Description

Homogeneous inorganic scintillator-based calorimeters are the gold standard for electromagnetic energy resolution, but often degrade the hadronic energy resolution achievable at colliders. By incorporating the dual readout technique, we seek to improve the hadronic energy resolution of these calorimeters through the measurement and separation of the scintillation and Cherenkov light in hadronic showers. In April 2024, CalVision performed single-crystal tests using the electron test beam at DESY. Using a single delay line technique for waveform analysis, sufficient cerenkov light can be extracted to fully capitalize on the dual readout technique. This talk will present the results of PWO, BGO, BSO, PbF2, and two novel scintillating glasses.
