Description
The Detector R&D Collaboration for Calorimeters (DRD6) was established at CERN to pursue research in calorimeter technologies and concepts for future colliders. While the technologies under development vary greatly in both nature and maturity, the common complexities of detector testing led to the formation of a test beam and tools and software working group to tackle these challenges through shared expertise, common tools, and coordinated efforts. Calorimeter test beams are particularly challenging given the scale required for particle containment and often the integration of different technologies for electromagnetic and hadronic interactions. Within DRD6, there are many electromagnetic calorimeter concepts that could benefit from the electron beam LESA could provide. We will highlight the plans of the working group, as well as the beam parameters, services, and instrumentation that could make LESA an ideal location, with the primary interest being variable beam energy, tracking capabilities, EUDAQ integration of beam instrumentation, and the ability to accommodate large detectors.
