Abstract

The super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will perform high precision measurements of jets and heavy flavor observables for a wide selection of nuclear collision systems, elucidating the microscopic nature of strongly interacting matter ranging from nucleons to the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. A prototype of the sPHENIX calorimeter system was tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility as experiment T-1044 in the spring of 2016. The electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) prototype is composed of scintillating fibers embedded in a mixture of tungsten powder and epoxy. The hadronic calorimeter (HCal) prototype is composed of tilted steel plates alternating with plastic scintillator. Results of the test beam reveal the energy resolution for electrons in the EMCal is $$2.8\%\oplus~15.5\%/\sqrt{E}$$ and the energy resolution for hadrons in the combined EMCal plus HCal system is $$13.5\%\oplus 64.9\%/\sqrt{E}$$. These results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed calorimeter system satisfies the sPHENIX specifications.

Status and New Results for the sPHENIX Calorimeter Systems

Journal Article Woody, C. - Journal of Physics. Conference Series

Here, the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC is planning a major upgrade that involves building an entirely new spectrometer, sPHENIX, that is based around the former BaBar solenoid magnet which will enable a comprehensive study of jets and heavy quarkonia in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It will include two new calorimeter systems, one electromagnetic and one hadronic, that will cover an acceptance of ±1.1 units in pseudorapidity and 2π in azimuth. The hadronic calorimeter will be a steel plate scintillating tile design that is read out with wavelength shifting fibers and silicon photomultipliers. It will be divided into two sections: onemore »« less

Design and Beam Test Results for the 2-D Projective sPHENIX Electromagnetic Calorimeter Prototype

Journal Article Aidala, C. A. ; Altaf, S. ; Belmont, R. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

sPHENIX is a new experiment under construction for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory which will study the quark-gluon plasma to further the understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCP) matter and interactions. A prototype of the sPHENIX electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) was tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility in Spring 2018 as experiment T-1044.

ALICE electromagnetic calorimeter prototype test

Technical Report Awes, Terry ; /Oak Ridge

This Memorandum of Understanding between the Test Beam collaborators and Fermilab is for the use of beam time at Fermilab during the Fall, 2005 Meson Test Beam Run. The experimenters plan to measure the energy, position, and time resolution of prototype modules of a large electromagnetic calorimeter proposed to be installed in the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The ALICE experiment is one of the three large approved LHC experiments, with ALICE placing special emphasis on the LHC heavy-ion program. The large electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) is a US initiative that is endorsed by the ALICE collaboration and is currently inmore »« less

Performance of a prototype CMS hadron barrel calorimeter in a test beam

Journal Article Bodek, A - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

The author reports on the performance of a prototype CMS Hadron Barrel Calorimeter (HCAL) module in a test beam. The prototype sampling calorimeter used copper absorber plates and scintillator tiles with wavelength shifting fibers for readout. Placing a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter in front of HCAL affects the linearity and energy resolution of the combined system to hadrons. The data are used to optimize the choice of total absorber depth, sampling frequency, and longitudinal readout segmentation.

Upgrade fo the CMS Hadron Outer Calorimeter with SIPMs

Conference Anderson, Jacob ; Freeman, James ; Los, Sergey ; ...

The CMS Hadron Outer Calorimeter (HO) is undergoing an upgrade to replace the existing photodetectors (HPDs) with SIPMs. The chosen device is the Hamamatsu 3 x 3mm 50 {mu}m pitch MPPC. The system has been developed to be a 'drop-in' replacement of the HPDs. A complete control system of bias voltage generation, leakage current monitoring, temperature monitoring, and temperature control using solid state Peltier coolers has been developed and tested. 108 channels of the system have been installed into CMS and operated for more than 2 years. The complete system of about 2200 channels is in production and will bemore »« less
