Description

The Digital Hadron Calorimeter (DHCAL) is a large scale prototype of an imaging calorimeter, using Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as active medium. The calorimeter counts close to 500,000 readout channels. In this talk we will present the response of the DHCAL to hadrons and positrons in the energy range of 2 to 120 GeV. After detailing the event selection, the linearity of the response and the energy resolution will be discussed.
