Report

Introduction and General Info on Calorimeters

The YR Calorimetry Working Group has been collecting information on existing technologies used in as well as new technologies being developed for electromagnetic (ECAL) and hadron calorimeters (HCAL) and has been evaluating their applicability for the EIC project.

The important parameters of calorimeters are:

  • Energy resolution. The commonly used approximation for a particle of energy E is: σE/E = α ⊕ β/√E ⊕ γ/E. The term γ depends on the noise level and is typically negligible for photosensors with high gains. It is ignored in this study. The constant term α depends on a number of factors, including the calorimeter thickness (on the leakage of showers outside of the calorimeter active area), and also on the quality of the detector calibration. For ECALs with hundreds of channels or more, typically α>1% [1]. The stochastic term β depends on the technology used (the sampling ratio, the size of the signal observed etc.).
  • Position resolution of the particle impact. An approximation used: σx = δ ⊕ ε/√E ⊕ Δ·sin(θ). The resolution depends on the granularity (for ECAL limited by the Molière radius) and the energy resolution. The terms δ and ε are approximately proportional to the cell size, while θ is the angle between the incoming particle trajectory and the cell longitudinal axis. This last term becomes important for a non-projective geometry of the detector. For ECAL Δ≈X0 - the average radiation length of the material [2].
  • Lowest detectable energy Depends on the signal size versus noise and low-energy background.
  • ECAL: electron/pion separation Mostly depend on the energy resolution and the longitudinal segmentation (if any).
  • Detector longitudinal size A denser material allows to make the detector shorter for the given thickness in radiation lengths (ECAL) of interaction lengths (HCAL). The resolution may depend on the thickness.
  • Signal timing: the pulse length. A long signal may affect the signal/noise ratio and the pattern recognition.

A number of technologies have been studied and developed in the framework of the EIC R&D [3]. The WG mostly discussed the technologies addressed in these eRD1.

ECAL

The energy resolution of any calorimeter depends on:

  • Uniformity of the measured response across the volume of the detector (see for example W/ScFi)
  • Shower containment. The dependence of the energy resolution of the calorimeter on its depth in radiation length was addressed in [4]. Typically, a shorter calorimeter provides a higher constant term α. A high resolution (β=2%) calorimeter should be >22RL thick while a medium resolution one (β=12%) may be >18RL thick.
  • Signal size. More photoelectrons/GeV lead to smaller relative fluctuations and a lower impact of noise. A typical yield of a classic lead glass calorimeter is about 1000p.e./GeV providing fluctuations of RMS=3% at 1GeV, to be compared with the factor β. For high resolution calorimeters β<3% the yield should be higher.

The best energy resolution is obtained with homogeneous detectors which produce large signals per MeV absorbed. Scintillating crystals may provide β≃2%.

The resolution of sampling detectors may vary β≃5-15% depending on the sampling fraction and the granularity of the active and passive material:

  • Sampling Fraction is the fraction of the total energy released in the active material. For a better resolution one needs a larger sampling fraction, which typically increases the detector length for the same thickness in RL.
  • Sampling frequency is related to the thickness of one "layer" of the absorber and the active material (scintillator). This parameter is well defined for the "sandwich"-type geometry. The energy resolution gets worse for the thickness >0.25X0.

GEANT calculations [9] show the dependence of the resolution on the sampling frequency and on the calorimeter depth for a W/Sc shashlyk calorimeter. R.Wigmans et al [10] argues that the stochastic coefficient β is proportional to √(d/SF), where d is the thickness of the active material layer (or a fiber).

** Calculation only

The W/ScFi and Shashlyk calorimeters may have a significant non-uniformity of the response depending on the particle impact position and angle, because the fibers orientation is more or less along the partice trajectories. The best results was obtained with the "spiral fibers" (see Table.4 #5). However, the technology is complex in manufacturing and assembling.

