For a hadron calorimeter active element there is considered a gaseous secondary emis-sion detector (150 micron gap, 50 kV/cm). Such one-stage parallel plate chamber must be a radiation hard, fast and simple. A model of such detector has been produced, tested and some characteristics are presented.
A thick gas electron multiplier is considered for radiation-hard detectors (hadron calorimeter). There was carried out technological and design study to optimize the element structure. The measurements results and the next plans are presented.
The single spin asymmetry of charge hadron production by a 40 GeV/c proton beam with 39% transverse polarization incident on nuclei (C, Cu) has been measured using the Focusing Double Arm Spectrometer (FODS). The measurements were carried out for hadrons with high Xt (82 deg. in c.m.) and with high Xf (one arm at 51 deg. and the other arm at 99 deg. in c.m.). The results are presented for charged pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons with high Xt.
Calibration of the forward CMS hadron calorimeters in situ by the LHC beam is proposed. Simulations show that bent crystal channeling technique is feasible at the LHC, and report the experience of IHEP Protvino in bending 70 GeV protons by 9 degrees (150 mrad) during 10 years in 1994-2004 experiments. Practical realization of calibration scheme based on simulations and previous experience is proposed.
We report on the response of a prototype CMS hadron calorimeter module to charged particle beams of pions, muons, and electrons with momenta up to 375 GeV/c. The data were taken at the H2 and H4 beamlines at CERN in 1995 and 1996. The prototype sampling calorimeter used copper absorber plates and scintillator tiles with wavelength shifting fibers for readout. The effects of a magnetic field of up to 3 Tesla on the response of the calorimeter to muons, electrons, and pions are presented, and the effects of an upstream lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter on the linearity and energy resolution of the combined calorimetric system to hadrons are evaluated. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and are used to optimize the choice of total absorber depth, sampling frequency, and longitudinal readout segmentation.
