A forward LYSO crystal calorimeter for the SuperB project

The SuperB project is an asymmetric e⁺e^- accelerator of 10³⁶ cm^-2 s^-1 luminosity capable of collecting a data sample of 50-75 ab^-1 in five years of running. A calorimeter for a SuperB factory will be described; in particular its design, geometry study and related simulations as well as R&D on LYSO crystals, a project for the mechanical structure and development on readout electronics. A Test Beam is foreseen for the year 2010 at the BTF (Beam Test Facility in Frascati) and at CERN to cover the energy range between 100 MeV and 7 GeV.
