Temperature Dependence Calibration and Correction of the DAMPE BGO Electromagnetic Calorimeter
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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 کاملCalibration 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 fast, effective calibration technique has been developed for future Superconducting Supercollider (SSC) calorimeters based upon the radiative capture of protons from a pulsed Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator in a fluoride target . The intense flux of low energy photons acts as a clean "pulse generator" calibration signal equivalent to 20 GeV or more . This calibration technique ha...

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...
