Performance of the PRIMEX Electromagnetic Calorimeter
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the design and performance of the hybrid electromagnetic calorimeter for the PRIMEX experiment at Jefferson Laboratory. The detector was designed, constructed and used for high precision measurement of the lifetime of the neutral pion via the Primakoff effect. Calorimeter installation and commissioning was completed with first physics run in fall of 2004. Especially we present calorimeter energy and position resolution at the transition region between PWO crystals and lead glass.

Led Based Light Monitoring System for the Primex Experiment at Jefferson Lab
A multichannel Light Monitoring System (LMS) based on super-bright blue LED, has been developed for the high resolution electromagnetic hybrid calorimeter (HYCAL) at Jefferson Lab. The central part of the calorimeter consists of 1200 PbWO4 crystal modules. The prototype LMS has been constructed and tested, and has demonstrated a capability of providing an adequate light pulse per each channel, ...
متن کاملAn Updated High Precision Measurement of the Neutral Pion Lifetime via the Primakoff Effect
The PrimEx Collaboration has proposed to perform a high precision measurement of the two photon decay width of the neutral pion (Γπo→γγ). This measurement will provide a stringent test of the predictions of the U(1) axial anomaly in quantum chromodynamics. The first experimental data set was collected in 2004. A new level of experimental precision has been achieved by using the high intensity a...

A first prototype of a scintillator strip-based electromagnetic calorimeter was built, consisting of 26 layers of tungsten absorber plates interleaved with planes of 45×10×3 mm plastic scintillator strips. Data were collected using a positron test beam at DESY with momenta between 1 and 6 GeV/c. The prototype’s performance is presented in terms of the linearity and resolution of the energy

A prototype of the trigger and digital processing electronics for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS experiment, coupled to a prototype of the PbWO4 crystal calorimeter, was tested during summer 96 in the H4 beamline at the CERN SPS. A very successful operation was achieved for this system, which runs in synchronous and pipelined mode at the LHC clock frequency, and performs the basic t...
