Outline for 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)
    1. light guides and collection
      • fiber light guides? re-evaluation of the granularity for the inner cal
    2. light detector
      • planacons, wire mesh pmts
    3. magnetic fringe fields / shielding
    4. cabling / number and sizes of cables / signal degradation
      • cable differences between various detectors, e.g. HV
    5. dark box / "wrapping of detector"
      • presently no scheme has been worked out for any scenario
    6. impact on photon reconstruction [what is our current geometry?]
      • what material is included for the WCs/SiPMs/cables?
    7. 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.

Space Constraints

  • The Sketch below is to illustrate the space constraints for any light collection and readout system:

Cathode coverage using fine-mesh pmts

Nominal design

         full area     Detectors           cathode   Fraction
inner     111.6 cm2    24 SiPM 1.44cm2     34.6 cm2   0.31
outer     113.4 cm2    4 XP2262 D=4.4cm    60.8 cm2   0.53


Fine-mesh pmts Option.
Note: Nine of the smallest 1" pmts bearly fit with housing over the inner
face. Four 1.5" pmts can fit over the outer face.

         full area     Detectors             cathode   Fraction
inner     111.6 cm2    9 H6152-70 D=1.75cm   21.6 cm2   0.19
outer     113.4 cm2    4 H8409-70 D=2.7cm    22.9 cm2   0.20
