Installation and commissioningInstallation and commissioning
The first fragment of the ECAL0 consisting of 56 modules was made for 2012 Run.
The first part of ECAL0 installed in COMPASS was successfully prepared for 2012 GPD pilot run data taking and operated well during October-December. Figures show beam load over ECAL0, MAPD amplitude variation and temperature inside the ECAL0 box.

ConditionsConditions
October 12, 2013 ECAL0 calibration with muon beam
For ECAL0 module deposited fraction energy e/γ Eactive ~16%, 1 GeV e/γ -> 160 MeV
Energy deposition from muon at 160 GeV -> 34.3 MeV in cell -> muon peak corresponds to 214 MeV
All channels were roughly settled in according to this procedure.

Calibration energy coefficient correction based on LED_in_spill / LED_out_of_spill.
This correction is different muon/pion beams due to different backgrounds.
Muon beam -> average ~1.65%
Pion beam-> 4.75%

Nonlinearity of MAPD response at 5GeV was measured to be about 5% and it also can be taken into account on the cluster reconstruction level.

Cluster reconstruction • Cluster position -position of a central cell • Cluster energy -sum of energy deposition in 9 (3x3) cells • Cluster position -position of a central cell • Cluster energy -sum of energy deposition in 9 (3x3) cells
Physical calibration:• π-beam of 190 GeV/c with intensity 0.5 106 s-1 • LH target• Special ECAL0-based trigger was developed. • ECAL0 based trigger: total energy deposition in ECAL0 >6GeV (3 GeV)• Working tracking for primary vertex reconstruction • Final calibration constants were obtained by moving π0 mass peak to it’s nominal position
Physical data sample collected with muon beam demonstrates well-visible π0 peak in γγ mass spectrum. Its position is shifted from the nominal because precise π0 calibration was not used yet for production of the data.
The time resolution of cluster depends on cluster energy and for energy above 1GeV is less 1 ns
ResultsResults
1. Part (56 modules) of ECAL0 for 2012 DVCS PILOT RUN built up and put into operation. It demonstrated good performance: E and T resolutions, linearity and stability fully correspond to expectations.
2. The signal from π0 decays was seen in ECAL0
3. Data for calibration with π- was taken and are being used.
4. The full scale ECAL0 is under production. 200 modules will be produced at ISMA (Kharkov, Ukraine) till the end of this year. We are going to produce Registration Units as soon as we get new batch of photodiodes.
5. Beam tests in Bonn at ELSA: studying angular dependences
6. The design of the ECAL0 modules is could be used for the NICA/SPD ECAL.
