Design, performance, and calibration of the CMS hadron-outer calorimeter

Abstract: The Outer Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL HO) of the CMS detector is designed to measure the energy that is not contained by the barrel (HCAL HB) and electromagnetic (ECAL EB) calorimeters. Due to space limitation the barrel calorimeters do not contain completely the hadronic shower and an outer calorimeter (HO) was designed, constructed and inserted in the muon system of CMS to measure the energy leakage. Testing and calibration of the HO was carried out in a 300 GeV/c test beam that improved the linearity and resol… Show more

“…This paper describes the performance of the CMS Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL). The measurement of the detector response started with the characterization and calibration of representative samples of all detector components in the laboratory using a test beam [3][4][5][6]. After assembly of the detector, the calibration was improved and validated using cosmic ray muons and LHC beam.…”

“…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. The HCAL Outer calorimeter (HO), which functions as a tail-catcher for hadronic showers and is useful for muon identification, uses the same active material and WLS fiber as the HB and HE calorimeters but uses the steel return yoke and magnet material of CMS as absorber [3]. The modifications to the HO calorimeter and its readout will be carried out during LS1; these are not included as a part of this upgrade.…”

“…The scintillation light is converted by wavelength-shifting fibers embedded in the scintillator and channeled to hybrid photodiode detectors via clear fibers. The outer calorimeter [6] utilizes the CMS magnet coil/cryostat and the steel of the magnet return yoke as its absorber, and uses the same active material and readout system as the barrel and endcap calorimeters. The forward calorimeter is based on Cherenkov light production in quartz fibers and is not discussed in this paper, due to its different signal time structure.…”
