Integration concepts for highly granular scintillator-based calorimeters

The Analog Hadron Calorimeter is an option for the hadronic calorimeter of a future linear col- lider detector, based on scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers. The high channel density compared to current collider detectors requires an integration of the readout electronics into the active detector layers. The electronics developed by the CALICE Collaboration is very flexible, and its use in the Analog Hadron Calorimeter engineering prototype as well as options for different silicon photomultipliers and different scintillator geometries are discussed.
