Description
To enrich the physics program of the ALICE experiment at CERN, a newly designed Electromagnetic Calorimeter is being proposed as a possible upgrade in the Forward pseudo rapidity region. The calorimeter will be installed at a distance of about 3.5 meters from the vertex and cover a region of 2.5 to 4.8 in pseudo rapidity. The detector will be a novel silicon-tungsten design, which will be used for the first time in any high-energy physics experiment. For full containment of photon energy up to 200 GeV it has been found that 24 radiation lengths (layers) of material is sufficient. For this purpose a sampling type calorimeter with tungsten (absorber) and silicon (active material) has been considered
