Green, D

Detectors for the SSC face a radiation field which is very dependent on angle. For example, the SDC ``barrel`` calorimeter can function well for 100 year operation of the SSC running at desip luminosity, while the small angle ``forward calorimeter`` faces Grad of radiation in the same period. The SDC ``endcap`` calorimeter is in an intermediate location. One wishes to examine whether it might be possible to use conventional scintillator technology with periodic refurbishment in the endcap- The angular range covered by the endcap spans the region, 1.4 < {eta} < 3.0. In this note, only the hadronic (HAD) compartment is considered. The electromagnetic (EM) compartment is considered elsewhere.
