  2. (a) Secondary Emission Sensor Modules for Calorimeters • Basic Idea: A Dynode Stack is an Efficient High Gain Radiation Sensor • High Gain & Efficient (yield ~1 e/mip for CsSb coating) • Compact (micromachined metal<1mm thick/stage) • Rad-Hard (PMT dynodes>100 GRads) • Fast • Simple SEM monitors proven at accelerators • Rugged/Could be structural elements (see below) • Easily integrated compactly into large calorimeters low dead areas or services needed. SE Detector Modules Are Applicable to: - Energy-Flow Calorimeters - Polarimeters - Forward Calorimeters

  3. (a) Secondary Emission Sensor Modules for Calorimeters Basic SEM Calorimeter Sensor Module Form: “A Flat PMT without a Photocathode”: - The photocathode is replaced by an SEM film on Metal. • Stack of 5-10 metal sheet dynodes in a metal “window”-ceramic wall vacuum package about 5-10 mm thick x 10-25 cm square, adjustable in shape/area to the transverse shower size. • Sheet dynodes/insulators made with MEMS/micromachining techniques are newly available, in thicknesses as fine as ~0.1 mm/dynode • Ceramic wall thickness can be ~2mm, moulded and fired from commonly available greenforms (Coors, etc.) • Outer electrodes (SEM cathode, anode) can be thick metal, serving as absorber and structural elements.

  7. Future of SEM Calorimeter Sensors • Iowa/Fairfield Propose Constructing Prototype SEM sensor module with gain of 105, 8 cm x 8cm.

  8. b) Cerenkov Compensation Precis • Basic Idea: Cerenkov Light is most sensitive to electrons (photons) Ionization sensitive to neutrons, hadrons, electrons Use these 2 measurements to correct calorimeter energy – stochastic & constant terms - Detect both Cerenkov Signal Ec and Ionization Ei on the same shower. - For pure e-m showers, normalize the detected energies so that Ei = Ec = Eem. - For hadrons, only when only p0 are produced does Eh ~ Ei ~ Ec. - As Eh fluctuates more into n, p+-, etc., Ec decreases faster than Ei. - On an Ec vs Ei scatter plot, the fluctuation is correlated/described by a straight line with slope a<1, from which the constant a is defined by a = a/(1+a). - The Ec vs Ei correlation yields an estimate of the compensated E as: Ecomps = Ei + a(Ei-Ec), where the constant a is different for each calorimeter material/design. For electrons, Ecomps = Ei = Ec, since (Ei-Ec) = 0 - No “suppression” needed for compensation, thus more active material can be used, up to 100%, thus reducing the stochastic term. - Two independent measurements enable tuning the constant term to near zero.

  9. Cerenkov Compensation MC Results • GEANT MC Checked by reproducing data: - pions in Lscint (10% stochastic, 10% constant term, FNAL E1A) - pions in PbGlass (35% stochastic, 10% constant – Serpekov) - e in PbGlass (5% stochastic) - e in Cu/Quartz fibers(1.5%) (80% stochastic, 1% constant – CMS) • Infinite media (LAr, Lscint, BaF2, NaI(Tl)), counting detected ionization and Cerenkov light yields (filters for scintillators): - sE/E ~ [11%-16%] E-1/2, with constant terms <1%. • Model Cu absorber Sampling Fiber Calorimeter 15% 0.8 mm clear fibers, 35% 0.8 mm scintillating fibers: - sE/E ~ 18-20% E-1/2, with a constant term <0.5%.

  10. Potential Applications in NLC • Compensating E-M & Hadron Calorimeters - CMS experience: combined crystal em + compensated hadron Calorimeter: hadrons sE/E ~ 90-100%E-1/2 + 3-4% - unacceptable for NLC performance. • To correct a crystal em+hadron system, Add a 2nd wavelength filtered Cerenkov photodetector to each crystal to compensate the crystal e-m calorimeter. Combined em+hadron Resolution should reach resolution of compensated hadron alone. • To correct any highly non-compensated em calorimeter, add some Cerenkov (or electron-sensitive) detector. • High Precision Sampling Hadron Calorimeter - MC indicates that sE/E ~ 20%E-1/2 + <1% practical - Energy-Flow possible with Clear & Scintillating “bricks” read-out with WLS fibers, similar to ATLAS, CMS schemes.

  11. Future Work on Cerenkov Compensation • Iowa/Fairfield are proposing to beam-test crystal compensation. Preliminary Tests at CERN this July/August. Need support for full test. • More Detailed GEANT4 MC of possible fiber and energy-flow designs in progress.
