متن کاملStatus of Zero Degree Calorimeter for CMS Experiment
The Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) is integral part of the CMS experiment, especially, for heavy ion studies. The design of the ZDC includes two independent calorimeter sections: an electromagnetic section and a hadronic section. Sampling calorimeters using tungsten and quartz fibers have been chosen for the energy measurements. An overview of the ZDC is presented along with a current status of ...
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 کاملThe CMS electromagnetic calorimeter
From 2007 the new CERN proton proton collider will start collisions that could open new perspectives in the fields of high energy particle physics. The CMS experiment at the LHC is in advanced construction phase. In particular new physics could be discovered thanks to the CMS precise electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) made of about 75000 scintillating PbWO 4 crystals. A description of the ECAL ...
