Studies of the response of the prototype CMS hadron calorimeter, including magnetic field effects, to pion, electron, and muon beams

Abstract: 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 u… Show more

“…To compensate for the radiation damage at ¡ ¢ ¡ above 2.0, HE has extra longitudinal segments to allow correction for signal loss. Various sections of the calorimeter have been tested using pion, proton, electron and muon beams [2]. For the test beam at CERN a large motion table has been constructed on which a 40 segment of the calorimeter can be placed.…”
