Description
We describe simulation studies of a homogeneous total absorption dual
readout calorimeter. The simulation assumes that with appropriate dense
crystals and optimized readout elements, both scintillation and Cerenkov
photons can be produced and detected separately. The correlation between
the Cerenkov and Scintillation light then allows to selectively correct
particle energies event by event, resulting in improved hadronic energy
resolution.
We describe CaTS a flexible GEANT 4 and ROOT based framework that we developed and present various studies including, the energy resolution that can be achieved and the response to various single particles
In addition we present detailed studies of the space-time development of
hadronic showers using GEANT 4. The dominant physics processes
responsible for the energy deposited by different kinds of showering particles have been identified. Several sources of fluctuations of the local density of the energy deposited have been identified and their impact on the resulting energy resolution have been evaluated.
