LC HCAL R&D Goals at ANL - Motivation Physics Requirement : separate W, Z using dijet mass in hadronic decay mode (~70% BR) Detector Goal : measure jets with energy resolution /E ~ 30%/E • Optimize HCAL to be used with ECAL and Tracker in E-flow jet reconstruction – • Charged particles ~ 60% of jet energy -> Tracker • Photons ~ 25% of jet energy -> ECAL • Neutral Hadrons ~ 15% of jet energy -> HCAL Calorimeter challenge : charged/neutral shower separation requires high granularity, both transverse and longitudinal, to reconstruct showers in 3-D
LC HCAL R&D Goals at ANL – Scope of Work • Optimize, in simulation, the design for an HCAL which, when used in an E-flow jet reconstruction algorithm, can reconstruct jets with /E ~ 30%/E. • study absorber type/thickness with JAS, standalone GEANT3 program • tune transverse granularity and longitudinal segmentation in JAS • test both analog and digital readout techniques • optimize E-flow algorithm • Investigate the feasibility of using Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as the active media in the HCAL. • avalanche vs streamer mode • noise reduction, signal optimization, readout schemes • Develop electronics readout schemes for the optimized HCAL. • digital vs multi-threshold analog • efficient data compression

E-Flow Algorithm Systematic Approach : Tracks first (60%), Photons next (25%), Neutral hadrons last (15%) • 1st step -Track extrapolation thru Cal – substitute for Cal cells in road (core + tuned outlyers) – Cal granularity optimized for separation of charged/neutral clusters • 2nd step - Photon finder (use shower shape info) • 3rd step -Neutral hadron clusterer • 4th step –Jet Algorithm on E-flow objects • or • 3rd step -Jet Algorithm on Tracks and Photons • 4th step –include remaining Cal cells in jet (cone?)
RPC Readout Development • Using RPC from FNAL (P. Mazur) : • size: 25 x 25 cm2 • gas gap 2 mm • glass plates 2 mm thickness • resistive electrodes 40 kOhm/square • pad readout behind the anode electrode • gas: Ar 30% Isob. 8% Freon 62% (a la BELLE) • pad structure of 4x4 cm2, 2x2 cm2, 1x1cm2 • coupled to to give configurations • all pads + frame • all pads • 5(4x4)+2(2x2) cm2 • 4x4+2(2x2) cm2
Chamber Operation • avalanche mode observed for HV < 8.2 kV, few pC charge • change to streamer mode HV > 8.5 kV few 100pC • streamer mode has multiple streamers as HV increases, charge of a streamer is a slow function of the HV • streamers are seperated in time, but merge at HV > 9.2 kV • efficiency > 95% • single rate compatible with cosmics
Readout of pads • size of the pad is varied for finding the spatial extension of the induced charge • effective size has a radius of about 6 cm • known to depend on the resistivity of the HV electrodes, here: 40 kOhm/square • measure charge of streamers for events at readout pad, compare with those taken at a distance of ~ 6 cm Cross talk (intergration time here: 100 ns) Next steps : higher resistivity of electrodes reduces lateral coupling of the pads.
Summary • Starting studies of HCAL optimization for E-Flow jet analysis • optimal transverse cell size and longitudinal segmentation • optimal absorber material/thickness • analog vs digital readout • Starting development of E-Flow analysis tools • cluster algorithms for analog/digital modes • separation algorithms for clusters • Studying characteristics of RPC readout for HCAL
