The Lead - Liquid Argon Sampling Calorimeter of the Sld Detector+
نویسنده
چکیده
The lead liquid argon sampling calorimeter of the SLD detector is the largest det_ector employing cryogenic liquids now in operation. This paper details the design and performance considerations, the mechanical and cryogenic systems, the absorber design and tower segmentation, the data acquisition electronics, and the control systems of the detector. The initial operational performance of the device is discussed. Detailed resolution studies will be presented in a later paper. -

متن کاملDevelopment and Construction of Large Size Signal Electrodes for the ATLAS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
We describe the electric circuits (electrodes) which polarize and readout the Lead-Liquid Argon electromagnetic calorimeter for the ATLAS detector. The paper covers design and material choices of the circuits as well as their production in industry. We also show how the electrodes integrate into the calorimeter and conclude with results from groups of electrodes making up calorimeter modules. ∗...
متن کاملQuality Control of Optical Transmitters for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter
A quality control test is performed on nearly 2000 custom optical transmitters for use in the Liquid Argon Calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. More than 90% of these optical transmitters passed the test and have been installed in the calorimeter readout system. The acceptance criteria, measurement procedure, and results of the quality control test are presented in this note.
