Abstract

The excellent jet energy resolution is crucial for the precise measurement of the Higgs properties at future e+e− Higgs factories, such as the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). For this purpose, a novel design of the particle flow oriented hadronic calorimeter based on glass scintillators (GSHCAL) is proposed. Compared with the designs based on gas or plastic scintillators, the GSHCAL can achieve a higher sampling fraction and more compact structure in a cost-effective way, benefiting from the high density and low cost of glass scintillators. In order to explore the physics potential of the GSHCAL, its intrinsic energy resolution and the contribution to the measurement of the hadronic system was investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. Preliminary results show that the stochastic term of hadronic energy resolution can reach around 24% and the Boson Mass Resolution (BMR) can reach around 3.38% when the GSHCAL is applied. Besides, the key technical R&D of high-performance glass scintillator tiles is also introduced.
