Construction of a technological semi-digital hadronic calorimeter prototype for future linear collider experiments

摘要

In the following lines a description of the CALICE SDHCAL concept is presented, a proposal for a semi-digital hadronic calorimeter oriented to future collider experiments. The baseline option for its active medium (GRPCs) and its associated electronics is described in detail, together with the design and construction of the first technological prototype of 1 cubic meter using this technology.
