Description
Calorimeters, detectors that measure the energy of particles by total absorption, play a crucial role in modern particle physics experiments.
Hermetic coverage of the interaction and precise measurement of the total energy in the events is crucial to identify new physics involving stable, weakly interacting particles which can only be detected by missing transverse energy in the overall energy balance of the event.
I will give an overview over the techniques to identify particles via missing transverse energy, and also present new developments in calorimetry for future collider detectors, with a focus on work done within the Cluster.
