Barrel Calorimeter Status Quo Zisis Papandreou University of Regina GlueX Collaboration Meeting JLab, December 11-13, 2003 SPARRO Group, University of Regina
Outline • BCAL Module Prototyping • 2-m Module-0 Construction & Tests • 4-m Module-1 Preparations • BCAL Readout R&D • HPD Review • SiPM Test Results SPARRO Group, University of Regina
2-m Module-0 • Great crew of undergraduates • Construction Completed • 200cm (l) x 13cm (w) x 17cm (t) • 180kg • Polishing Completed • Preliminary Tests with Cosmics SPARRO Group, University of Regina
Module-0 “The Matrix” • Construction method • Tricks, Do’s and don’t’s • Method is under control • Minor R&D required for 4-m Module-1 SPARRO Group, University of Regina
2-m Gluing & Pressing Process All that glue for GlueX. SPARRO Group, University of Regina

… oops 1m Mod … but on closer look: 2m Mod The “Ruler” Test SPARRO Group, University of Regina
When you least expect it… …Big Brother is watching! SPARRO Group, University of Regina
Matrix Reloaded • 2-m testing with cosmics and beam (Serpukov/Hall B?) • 1-m prototype with Scintillator sheets (IU). • 4-m prototype construction at CSR/UofA • MOU with UofA signed. • Softer Pb received (Vulcan), Epoxy (Bicron) • 100-km fibers arrived; snag in shipment • 4.5-m press, Cutting, Spooling Design • Preparations at UofA are underway for 4m work • Timetable: completion August 2004?

And what about the readout? • 2 Tesla field; field gradient • Compact design; cost considerations • Technology: • Hybrid Photo Diode – Review • Silicon Photo Multiplier – New Tests • Multi Channel Plates? • Avalanche Photo Diodes? SPARRO Group, University of Regina
HPD Measurements (Vitaly Kovaltchouk, Keith Wolbaum, Garth Huber) • HPD gain is 1600; preamp, amp-shaper needed • Noise: Setup is sensitive but under control • Light sources: • Xe-N flasher: its RF interfers; requires shielding • NaI crystal and 241Am, 137Cs and 60Co sources • LED (pulsed): neutral density filter, fiber lightguide • Measurements: HPD PP0350G with Multi-Channel Analyzer (Tektronix 5200) • Bottom line: system works, rise time poor, energy resolution modest, components are expensive SPARRO Group, University of Regina

SiPM in a nutshell • Very promising readout for BCAL • Better timing and energy resolution than standard 2” PMTs • $50 prototypes, $1 for bulk orders? • Tests to come: • Couple to Module-0 and measure • Test in high magnetic field (MRI?) • Radiation hardness • Geometrical packing (Winston cones, wavelength shifters funnel light down) SPARRO Group, University of Regina
So, where are we? • Matrix construction is well in hand • 2-m test cosmic results available soon • 4-m will have modest R&D obstacles • Construction site (UofR, UofA…) • Readout type may have been found • SiPM very suitable (MCP, APD?) • Frame and integration issues outstanding SPARRO Group, University of Regina
