DHCAL R&D in Russia: status & plans

(V. Ammosov) • Tuning of RPC performance– Decided to use glass for anode and cathode – Decrease the charge in the gas gap– Aim: minimize aging effects and maximize

rate-handling capability.– Joint adjustment of detector and RO

electronics.

DHCal Energy Resolution(K. Beloous)

• Each distribution is fitted by a Gaussian

• Fit is iterative in the specified interval

/ is used as E resolution

• Some problems at low energies.

• The results of the fitting procedure is not stable with respect to changing low limit of the fitting region.

Cell sizeNumber of hits strongly depends on the size of the cell.

It reaches rather small value of 17 hits for cell size 5 cm.

This leads to some dependence in energy resolution, more pronounced at low energies.

LC-cal mtg, 09-12-02

•Some resolution improvement when increasing the efficiency

•The improvement has almost the same order of magnitude for different energies

Read-out efficiency

Signal overlapping

• Charge leakage - ionization produced by a particle could induce charge not only on the nearest Pad but on some of it neighbors

• Crosstalk - read-out of the channel could cause other channels to be fired

under assumption that signal overlapping does not depend on particle energy or position and therefore stays the same for each hit

• Number of additionally fired cells is calculated through Poisson distribution

• Energy resolution practically does not depend on signal overlapping

Conclusion

• Some obvious dependencies of energy resolution– decreasing when the cell size increases– small improvement when the read-out

efficiency increases

• Energy resolution practically does not depend on signal overlapping

• Choosing of the cell size can done after studying the reconstruction.

Future Plans

• insert Si planes (this month)

• go to test beam (low energy Frascati, high energy DESY/CERN)

• analyse two particle impact

• substitute the absorber: Pb to W (next year)(?)

• study new optical device (i.e. multianod PM’s)

• combined test with HCAL(?!)

•Why do not insert other (Prague) Si detectors(?)

Conclusions• The proposed prototype is going to be completed (just

insert Si planes)• A preliminar beam test at CERN with a partial set up gave

reasonable and incouraging results• Tests with the complete detector are necessary to answer to

all questions (be patient for some months)• …. but it they will be successfully answered, why do not

include a calorimeter made following this technique into the general LC simulation and Pattern recognition? (this is also a PRC recommendation)
