Summary of Studies of SiD ECal Manual Calibration

SiD is one validated detector design for the International Linear Collider with strength in particle flow calorimetery. The silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter greatly contributes to this. Layers of highly granular (13 mm² pixels) silicon detectors embedded in thin gaps (∼1 mm) between DENS-24 tungsten alloy plates give the SiD ECal energy resolution on the scale of 20%/ √ E. For use within the full SiD simulation, a robust, nonlinear calibration technique is developed that considers the effect of leakage. This calibration achieves good precision for a wide range of true particle energies all with the calibration error per energy resolution remaining below 3%.
