Colloquium

Title:  CALICE: Calorimetry Reinvented

Speaker: Professor Jose Repond, Argonne National Laboratory

Location: Room 111, Physics Building

Time: 15:00-16:00, Wed, Mar 11, 2015

Abstract:
Recent developments in calorimetry for high energy physics experiments show a clear trend towards devices with very fine granularity. In this context, the CALICE collaboration pioneers the development and study of imaging calorimeters. I will provide an overview of the collaboration's activities with a special focus on recent results.
