The Pair Spectrometer

The pair spectrometer consists of the converter, the dipole magnet and two types of scintillator detectors: 290 high-granularity hodoscope and 16 low-granularity counters (PSC), which are used to detect e+e- pairs produced in the converter by a beam photon. The converter accommodates up to 3 thin foil targets and a wire, which will be used to study the profile of the photon beam. The magnet will be operated at 1.8 T field. Light from scintillators is detected by SiPMs and Hamamatsu H7415 assemblies for the hodoscope and PSC, respectively. The nominal operating voltage for PMTs is about 1.2 kV.

Routine Operation

Checking PS settings

If the pair spectrometer is used during taking data, before starting the run the shift should:

  • check that the right converter is inserted to the photon beam.
