Status of the Micromegas semi-DHCAL

boards with integrated electronics and a micro-mesh. Results of character-ization tests of such boards are shown. Micromegas as a proportional detector is wellsuited for semi-digital hadronic calorimetry. In order to quantify the gain in perfor-mance when using one or more thresholds, simulation studies are being carried out,some of which will be reported in this contribution.
