EUROPEAN LABORATORY FOR PARTICLE PHYSICS CERN CMS TN/95-198 Radiation Environment Simulations for the CMS Detector
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides an overview of the most important radiation issues at the CMS experiment at LHC and gives a review of the simulations performed and the main results obtained with the FLUKA code during the last three years. The main emphasis is put on recent results, reported in the CMS Technical Proposal or those obtained thereafter. It is shown that for most of the CMS subdetectors proper radiation shielding is vital in order to guarantee a reliable operation and sufficient life span of the detectors. In addition new results on induced activity are presented.

Summary of the CMS Discovery Potential for the MSSM SUSY Higgses
This work summarises the present understanding of the expected MSSM SUSY Higgs reach for CMS. Many of the studies presented here result from detailed detector simulations incorporating final CMS detector design and response. With 30 fb the h → γγ and h → bb channels allow to cover most of the MSSM parameter space. For the massive A,H,H MSSM Higgs states the channels A,H → ττ and H → τν turn out...
متن کاملThe ATLAS and CMS Plans for the LHC Luminosity Upgrade
In January 2007 the CERN director general announced the plan for the staged upgrade of the LHC luminosity. The plan foresees a phase 1 upgrade reaching a peak luminosity of 3 × 10 cms followed by phase reaching up to 10 cms. We discuss the physics potential and the experimental challenges of an upgraded LHC running. The detector R&D needed to operate ATLAS and CMS in a very high radiation envir...
متن کاملMeasurements of Lead Tungstate crystals behaviour under irradiation for the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter at the LHC
Lead Tungstate crystals will be used as calorimetric medium in high energy physics at CERN, in a particularly hostile radiation environment. Methods of testing their behaviour under irradiation are discussed here and are illustrated by some R&D results. Presented at 5th European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems, (Fontevraud, France, September 1999) For the CMS C...
متن کاملStudy of dE/dx Measurements with the CMS Tracker
We report in this note a study of particle identification by pulse height information in the CMS tracker, in the context of isolated tracks as well as tracks inside a hadron jet. We have used the simulation package CMSIM and the tracker layout described in the Technical Design Report. We describe the discrimination efficiency between π and K as well as the electron identification capability of ...
متن کاملNear Future Upgrades for the CMS Pixel Detector
The silicon pixel detector is the innermost component of the CMS tracking system, providing high precision space point measurements of charged particle trajectories. The current pixel detector is designed to operate at a maximum luminosity of 1 × 1034cm−2s−1. Before 2018 the instantaneous luminosity of the LHC is expected to reach 2 × 1034cm−2s−1, which will significantly increase the number of...
