First CALICE results from test-beam data

Highly granular calorimeters are mandatory in the particle flow concept for ILC detectors. The CALICE Collaboration has built prototypes of finely segmented electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters and operated them in beam tests in 2006. First analyses reproduce known physics results and the performance of the detectors is close to expectations from Monte Carlo simulations. Tracks have been reconstructed inside the electromagnetic calorimeter. The measured data will be used in future analyses to test and improve particle flow algorithms and shower models.
