The Presampler for the Forward and Rear Calorimeter in the ZEUS Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ZEUS detector at HERA has been supplemented with a presampler detector in front of the forward and rear calorimeters. It consists of a segmented scintillator array read out with wavelength-shifting fibers. We discuss its design, construction and performance. Test beam data obtained with a prototype presampler and the ZEUS prototype calorimeter demonstrate the main function of this detector, i.e. the correction for the energy lost by an electron interacting in inactive material in front of the calorimeter.

The ZEUS Forward Plug Calorimeter with Lead-Scintillator Plates and WLS Fiber Readout
A Forward Plug Calorimeter (FPC) for the ZEUS detector at HERA has been built as a shashlik lead-scintillator calorimeter with wave length shifter fiber readout. Before installation it was tested and calibrated using the X5 test beam facility of the SPS accelerator at CERN. Electron, muon and pion beams in the momentum range of 10 to 100 GeV/c were used. Results of these measurements are presen...

متن کاملPrecise Measurement of Jet Energies with the Zeus Detector
A method to correct the jet transverse energy has been developed for the ZEUS detector which attains an uncertainty better than 3%. The procedure is based on a combination of tracking and calorimeter information that optimises the resolution of reconstructed kinematic variables. The selected calorimeter clusters and tracks are referred to as Energy Flow Objects (EFOs). The conservation of energ...

Results obtained by the ZEUS collaboration on leading baryon production in the proton fragmentation region are presented. The reaction γp → NX, with N a proton or a neutron, is examined both at low and high photon virtuality. DEFINITIONS AND KINEMATICS At the HERA collider at DESY (Hamburg, Germany), 820 GeV protons collide with 27.5 GeV electrons or positrons. In Fig. 1(a), a diagram of the re...
متن کاملCharged Pion Energy Reconstruction in the ATLAS Barrel Calorimeter
The intrinsic performance of the ATLAS barrel and extended barrel calorimeters for the measurement of charged pions is presented. Pion energy scans (E = 20, 50, 200, 400 and 1000 GeV) at two pseudo-rapidity points (η = 0.3 and 1.3) and pseudorapidity scans (−0.2 < η < 1.8) with pions of constant transverse energy (ET = 20 and 50 GeV) are analysed. A simple approach, that accounts in first order...
