Dear all, This week we have the pleasure of hosting Prof. Marie-Hélène Schune (IJCLAB), who will present on the concept of the GRAiNITA calorimeter, R&D project for a new calorimeter designed for FCC-ee. The seminar will take place in the J. Sacton Room this Friday, March 20th, at 2:00 PM. Please find further details below: ************************** Title: The GRAiNITA calorimeter Abstract: The GRAiNITA calorimeter represents a novel approach to high-granularity electromagnetic calorimetry, leveraging millimeter-sized scintillating crystal grains immersed in a transparent liquid to achieve excellent energy resolution and shower position. A small prototype has undergone testing using cosmic rays and test beams at CERN, demonstrating that the foreseen performances are at reach. This seminar will present the latest results from prototype testing, simulation studies, and ongoing R&D efforts, highlighting how GRAiNITA could contribute to advancing detector performance for the FCC-ee collider. Short bio: Marie-Hélène Schune is reserach director at CNRS at the Laboratoire de Physique des 2 Infinis Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab), CNRS/IN2P3, in Orsay, France. She is a high-energy physics, with a focus on flavour physics. She worked at LEP and on BaBar at Stanford. Currently, she is involved in the LHCb experiment. She has co-lead the Flavour Physics Working group for the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (2025). She is also working on an R&D project for a new calorimeter designed for FCC-ee, called GRAiNITA. ******************************* https://indico.iihe.ac.be/event/2459/ IIHE Invited seminar: The GRAiNITA calorimeter indico.iihe.ac.be We very much look forward to a well-attended seminar and to seeing many of you on Friday!
