Characterization of 1800 Hamamatsu R7600-M4 PMTs for CMS HF Calorimeter upgrade
نویسنده
چکیده
The Hadronic Forward calorimeters of the CMS experiment are Cherenkov calorimeters that use quartz fibers and 1728 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for readout. The CMS detector upgrade project requires the current Hamamatsu R7525 PMTs to be replaced with 4-anode, high quantum efficiency R7600-M4 PMTs. The new PMTs will improve the detector resolution, as well as the capability of removing fake events due to signal created in the glass window of the PMT. Here, we report the dark current, anode gain, transit time, transit time spread, pulse width, rise time, and linearity measurements performed on 1800 Hamamatsu R7600-200-M4 PMTs.

Performance of Hamamatsu 64-anode photomultipliers for use with wavelength–shifting optical fibres
Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 and R7600-00-M64 photomultiplier tubes will be used with wavelength–shifting optical fibres to read out scintillator strips in the MINOS near detector. We report on measurements of the gain, efficiency, linearity, crosstalk, and dark noise of 232 of these PMTs, of which 219 met MINOS requirements.
متن کاملForward physics in CMS : simulation of PMT hits in HF and Higgs mass reconstruction methods with a focus on forward jet tagging
Abnormally high energy events were seen in the Hadronic Forward (HF) calorimeter for pion and muon data during testbeam in 2004. Analysis of testbeam data suggested that such events were caused by particles traveling the entire length of HF and striking the photomultiplier (PMT) windows in the readout box behind HF. Charged particles traversing the window of the PMT emit Cerenkov radiation, whi...
متن کاملBoron and thermal neutron interactions on borosilica window photomultiplier tubes
The borosilica, a very common PMT window and envelope material, contains 5% Boron (1% 10B). The high cross section for 10B capturing thermal neutrons (3980 barn), is a concern for LHC experiments using borosilica window PMTs. This study investigates the rate and the size of the signals generated by thermal neutron boron interaction in borosilica window PMTs; Hamamatsu R7525-HA and R7600U-200-M4...
متن کاملCMS Hadronic Endcap Calorimeter Upgrade R&D Studies
Due to an expected increase in radiation damage in LHC, we propose to transform CMS Hadronic EndCap calorimeters to radiation hard quartz plate calorimeters. Quartz is proved to be radiation hard by the radiation damage tests with electron, proton, neutron and gamma beams. However, the light produced in quartz comes from Cerenkov process, which yields drastically fewer photons than scintillatio...

Silicon avalanche photodiodes (APD) have been studied extensively as a photodetector candidate for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS detector at LHC. This report presents measurements of the latest generation APDs made by Hamamatsu and EG&G, with particular emphasis on spectral response, excess noise factor, response to charged particles and radiation hardness. The strategy for the fut...
