BaBar forward endcap RPCs
The BaBar detector has operated over 2000m of resistive plates chambers (RPCs) as muon and neutral hadron detectors since 1999. Most of the RPCs of the original production underwent a significant efficiency loss and many are now completely inefficient. During the summer 2002 new RPCs from a recent production were therefore installed to replace the old chambers in the forward endcap. The experie...
متن کاملCMS Hadronic Endcap Calorimeter Upgrade R&D Studies
Due to an expected increase in radiation damage in LHC, we propose to transform CMS Hadronic EndCap calorimeters to radiation hard quartz plate calorimeters. Quartz is proved to be radiation hard by the radiation damage tests with electron, proton, neutron and gamma beams. However, the light produced in quartz comes from Cerenkov process, which yields drastically fewer photons than scintillatio...
متن کاملBaBar Level-1 Drift Chamber Trigger Upgrade
submitted to the Xth VCI 2004 30 November 2003 This BaBar L1 DCT upgrade is essential for improving L1 trigger background rejection in preparation for the expected increase in PEP-II luminosity. A large fraction of the current L1 trigger background come from interactions of beam particles with beam line components at ∼ ±20 cm from the interaction point (IP), along the beam direction (z axis). T...
متن کاملLimited Streamer Tubes for the Babar Instrumented Flux Return Upgrade
Starting from the very beginning of their operation the efficiency of the RPC chambers in the BaBar Instrumented Flux Return (IFR) has suffered serious degradation. After intensive investigation, various remediation efforts had been carried out, but without success. As a result the BaBar collaboration decided to replace the dying barrel RPC chambers about two years ago. To study the feasibility...
متن کاملGas system Upgrade for the BaBar IFR detector at SLAC
A new gas distribution and monitoring system was installed as part of an upgrade of the forward endcap muon detection system (IFR) of the BaBar detector at SLAC. Over 300 gas circuits are controlled and monitored. The return gas flow is monitored by digital bubblers which use photo-gate electronics to count the bubbling rate. The rates are monitored in real time and recorded in a history databa...
