Scintillator Strip ECAL Optimization

Abstract

The CALICE collaboration is developing a granular electromagnetic calorimeter using small scintillator strips for a future linear collider experiment. On developing of ~ 10^7 channel-ECAL in particle flow approach, CALICE is developing a technological prototype with 144 of 5 x 45 x (1 - 2) mm^3 strips on each 180 x 180 mm^2 base board unit in tandem with developing the design of scintillator strip and pixelated photon detector and their coupling after established the physics prototype which has required performance. A method of event reconstruction in such ECAL is also developed.
