Introduction

Principle of a dual read out calorimeter

The response of a calorimeter is very different for  e+, e- and  photons  compared to hadrons. For e+, e- and  photons the total energy of the incoming particle is converted into detectable kinetic energy of electrons leading to excellent energy resolution for electrons/photons. Hadrons  on the other hand break nuclei and liberate nucleons/nuclear fragments. Even if the kinetic energy of the resulting nucleons is measured, the significant fraction of energy is lost to overcome the binding energy. Fluctuations of the number of broken nuclei dominate fluctuations of the observed energy leading to a relatively poor energy resolution for hadrons.This is demonstrated in the figure below where the ionization loss of a 10 GeV Pion is compared with the ionization loss of a 10 GeV electron. In both cases we use a simple Iron block as an absorber that contains the entire shower.

Large  number of broken nuclei:
- Large number of slow neutrons
- Small fraction of energy in a form of neutral pions.

Very few broken nuclei:
- Small number of slow neutrons
- Large fraction of energy in a form of neutral pions.

 Eem/Etot ~ ECherenkov/Eionization
 'EM' shower => Relativistic electrons => Lots of Cherenkov light
  Hadronic shower => Most particles below the Cherenkov threshold
 Use this fact to correct hadron response 

Novel calorimeter concepts under consideration for future lepton collider experiments are aimed to achieve high energy resolution for single hadrons and for hadronic jets. The energy resolution improvement is achieved by reading out two different signal components: Szintilation light which is proportional to the energy deposited via ionization and Cerenkov light which is used as an estimator of the  energy loss due to nuclear processes. The cerenkov signal can be used to correct the energy deposit as measured by the szintilation signal.
Reconstruction of jet-jet invariant mass in a segmented total absorption dual read out calorimeter is investigated in a specific example of the crystal-based calorimeter for the SiD detector. The detector geometry is defined and the detector simulation is carried out within the geant 4 based SLIC (Simulation for LInear Collider) framework.
The analysis programs are developed in JAVA within the JAS3 (Java Analys Studio)
environment.

Correlation between the total observed ionization energy and the electromagnetic component of the shower, as measured by the Cherenkov component. The calibration factor K is determined by the requirement that K×ECherenkov = Eionization for electrons. 

The CCAL02 detector

Is an implementation of  a daul read-out, total absorption crystal calorimeter made of BGO crystals. CCAL02 is based on the SID02 geometry but the space currently occupied by ECAL/HCAL Barrel/Endcap is replaced by the Crystal calorimeter. All other detectors (tracking etc.) as they are. ECAL deep enough to contain most EM showers.
