Imaging calorimetry: the new look of hadrons
Dr. Felix Sefkow (DESY-Hamburg)

Particle physics at the energy frontier drives the development of innovative detection techniques. While for the recently commissioned Large Hadron Collider radiation-hard semi-conductor technologies are key, precision physics at a future electron positron collider calls for ultimate performance. Novel sensor techniques, micro-pattern structures and new levels of electronics integration make it possible to conceive detectors which deliver an unprecedented degree of detailed information through extremely fine granularity. These in turn imply new challenges for integration engineering and reconstruction algorithms. The talk will focus on calorimeters, it will discuss some intrinsic limitations of hadronic calorimetry, present concepts and experimental test results.
