Performance of the CALICE Scintillator-Based ECAL Depending on the
Temperature    [PDF]

Katsushige Kotera

The CALICE collaboration is developing a granular electromagnetic calorimeter
using (5-10) mm x 45 mm x 3 mm scintillator strips for a future linear collider
experiment. Each scintillator strip is read out by using a Pixelated Photon
Detector (PPD). A prototype module has been constructed and tested at Fermilab
in 2008 and 2009. Since the sensitivity of the PPD is affected by temperature
fluctuations, a temperature correction method has been established which
performed such that the deviation of the measured response from a linear
behavior is improved from greater than 10% to less than 1.5%.
