Study of the performance of hadron calorimeter using Monte Carlo techniques

Abstract

In the present paper, the linearity and the energy resolution of a hadron calorimeter based on Glass Resistive Plate Chambers (GRPCs) as an active element and lead as an absorber are examined for two operation modes, analog and digital by using Geant4 simulation toolkit. This investigation has been carried out in order to develop a hadron calorimeter for the future linear collider International Linear Collider.
