Description

CASTOR is a project of a forward Cherenkov sampling calorimeter for the CMS experiment at the LHC. It is constructed with quartz plates as active medium and tungsten as absorber. Three prototypes of the calorimeter have been constructed and tested at CERN in the past years. In summer 2008 data with an optimized design, chosen PMT's and final front-end electronics have be taken with a full-length octant (10 hadronic interaction length) at the CERN SPS machine. Very low beam energies below 10 GeV were among the highlights of the test beam program. Results from these test beam measurements are reported here
