Radiation damage in the SDC hadronic endcap calorimeter

Detectors for the SSC face a radiation field which is very dependent on angle. For example, the SDC ''barrel'' calorimeter can function well for 100 year operation of the SSC running at desip luminosity, while the small angle ''forward calorimeter'' faces Grad of radiation in the same period. The SDC ''endcap'' calorimeter is in an intermediate location. One wishes to examine whether it might be possible to use conventional scintillator technology with periodic refurbishment in the endcap- The angular range covered by the endcap spans the region, 1.4 < η < 3.0. In this note, only the hadronic (HAD) compartment is considered. The electromagnetic (EM) compartment is considered elsewhere
