Simulation of a prototype of the LDMX hadronic calorimeter and analysis of test beam data
The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of dark matter in the mass range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV. It does so by looking for missing momentum and energy in collisions of an electron beam and a tungsten target, which could potentially indicate the existence of dark matter. One of the main detector components of LDMX is the hadronic calorimeter, which is used
