The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a next-generation collider designed to enable precision studies of the quark and gluon structure of nucleons and nuclei across a broad kinematic range. Achieving its physics goals requires electromagnetic calorimetry that accurately reconstructs electrons and photons while providing excellent pion discrimination. The Barrel Imaging Calorimeter (BIC) is being...

Calorimeters play a critical role in current and future high-energy and nuclear physics experiments, from the LHC to the FCC, the EIC, and future muon colliders. Building on the success of earlier dual-readout calorimeter (DREAM) studies, we developed the High-Granularity Dual-Readout Module (HG-DREAM) at Texas Tech University. Compared to the original DREAM module using photomultiplier tubes,...

We present initial results from measurements of a new multi-layer electromagnetic calorimeter prototype constructed as part of the CalVision R&D program on dual-readout calorimetry. The prototype comprises a main volume of BGO crystals arranged in a 5x5 matrix and a higher granularity front section composed of PbWO$_4$, providing good containment for multi-GeV-scale EM showers. Each BGO...

For future collider designs focussing on producing Higgsstrahlung events, the majority of final states contain multiple jets from the hadronic decays of W, Z, and Higgs bosons. To distinguish between the W and Z bosons, a high-resolution calorimeter is required to reconstruct the jet energy. Dual readout calorimetery utilizes the differences in the Cherenkov and scintillation profiles of the...

In the approaching post-LHC era, it is clear that current calorimeter technologies need improvements in energy resolution to achieve the physics goals of a Higgs factory. Dual-readout calorimetry does this by comparing signals of both scintillation and Cherenkov light to more accurately determine the electromagnetic fraction in a hadronic shower. To this end, the CalVision group has...

We present a GPU-accelerated optical simulation approach based on Simphony (sic), integrating the GeGeDe and edep-sim packages with Simphony through a thin plugin interface. Simphony, based on NVIDIA OptiX and developed as a fork of Opticks, performs GPU-accelerated optical-photon transport, including scattering, absorption, and detection. As part of this work, Simphony has been extended with...

Three-dimensional projection scintillator detectors have demonstrated excellent imaging and tracking performance in recent accelerator-based neutrino experiments. To build on this concept, Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and collaborators are developing a liquid implementation that removes physical voxel boundaries while preserving fine-grained three-dimensional reconstruction. The...

Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) has emerged as a compelling medium for next-generation, large-scale neutrino experiments. By combining the high light yield of organic scintillators with the directionality and cost-effectiveness of Cherenkov detectors, WbLS offers enhanced particle detection opportunities. Following benchtop studies characterizing the fundamental properties of WbLS,...

Future collider calorimeters will require highly granular, precision-timed photon detection to fully exploit the spatial and temporal development of particle showers. We present FLASH, a digital SiPM concept based on SPAD arrays with direct single-photon time stamping at the O(10–50 ps) level. This architecture replaces integrated analog waveforms with sparse, time-tagged photon hits,...

Particle flow calorimetry builds on the high precision of the tracking system with high granularity in the calorimeter that can distinguish the source of energy depositions. The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal) plays a key role in this technique. Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) employed in the ECal, with sub-mm^2 pixels and sub-nanosecond timing, offer the potential for extremely good...

The ePIC Longitudinal Forward Hadronic Calorimeter (LFHCal) is a steel plastic scintillator sampling calorimeter with SiPM-on-tile readout, covering a pseudorapidity range of (1.2 < $\eta$ < 3.5). It consists of 60 layers of steel absorbers and scintillator tiles, corresponding to approximately 6 interaction lengths. The large number of SiPMs required for the detector makes fast, reliable, and...
