title = "Hadron and jet detection with a dual-readout calorimeter",
abstract = "Hadronic shower development in a copper-based fiber calorimeter is studied by simultaneously measuring the scintillation light and the Cherenkov light generated in this process. By comparing these two signals, the electromagnetic shower fraction can be measured event by event. Fluctuations in this fraction are the dominant contribution to the hadronic energy resolution. They are also responsible for the signal non-linearity and the non-Gaussian response function typical for hadron calorimeters. The dual-readout technique makes it possible to eliminate the effects of these fluctuations.",

note = "Funding Information: We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Tracy McAskill, Vladimir Nagaslaev, Alan Sill, Veronica Stelmakh, Yunyong Wang, Erika Washington and Kim Zinsmeyer to the construction of the DREAM detector. We thank CERN for making particle beams of excellent quality available. Our beam tests would not have been possible without the help we received from Claude Ferrari and Maurice Haguenauer. We thank K. Kuroda for loaning us the fiber hodoscopes, and A. Gorin and I. Manouilov for their assistance with the data acquisition system. This study was carried out with financial support of the United States Department of Energy, under contract DE-FG02-95ER40938, and the Advanced Research Program of the State of Texas.",
