Calorimetry
at the Linear Collider
The potential to extract physics at the
International Linear Collider depends critically on the jet energy resolution of
the detector. The design goal is 30%/sqrt(E), which is roughly a factor two
better than what has been achieved previously. After a short review of the
Linear Collider project, I will discuss a novel approach to the measurement of
jets and the resulting requirements on calorimetry. I will present the ongoing
vigorous R&D program geared at designing and testing the technical
implementation of these new ideas.
