Abstract

Currently, calorimetry plays an important role both in experimental studies in the field of high energy physics and in applied research. To determine the energy of incident particles, digital calorimetry with higher energy resolution compared to that of analog calorimeters can be used. In this study, a new type of the digital electromagnetic calorimeter based on silicon pixel detectors is proposed to use for determining the characteristics of a beam of accelerated electrons. The concept of such a calorimeter is presented together with the experimental results from beam tests and GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulations.
