Calorimetry will play a crucial role in reaching the physics goals at
a future electron-positron collider, such as ILC or CLIC. Since the
majority of the interesting physics processes are characterized by a
multi-jet final state, an excellent jet energy resolution is required.
This will be achieved by use of the Particle Flow algorithm, a
promising technique based on the reconstruction of individual
particles in jets, for which the future calorimeters will be
optimized. In this seminar, I will give an overview of the physics
motivations and an introduction to the Particle Flow including its
performance and impact on the calorimeter design. Then, I will focus
on hadron calorimeters which are currently under development for
experiments at ILC and CLIC colliders. I will describe various
calorimeter technological options, the recent R&D progress and the
test beam results. Finally, alternatives to the proposed Particle Flow
concept will be discussed.
