Performance of Silicon Photomultiplers with the CMS HCAL Front-End Electronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have measured the performance of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) together with the front-end electronics developed for the Compact Muon Solenoid hadron calorimeter. We find a clean separation of the single PE peak above pedestal noise fluctuations, providing a signal to noise of about 8. The SIPMs may be useful in the near term for readout of the outer (HO) scintillators to significantly enhance the sensitivity to minimum ionizing particles for use in the muon trigger. In the longer term, the SiPMs may be useful for upgrading the readout to accommodate a luminosity upgrade.

Identification and Mitigation of Anomalous Signals in CMS Hadronic Calorimeter
The CMS HCAL detector occasionally records anomalous large energy signals that correspond to particles hitting the transducers. Anomalous signals in HCAL can also be produced by rare random discharges of the readout detectors. We present a summary of various sources of anomalous signals, the algorithms developed to identify them, and the performance of these algorithms in the CMS collision data...

متن کاملCms Calorimeter Trigger Implementation and Performance
For most of the CMS ECAL, a 6 crystal by 6 crystal array of physical calorimeter towers is mapped into trigger towers. There is a 1:1 correspondence between the HCAL and ECAL trigger towers. The trigger tower size is equivalent to the HCAL physical towers, .087 x .087 in η x φ. The φ size remains constant in ∆φ and the η size remains constant in ∆η out to an η of 2.1, beyond which the η size do...
