Abstract
Abstract
The CALICE Semi-Digital Hadronic CALorimeter (SDHCAL) is the
first technological prototype in a family of high-granularity
calorimeters developed by the CALICE Collaboration to equip the
experiments of future lepton colliders. The SDHCAL is a sampling
calorimeter using stainless steel for absorber and Glass Resistive
Plate Chambers (GRPC) as a sensitive medium. The GRPC are read out
by 1 cm× 1 cm pickup pads combined to a
multi-electronics. The prototype was exposed to hadron beams in
both the CERN PS and the SPS beamlines in 2015 allowing the test of
the SDHCAL in a large energy range from 3 GeV to 80 GeV. After
introducing the method used to select the hadrons of our data and
reject the muon and electron contamination, we present the energy
reconstruction approach that we apply to the data collected from
both beamlines and we discuss the response linearity and the energy
resolution of the SDHCAL. The results obtained in the two beamlines
confirm the excellent SDHCAL performance observed with the data
collected with the same prototype in the SPS beamline in 2012. They
also show the stability of the SDHCAL in different beam conditions
and different time periods.