HCAL

Hadron calorimeters technologies and application to EIC has been addressed in several presentations [21]. For a number of reasons the preference is given to a Iron/Scint sandwich with a WLS bar at a side for readout. The resolution depends on the thickness of the calorimeter. A 1m-thick calorimeter can provide β=50% and α=10%.

Readout considerations

Only detectors with optical readout have been considered. In the current scenarios the endcap ECAL photosensors will be located in a magnetic field of >0.1T, which precludes the usage of regular PMTs. The barrel ECAL is located in a >1T field. At the moment the sensor of choice is SiPM, which provides a high gain (about 106) and a medium photodetection efficiency of about 20%. The drawbacks are noise, small surface, sensitivity to neutron/proton radiation, sensitivity to temperature, a small dynamic range, and the intrinsic nonlinearity [22]. Radiation leads to a higher noise. For the same size of the light source SiPM can fire a number of pixels comparable to a PMT photoelectron count[23]. However, a fraction of the pixels fire due to the cross talk, not improving the statistical fluctuations. While a SiPM readout is natural for the fiber technologies as Shashlyk, it is not useful for a large-surface - 16cm2 - glass blocks. It has not been tested yet with 4cm2 crystals. The readout of endcap HCAL will be located in a smaller field. If iron is used for the absorber the field is low enough for PMTs.

The effect of non-linearity for SiPMs depends on the desired dynamic range and the calorimeter resolution. Let us consider the requirements of a 2% energy resolution at 1GeV and the maximum energy of 20GeV (the center of the e-arm). The p.e. (or pixel) count at 1GeV should be ≳10k (1% statistical fluctuations). Then, at 20GeV the pixel count with no saturation would be about 200k. A NICA module (see the TDR) has been tested with a Hamamatsu MPPC S13360-6025 which contains 57k pixels 25×25μm². With the yield of about 5000pxs/GeV the loss to non-linearity at 2GeV was about 10%. With 4 such sensors and 10000pxs/GeV the signal at 20GeV will be 66% of the linear extrapolation. The SiPM response should be calibrated to a 1% level which may be not trivial.

EIC requirements

In EIC experiments the calorimeters are needed for their usual tasks:

  • Detect neutral particles - gammas and neutrons.
  • Detect scattered electrons in ECAL in order to improve the energy/momentum resolution at large |η|
  • PID with ECAL: separate electrons and positrons from charged hadrons
  • Help with identification of jets

The physics requirements to the EIC detector system including the calorimeters are specified in the Interactive Detector Matrix. For the calorimeters the matrix originally specified only the required energy resolution, namely the stochastic term β.

The kinematic range and the requirements for the electron detection in ECAL was discussed at length in presentations [24]. The photon detection was also addressed there.

The requirements to HCAL coming from jet physics were discussed in presentations [25]. The physics working groups assume that HCAL has the 4π coverage.

Figure 1: Tentative EIC spectrometer layout from 2020 Jul 18

A practical limitation on possible choices of technologies comes from the space allocated for the EIC calorimeters. A layout of the spectrometer from the presentation by M.Breitfeller at the 1st YR Workshop ("Temple meeting") was first considered. In that design the hadron arm has ΔZ=87 cm allocated for HCAL and 38 cm for ECAL. The electron arm is the same, though there is no obvious obstacle for an extension toward the center of the magnet. A newer layout from a presentation by A.Kiselev (Maiami 2020 Jul) (see Fig.1) provides more space in the electron arm (ΔZ=50 cm) and is taken for guidance. The barrel calorimeter depends on the magnet design. For the BaBar magnet the outer diameter of ECAL can go up to 140 cm, while the minimal radial thickness of ECAL is about 30 cm (based on the sPHENIX experience).

At present, the conclusion is that technologies exist that meet (or nearly meet) the requirements as specified in the matrix. A selection of technologies that can fit into a given longitudinal space are listed below. Note that there are additional requirements on the technologies that have to be fulfilled depending on detector region.

