Preliminary Results from a Test Beam of ADRIANO Prototype

The physics program at future colliders demands an energy resolution of the calorimetric component of detectors at the limits of traditional techniques. The ADRIANO technology (A Dual-readout Integrally Active Non-segmented Option) is under development with an expected excellent performance. Results from detailed Monte Carlo studies on performance with respect to energy resolution, linear response and transverse containment and a preliminary optimization of the layout are presented. A baseline configuration is chosen with an estimated energy resolution of σ(E)/E ≈ 30%/√E, to support an extensive R&D program recently started by T1015 Collaboration at Fermilab. Preliminary results from a test beam at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FTBF) of a ~ 1λI prototype are presented, along with simulation studies. Future prospects with ultra-heavy glass are, also, summarized.
