  1. Particle identification in ECAL Yuri Kharlov, Alexander Artamonov IHEP, Protvino CBM collaboration meeting 28.09.2007 ECAL PID

  2. PID methods applicable for ECAL The aim of ECAL PID is to discriminate  and e from anything else • Charged track matching • Reject (for ) or identify (for e) ECAL clusters produced by charged tracks • Flight time measurement • Reject ECAL clusters produced by slow particles (mainly heavy hadrons) • Transverse shower shape • Discriminate electromagnetic and hadronic showers • Longitudinal shower profile • Discriminate electromagnetic and hadronic showers ECAL PID

  3. Flight time from target to ECAL (12 m) Neutral hadrons contribute to photon spectrum mainly at E<2 GeV Significant background is expected from antineutrons at 1.8 GeV Time resolution t=1 nsis sufficient for rejection of K0 and neutrons ECAL PID

  4. Longitudinal profile of electromagnetic shower (PDG) ECAL PID

  5. Prototype of “Two-Sections” ECAL Module 20X0 = 10X0 + 10X0 Two channel PMT based on PM FEU-115M dynode system 110 Lucite prism for uniform light mixing 450 Total radiation length = 20Xo. Number of layers = 85 Lead plate thickness = 1.3 mm Scintillator plate thickness = 4.0 mm Scintillator –Polystyrene + 1.5%PT + 0.05% POPOP Wave Length Shifting Fibers – Y11 Light from the first half of calorimeter (preshower) was collected to one anode and light from the second half to another.
