Chromatic calorimetry introduces a novel approach to calorimeter design in High Energy Physics (HEP) by integrating Quantum Dot (QD) technology into traditional homogeneous calorimeters. The tunable emission spectra of QDs provide new possibilities for energy reconstruction and potentially improved particle identification in homogeneous devices. This paper presents the initial conceptual design of a chromatic calorimeter aimed at validating the feasibility of QD-based chromatic calorimetry. The study evaluates its expected performance through detailed simulations, comparing the results to the existing calorimetric technologies. By embedding QDs with distinct emission properties within scintillators, we aim to improve both timing resolution and longitudinal segmentation, thus opening new avenues for precision measurements in future HEP experiments. While further development and validation are required, QD-enhanced detectors may represent a viable option for future HEP experiments, providing an additional tool for addressing the evolving demands of particle detection.
