Hadronic energy reconstruction in the CALICE combined calorimeter

The CALICE collaboration develops high granularity calorimeters for future linear electron-positron colliders, ILC and CLIC. These calorimeters aim at detailed reconstruction of the beam interaction final states. A prototype consisting of three sampling calorimeters, a SiW electromagnetic calorimeter, a scintillator steel hadronic calorimeter and a tail catcher, was tested with hadronic beams at CERN as well as at Fermilab. Due to the sub detectors different geometry, three different calibration factors are being used for the energy reconstruction. These factors are obtained via the use of a χ² minimization on data. Furthermore, in order to improve the calorimeter energy and to compensate for the different energy deposit of hadronic and electromagnetic showers resolution, software compensation methods are implemented. This contribution presents the energy reconstruction and resolution for the full calorimeter system with and without software compensation.
