A pointing Calorimeter for the SHADOWS Experiment — •Sebastian Ritter for the SHADOWS collaboration — Universität Mainz

The SHADOWS experiment is a proposed off-axis beam dump experiment on the 400 GeV/c proton beam from the CERN SPS aiming to measure the decay of Hidden Sector particles. To reconstruct particles that only decay into photons, the photon energies, and directions need to be measured. In this talk, a highly granular plastic scintillator-based electromagnetic calorimeter is presented, which aims to provide the necessary energy and pointing resolution to achieve this task in SHADOWS.
