Contribution

It provides the first detailed estimation of calorimeter energy ranges for ultra-high-energy jets at a future 100 TeV collider.

Findings

Maximum energy range depends on lateral cell size.

Simulations show energy ranges for jets with transverse momenta above 20 TeV.

Results inform calorimeter design for future high-energy colliders.

Abstract

This paper discusses a study of tower and cell energy ranges of a hadronic calorimeter for a 100 TeV pp collider. The dynamic energy ranges were estimated using Standard Model jets with transverse momenta above 20 TeV. The simulations were performed using the PYTHIA Monte Carlo model after a fast detector simulation tuned to the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter. We estimate the maximum energy range of towers and cells as a function of lateral cell sizes for several extreme cases of jet transverse energy.