Apart of the energy resolution the group has considered other characteristics of the proposed system and has studied various effects:

  • The spatial resolution - studied by simulation. The results match several measurements for similar detectors.
  • The e-- separation. The effect was discussed with the PID DWG and with physics groups [26]. It was concluded that other detectors may be needed to provide an additional e-- separation at energies <3 GeV.
  • The single photon versus π0 separation.
  • The impact of the material in front of ECAL on the performance [27]. At |η|>2 and p<10GeV the impact is significant.
  • Projectivity of ECAL modules: assumed for the barrel, but in question for the endcaps

Appendix

  • Endcap ECAL ΔZ<38 cm:
    • PbWO4 crystals: The technology is mature with additional R&D subject of EIC eRD1 (see the eRD1 reports) - several large detectors have been in operation, e.g. the Jefferson Lab CLAS inner calorimeter, HPS, CLAS12 forward tagger, HyCal, and NPS (arxiv). The typical resolution obtained at 18°C and with the PMT readout is β≈2.3%. A better light yield and a better resolution can be achieved at lower temperatures <5°C, but lower temperatures also impact radiation hardness and recovery (see EIC rRD1, NPS, CLAS12 forward tagger, and PANDA studies).
    • W powder + scint. fibers: technology developed for sPHENIX (see a summary), α=3% β=13-14%, with a SiPM readout. The resolution is limited by the non-uniformity inherent to the design.
    • W/Sc shashlyk: technology not yet demonstrated, but appears possible based on the developed Pb/Sc shashlyk technology. For the latter β≈10% is common, while β≈7% is challenging but has been achieved. Simulation for W/Sc shashlyk produced β≈8%. SiPM readout should not be a problem.
  • Endcap ECAL ΔZ<50 cm:
    • Scintillating glass: technology is actively under development as part of eRD1 (see EIC eRD1 reports). Compared with typical lead glass the expected light yield is an order of magnitude higher, while the radiation length is largely comparable. The scintillating glass is radiation hard under EM (tested to 10000 Gy) and hadron radiation (tested up to 10^15p/cm2), which is not the case for lead glass. Potentially, the resolution may reach β=3-4%. A more compact scintillating glass length of Z=25-30cm may be possible if higher resolution is acceptable. The optimal size of the photo sensor compared with the cell transverse size needs to be investigated. SiPM readout should not be a problem.
    • Pb/Sc shashlyk: technology is mature, with β=7-10%. SiPM readout should not be a problem.
  • Barrel ECAL ΔR<30 cm:
    • W powder + Sc. fibers: technology developed for sPHENIX, α=3% β=13-14%, with a SiPM readout. The resolution is limited by the non-uniformity inherent to the design.
    • W/Sc shashlyk: technology not yet demonstrated, but appears possible based on the developed Pb/Sc shashlyk technology. For the latter β≈10% is common, while β≈7% is challenging but has been achieved. SiPM readout should not be a problem.
  • Endcap HCAL ΔZ<105 cm
    • Fe/Sc: technology exists for β≈50%. Shorter longitudinal space will affect the resolution.
  • Barrel HCAL:
    • a Fe/Sc calorimeter has been developed for sPHENIX. The iron absorber is used for the magnetic flux return of the solenoid. The resolution is about β≈100%.



Calculations of the average parameters of composite structures

It has been notices that different papers sometimes give different numbers for the Molière radius of the same material. In order to treat different matials uniformly we recalculated the value of the radius using the same method. Calculation of the average density and radiation length of a composite structure is straightforward, knowing the composition, say by volume. For the Molière radius a prescription from PDG is used:
RM[g/cm²]=21MeV/∑(wiEi/Xi[g/cm²]), where wi is the fraction of the material by mass, Xi is the radiation length in g/cm², Ei - is the critical energy in MeV.
or
RM[cm]=21MeV/∑(viEi/Xi[cm]), where vi is the fraction of the material by volume, Xi is the radiation length in cm, Ei is the critical energy in MeV.
