s . in s - de t ] 2 7 Ju l 2 00 5 The Upgraded DØ Detector DØ Collaboration
The DØ experiment enjoyed a very successful data-collection run at the Fermilab Tevatron collider between 1992 and 1996. Since then, the detector has been upgraded to take advantage of improvements to the Tevatron and to enhance its physics capabilities. We describe the new elements of the detector, including the silicon microstrip tracker, central fiber tracker, solenoidal magnet, preshower de...
متن کاملA scintillator tile-fiber preshower detector for the CDF central calorimeter
The physics program at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider will continue to explore the high energy frontier of particle physics until the commissioning of the LHC at CERN. The luminosity increase provided by the Main Injector requires upgrades beyond those implemented for the first stage of the Tevatron’s Run II physics program. The upgrade of the CDF calorimetry includes: (i) the replacement durin...
متن کاملDiscrepancies in the Monte Carlo simulations of propagation of ultra-high en- ergy cosmic-ray photons in the geomagnetic field
The discrepancies in the results produced by the two most commonly used Monte Carlo programs for simulation of propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic ray photons in the presence of the geomagnetic field are presented. Although photons have not yet been discovered in the cosmic ray flux at highest energies, the capabilities of the present cosmic ray detectors make their discovery possible, acco...
متن کاملCharacteristics of geomagnetic cascading of ultra-high energy photons at the southern and northern sites of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Cosmic-ray photons above 10 eV can convert in the geomagnetic field and initiate a preshower, i.e. a particle cascade before entering the atmosphere. We compare the preshower characteristics at the southern and northern sites of the Pierre Auger Observatory. In addition to a shift of the preshower patterns on the sky due to the different pointing of the local magnetic field vectors, the fact th...
متن کاملBeam tests of lead tungstate crystal matrices and a silicon strip preshower detector for the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter
Further tests of lead tungstate crystal matrices made in high energy electron beams in 1996, using new crystals, new APDs and an improved test setup confirm that an energy resolution of better than 0.6% at 100 GeV can be obtained when the longitudinal uniformity of the struck crystal is adequate. Light loss measurements under low dose irradiation are reported. It is shown that there is no loss ...
