Options for readout of the Bcal using existing technologies

  • Readout of the barrel calorimeter based on conventional photomultiplier tubes (GlueX-doc-832, Jun 2007)
  • Issues that need to be considered (rough outline)
    • light guides and collection
    • light detector
    • magnetic fringe fields / shielding
    • cabling / number and sizes of cables / signal degradation
    • dark box / "wrapping of detector"
    • impact on photon reconstruction [what is our current geometry?]
    • cost estimates
  • Comments:
    • Area of fibers cover 50% of the area of the end of the Bcal. Reduction is 2.
    • Area of the output of the WC (1.2 cm2) reduces the readout by 4cm2/1.2cm2 = 3.3.
  • The Sketch below is to illustrate the space constraints for any light collection and readout system:
