The lead-glass electromagnetic calorimeters for the magnetic spectrometers in Hall C at Jefferson Lab
چکیده انگلیسی

The electromagnetic calorimeters of the various magnetic spectrometers in Hall C at Jefferson Lab are presented. For the existing High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS) and Short Orbit Spectrometer (SOS), design considerations, relevant construction information, and comparisons of simulated and experimental results are included. The energy resolution of the HMS and SOS calorimeters is better than σ/E∼6%/E and pion/electron (π/eπ/e) separation of about 100:1 has been achieved in the energy range of 1–5 GeV. Good agreement has been observed between the experimental and simulated energy resolutions, but simulations systematically exceed experimentally determined π−π− suppression factors by close to a factor of two. For the Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS), presently under construction, details on the design and accompanying GEANT4 simulation efforts are given. The anticipated performance of the new calorimeter is predicted over the full momentum range of the SHMS. Good electron/hadron separation is anticipated by combining the energy deposited in an initial (preshower) calorimeter layer with the total energy deposited in the calorimeter.


• Construction and performance of lead glass calorimeters in JLab/Hall C are presented.
• ∼5%/E resolution, ∼100:1π/e separation is achieved in HMS calorimeter in GeV range.
• Simulated resolution of the HMS calorimeter is in good agreement with experiment.
• Simulated pion suppression of the HMS calorimeter exceeds experiment, by less than 2.
• Pion suppression of ∼400:1∼400:1 is predicted in projected SHMS calorimeter by simulations.
