approach to electromagnetic calorimeter design based on 50 μm pitch Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors is presented as an alternative solution which could offer (at least) the same performance at significantly reduced cost
