Pion Response and Resolution in a Combined Scintillator Calorimeter System in the FNAL Testbeam

This note presents results obtained with the combined scintillator-SiPM calorimeter system consisting of the Scintillator Electromagnetic Calorimeter, Analogue Hadronic Calorimeter and Tail Catcher & Muon Tracker in the energy range 4–32 GeV at the FNAL testbeam campaign in 2009. The analysis includes longitudinal profiles as well as response linearity and energy resolution of pions for standard and software compensation reconstruction. The results are compared to several Geant 4 physics lists in software versions 9.6 and 10.1.
