NA49 apparatus Successfully operated until 2002 S. Afanasiev , et al. (NA49 Collaboration), Nuclear Instruments and Methods A430 (1999) 210
NA49 facility: Large acceptance: ≈80% @158GeV High momentum resolution: Good particle identification: High detection efficiency: > 95% Precise and rich physics results: 37 publications with final data Tested in 2006 and 2007 runs: No degradation of the performance since the beginning of operation Reconstruction, calibration, simulation and analysis software works All necessary experts are in the collaboration Report from the test run: CERN-SPSC-2006-023, SPSC-SR-010(September 5, 2006)
Upgraded NA49 apparatus NA49: Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A430, 210 (1999) Upgrades: CERN-SPSC-2006-034, SPSC-P-330
Basic upgrades: • 2007: • Modification and replacement of obsolete equipment, • construction of the forward ToF wall • re-establish the full functionality of NA49 • 2008: Replacement of the TPC digital read-out and DAQ: • an increase of the event rate by about 20 to 80 Hz • 2011: • Projectile Spectator Detector: • an increase of the resolution in the measurement ofthe number of projectile spectators by a factor ≈5to ∆E/E ≈ 50%/E, • Installation of the Helium beam pipe in the VTPC cage • reduction of the delta-electron background bya factor of 10

Projectile Spectator Detector (PSD) – NA61 calorimeter Role of the PSD in NA61 • Precise determinationof the number of projectile spectatorsin the NA61 ion programme • Measurement of centrality: b~ A - Nspect (selection of centrality at trigger level) • Measurement of event-by-eventfluctuations (to exclude the fluctuation of participants) • Reconstruction of the reaction plane Main features of the PSD • high granularity: 12 x 9 array of modules (10x10x125 cm3) transverse homogeneity of energy resolution, • compensated calorimeter (e/h = 1), lead/scintillator sampling ratio 4:1 high energy resolution ~50%/sqrt(E) should be achieved • longitudinal segmentation (10 sections per module calibration, improve energy resolution • light readout from each sections by novel MAPDs provide large dynamic range (range of the detected energies – 10-30000 GeV)
