Analysis of CERN 2015 test beam data of the AHCAL engineering prototype

The goal of the CALICE Collaboration is to develop calorimeters for a future e⁺e^- linear collider. The Analog Hadronic Calorimeter (AHCAL) is a high granularity calorimeter, developed to use the Particle Flow method, to reach a good jet energy resolution. The AHCAL technological prototype, scalable to full collider detector, is composed of 3 x 3 cm² scintillator tiles read out by Silicon Photomultipliers. During the year 2015 two periods of test beams at CERN have been performed, to validate the detector calibration with muon and electron beams, to study the shower evolution with hadron beams, and compare two different kinds of absorber material: steel and tungsten absorber. This talk focuses on the analysis of the test beam data taken at CERN, with particular stress on the calibration of the detector and compare these results with the Monte Carlo simulation.
