26 Sep 2011 | Abstract: | We propose to build the Electromagnetic calorimeter for the HADES di-lepton
spectrometer. It will enable to measure the data on neutral meson production
from nucleus-nucleus collisions, which are essential for interpretation of
dilepton data, but are unknown in the energy range of planned experiments (2-10
GeV per nucleon). The calorimeter will improve the electron-hadron separation,
and will be used for detection of photons from strange resonances in elementary
and HI reactions.
Detailed description of the detector layout, the support structure, the
electronic readout and its performance studied via Monte Carlo simulations and
series of dedicated test experiments is presented.
The device will cover the total area of about 8 m^2 at polar angles between
12 and 45 degrees with almost full azimuthal coverage. The photon and electron
energy resolution achieved in test experiments amounts to 5-6%/sqrt(E[GeV])
which is sufficient for the eta meson reconstruction with S/B ratio of 0.4% in
Ni+Ni collisions at 8 AGeV. A purity of the identified leptons after the hadron
rejection, resulting from simulations based on the test measurements, is better
than 80% at momenta above 500 MeV/c, where time-of-flight cannot be used. | Source: | arXiv, 1109.5550 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
