Study of the CMS hadron calorimeter barrel/endcap transition region
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the expected response of CMS calorimetry to single hadrons and jets in the transition region between the barrel and endcap for a number of different geometries of the ”cable path”. These results are an important element in choosing the optimal design for the hadron calorimeter in an effort to optimise the Emiss t resolution of the detector.

We present a description of the CMS central hadron calorimeter. We describe the production of the 1996 CMS hadron testbeam module. We show the results of the quality control tests of the testbeam module. We present some results of the 1995 CMS hadron testbeam. The design of the CMS detector starts with the 4 T solenoidal magnet of length 13 m and inner diameter 5.9 m. The magnet determines many...
متن کاملDynamic Range of the CMS HB & HE Electronics
This note describes a study of the maximum tower energies expected in the CMS HB & HE detectors from the QCD production of 2 jets at the LHC. This study shows that the maximum tower for the expected lifetime of CMS at the LHC should never exceed 3.5 TeV in any compartment of the barrel or endcap hadron calorimeter. ) email address [email protected]
متن کاملThe CMS crystal calorimeter for the LHC
The CMS crystal calorimeter, comprising about 80,000 scintillating lead tungstate crystals read out by avalanche photodiodes (in the barrel) and vacuum phototriodes (in the endcap), is designed to give excellent energy resolution in the demanding LHC environment. It is now entering the construction phase. A status report on the project is presented, including recent results from test beam verif...
متن کاملThe production of radiation tolerant vacuum phototriodes and their HV filters for the Compact Muon Solenoid endcap electromagnetic calorimeter
Particle detectors which will operate at the Large Hadron Collider face unprecedented challenges in both the number of active detector elements and in operating without maintenance in a high radiation environment for many years. In the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector the scintillating crystal electromagnetic calorimeter uses vacuum photodetectors in the endcap where the lifetime neutron an...
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...
