Abstract:

The GlueX Experiment [1,2] will employ a barrel calorimeter consisting of layers of scintillating fibers sandwiched between thin sheets of lead. Since this device will be positioned inside a 2 Tesla solenoid, its readout system must be able to function efficiently in this environment. The most promising candidate for a readout device is a hybrid photo detector (HPD). Tests of such a device from DEP Electronics (Model PP0350G) as well as of its associated pre-amplifier circuit are reported here.
