The GRAAL high resolution BGO calorimeter and its energy calibration and monitoring system
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the electromagnetic calorimeter built for the GRAAL apparatus at the ESRF. Its monitoring system is presented in detail. Results from tests and the performance obtained during the first GRAAL experiments are given. The energy calibration accuracy and stability reached is a small fraction of the intrinsic detector resolution. Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 2 February 2008

Calibration of the L3 BGO Calorimeter Using an RFQ Accelerator
An improved calibration technique based on a radio-frequency-quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator is presented. A high-intensity flux of 17.6 MeV photons, produced by radiative capture of 1.85 MeV protons from the RFQ in a lithium target, is used to calibrate 11000 crystals of the L3 BGO calorimeter. In this paper, we present results obtained for the calibration of 1997 and 1998 L3 data samples. For th...

A new calibration technique based on radiative capture of protons from an RFQ accelerator in a lithium target, which makes use of the resultant high intensity flux of 17 .6 MeV photons, has been developed and tested . The technique is capable of calibrating the thousands of BGO crystals in the L3 electromagnetic calorimeter at once, with an absolute accuracy of better than 1 % in 1-2 h. Systema...
متن کاملProperties of Bismuth Gernanate and Its Use for Electromagnetic Calorimetry*
The calorimetric and fluorescence properties of Bismuth Germanate are discussed and compared to those of NaI(TI1). Results on the energy resolution of BGO are presented for energies up to 50 MeV; the energy and position resolution are studied by Montecarlos at higher energies. The performance of a 4x BGO e.m. calorimeter is compared to that of NaI and is specified for a compact fieldless calori...
متن کاملCalibration and monitoring for crystal calorimetry
Crystal calorimetry provides excellent energy resolution in high energy and nuclear physics. The light output of heavy crystal scintillators, however, suffers from not negligible damage in radiation environment. A precision calibration and monitoring thus is crucial for maintaining crystal precision in situ. The performance of calibration and monitoring approaches used by BaBar, CLEO and L3 exp...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence Calibration and Correction of the DAMPE BGO Electromagnetic Calorimeter
A BGO electromagnetic calorimeter is built for DArk Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE) mission. The temperature effect of BGO ECAL has been investigated with a thermal vacuum experiment. The light output of BGO crystal depends on temperature significantly. Temperature coefficient of each BGO crystal bar has been calibrated, and a correction method is also presented in this paper.
