Containment and resolution of hadronic showers at the FCC

TL;DR

This paper presents simulation-based parametrizations for hadronic shower containment and resolution at a 100 TeV collider, guiding detector design to effectively contain and measure high-energy hadronic particles.

Contribution

It introduces new parametrizations for hadronic shower containment and resolution at 100 TeV, based on Geant4 simulations, for future collider detector design.

Findings

A 12 λ calorimeter can contain 98% of TeV hadron showers.

Achieves a constant term of 3% in pion energy resolution.

Simulation results are consistent with existing test-beam data.

Abstract

The particles produced at a potential Future Circular Collider with $\sqrt{s}$ = 100 TeV are of unprecented energies. In this document we present the hadronic shower containment and resolution parametrizations based on Geant4 simulations for the Hadronic calorimetry needed for conceptual detector design at this energy. The Geant4 toolkit along with FTFP\_BERT physics list are used in this study. Comparisons are made with test-beam data from the ATLAS Tile hadronic calorimeter. These simulations motivate a 12 $\lambda$ calorimeter in order to contain at 98% level TeV single hadron showers and multi-TeV jets and keep a pion energy resolution constant term of 3%.
