Arm#1 Arm#2 LHCf Detectors LHC Ring ATLAS • Sampling Calorimeter • W 44 r.l , 1.6λI • Scintilator x 16 Layers • Position Detector • Scifi x 4 (Arm#1) • Scilicon Tracker x 4(Arm#2) • Detector size • W90 x D280 x H620
Where we are with Arm1? • Arm1 was fully assembled in Japan in July 2006 (scintillators + fibers + Tungsten) and brought to CERN for the Beam Test
Where we are with Arm2? • Plastic scintillators + Light guides + Tungsten: • Production in Japan finished in July 2006 • They were brought in Florence end of July • First Silicon module (Milestone INFN): • Production in Florence finished in July 2006 • Assembly of Arm2 for beam test was done in Florence in August 2006 • Arm2 was brought at CERN for the beam test on August 16, 2006 • To complete Arm2 3 more silicon modules are necessary • We will finish the modules before Christmas • Arm1 and Arm2 are now both in Florence clean rooms • Final integration of Arm2 will be done before March 2007
Pre-calibrations • For all PMTs • PMT gain at "1 MIP" was pre-calibrated by using plastic scintillator with 90Y beta ray. • HV dependence of gain was measured with all PMTs by using N2 laser. • Saturation effect was measured up to 7 TeV gamma shower maximum. • For all Scintillators • The position dependence of light yield was measured to make correction tables • For Scifi & MAPMTs • Gain and photon yield difference of each channel was measured by 12C ion beam.
