The CMS crystal calorimeter for the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
The CMS crystal calorimeter, comprising about 80,000 scintillating lead tungstate crystals read out by avalanche photodiodes (in the barrel) and vacuum phototriodes (in the endcap), is designed to give excellent energy resolution in the demanding LHC environment. It is now entering the construction phase. A status report on the project is presented, including recent results from test beam verification, crystal production and photodetector development. Presented at the 1999 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A., 26-28 October 1999

The CMS ECAL project – Overview and status report
An overview is given of the Lead Tungstate (PbWO4) electromagnetic crystal calorimeter for the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva. This includes a description of the engineering design, the development of the calorimeter components, the read-out system and results obtained in particle beams. Presented at IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium, Toronto, Canada, November 19...
متن کاملRequirements for a Fine Grain Calorimeter Trigger
The physics motivations for a fine grain 1st level electron/photon trigger which exploits the properties of the CMS crystal calorimeter are briefly introduced. An implementation architecture that extends the present design of the CMS calorimeter trigger is described. We then discuss the characteristics and the requirements of the electronic circuits needed to implement the fine grained trigger ...
متن کاملECAL Front-End Monitoring in the CMS experiment
The CMS detector at LHC is equipped with a high precision lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL). The front-end boards and the photodetectors are monitored using a network of DCU (Detector Control Unit) chips located on the detector electronics. The DCU data are accessible through token rings controlled by an XDAQ based software component. Relevant parameters are transferred ...
متن کاملMeasurements of PbWO4 crystals behaviour under irradiation
Lead Tungstate crystals for the CMS detector at LHC have to withstand severe levels of radiation. Presented here are measurement techniques and results on crystal behaviour under gamma irradiation from tests at ETH/PSI in conditions similar to what is expected during operation of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter. Presented at International Workshop on Lead Tungstate crystals, Rome, Italy, Oc...
