Description
Summary:The direct coupling of silicon photomultiplier to the scintillator tile is considered to be the main option for active elements of the highly granular hadron calorimeter developed for future linear collider experiments. In this study, the response of the scintillator-SiPM system to minimum ionising particles was simulated using the optical photon transport functionality available in the Geant4 package. The uniformity of response for both flat tile and tile with dimple was estimated from the simulations and compared to the experimental results obtained in the previous studies.
