Design, performance, and calibration of CMS hadron-barrel calorimeter wedges

Abstract: Extensive measurements have been made with pions, electrons and muons on four production wedges of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) hadron barrel (HB) calorimeter in the H2 beam line at CERN with particle momenta varying from 20 to 300 GeV/c. Data were taken both with and without a prototype electromagnetic lead tungstate crystal calorimeter (EB) in front of the hadron calorimeter. The time structure of the events was measured with the full chain of preproduction front-end electronics running at 34 MHz. Moving-… Show more

“…1.2. The HB and Endcap HE calorimeters [2] are sampling calorimeters which use brass as the absorber and plastic scintillator as the active material. Light from the plastic scintillator is wavelength-shifted and captured in WLS fibers which are fused to clear optical fibers for transport to the phototransducers and front-end electronics.…”
