Radiation hardness qualification of PbWO4 scintillation crystals for the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
Ensuring the radiation hardness of PbWO4 crystals was one of the main priorities during the construction of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS experiment at CERN. The production on an industrial scale of radiation hard crystals and their certification over a period of several years represented a difficult challenge both for CMS and for the crystal suppliers. The present article reviews ...
متن کاملThe CMS electromagnetic calorimeter Overview and status report
An overview status is given of the Lead Tungstate electromagnetic calorimeter which is being developped for the CMS detector at LHC. This includes the development status of PbWO4 crystals, the mechanical design of the calorimeter, the read-out and a brief look into results from test measurements in particle beams. Presented at the “5th International Conference on Advanced Technology and Particl...
متن کاملThe CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Readout
CMS is a general-purpose detector designed for use in the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN. The electromagnetic calorimeter will play an important role in electron and photon energy measurements. The benchmark process to evaluate and optimize its performance is H −→ γγ in the intermediate mass range (90 < mH < 150 GeV). For this purpose, each element of the readout chain has to be optimized....
متن کاملComparison between high-energy proton and charged pion induced damage in PbWO4 calorimeter crystals
A PbWO4 crystal produced for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS experiment at the LHC was cut into three equal-length sections. The central one was irradiated with 290 MeV/c positive pions up to a fluence of (5.67± 0.46)× 10 cm, while the other two were exposed to a 24 GeV/c proton fluence of (1.17 ± 0.11) × 10 cm. The damage recovery in these crystals, stored in the dark at room temper...
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...
