The CMS barrel calorimeter response to particle beams from 2 to 350 GeV/c

Abstract: The response of the CMS barrel calorimeter (electromagnetic plus hadronic) to hadrons, electrons and muons over a wide momentum range from 2 to 350 GeV/c has been measured. To our knowledge, this is the widest range of momenta in which any calorimeter system has been studied. These tests, carried out at the H2 beam-line at CERN, provide a wealth of information, especially at low energies. The analysis of the differences in calorimeter response to charged pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons and a detailed dis… Show more

“…The response to π + is greater on average than the response to π − at low energy, which agrees with Ref. [32], where the difference is attributed to a charge-exchange effect (i.e. the production of additional neutral pions in showers initiated by π + ).…”

“…A calorimeter is said to be compensating [85] if R h = R γ , and non-compensating if R h < R γ . The CMS calorimeters are strongly non-compensating: the CMS HCAL has been measured [6] to have R h /R γ ≈ 0.7, and for the crystal ECAL lower values, of the order of 0.45-0.5, are assumed.…”

“…In the forward region, the granularity is further improved by the preshower detector (ES) 1.65 < |η| < 2.6 which consists of 2 orthogonal planes of silicon strips. Further information about the ECAL can be found in [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…The CMS HCAL contains 9072 readout channels organized into four subsystems: barrel (HB, 2592 channels), endcap (HE, 2592 channels), outer (HO, 2160 channels) and forward (HF, 1728 channels). The performance of the HB, HE, HO, and HF were also extensively investigated and are reported in [2,[6][7][8][9].…”
