Abstract

The CALICE collaboration is developing calorimeters for a future linear collider, and has collected a large amount of physics data during test beam efforts. For the analysis of these data, standard software available for linear collider detector studies is applied. This software provides reconstruction of raw data, simulation, digitization and data management, which is based on grid tools. The data format for analysis is compatible with the general linear collider software. Moreover, existing frameworks such as Marlin are employed for the CALICE software needs. The structure and features of the software framework are reported here as well as results from the application of this software to test beam data.
