The SHADOWS calorimeter — •Claudia Caterina Delogu for the SHADOWS collaboration — Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz

The SHADOWS experiment, proposed for the 400 GeV/c proton beam at CERN SPS, is dedicated to exploring feebly interacting particles (FIPs) generated during proton interactions. This contribution specifically focuses on advancements related to the electromagnetic calorimeter of SHADOWS. In addressing the challenge of reconstructing particles that decay into photons, we present a conceptual design study of a plastic scintillator-based calorimeter designed to provide energy and direction measurements. As part of the ongoing experimental development, efforts are underway to study the SHADOWS electromagnetic calorimeter technology, including activities related to calorimeter and module design, scintillator-SiPM coupling, readout concept, prototyping, and test measurements. The pointing capability is essential for FIP detection and has been validated through GEANT4 simulations.
