Study of the interactions of pions in the CALICE silicon-tungsten

Abstract

A prototype silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter for an ILC detector was tested in 2007 at the CERN SPS test beam. Data were collected with electron and hadron beams in the energy range 8 to 80 GeV.

The analysis described here focuses on the interactions of pions in the calorimeter.
