3.2. In/organic scintillator calorimetry

Scintillator based calorimetry is under consideration for many calorimeters of future accelerator experiments due to its cost effectiveness and moderate radiation hardness which makes it an ideal choice for hadronic calorimeters in high energy physics experiments such as FCC-hh, FCC-ee, CLIC and ILC. On top of that it is also considered for the LHCb ECAL Upgrade II. All such calorimeters will profit from excellent timing resolution to suppress pile-up, in the case of LHCb 20-50 ps are required.

Future R&D will greatly profit from CERN's long expertise on this type of detectors. Future activities include the upgrade of the LHCb Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) and the design of a Hadronic Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) for a future hadron collider (FCC-hh).
